writes: What do you do when you find out that your spouse of thirty years has a private post office box and over 47 thousand dollars in credit card bills? When I asked her about them she said I did not give her enough grocery money. However, I told her after checking her credit history with our accountant, that you don't buy food at Kohls, LL Bean, Eddy Bower, J.C. Penny's, Sears or Cherry and Webb. She told me to go ?+ and %$ myself. What should I do???? I have moved out since her comment. Thanks

Run to a lawyer. You don't spend that on groceries, which means she has as shopping problem. I say run to a lawyer because shortly that debt will come knocking and all your hard work will mean nothing. See what a lawyer can suggest.

Are you liable for her credit card debts? If you are, there is no running away from them even though you left her.
You could cancel all her credit cards , get a personal loan to pay for those credit card debts.
The chickens have come home to roost.
As to your wife, if 30 years don't mean a thing , you could see a lawyer for a divorce.
Maybe , you should let things cool down a bit before you make any decisions over this issue.

Depending on how long it took to accumulate this debt, it could be anything from a mild issue that has been adding up for decades or a severe recent compulsion that needs professional treatment immediately.
