All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Situation: 

When my husband and I got married, I was debt free and my credit was good.

My husband’s credit was not good, he could not put utilities into his name, he had defaulted on a student loan, he had not paid back his mom for debt from his previous marriage, and he had back taxes due that I found out about several years since our marriage. 

When we got married, everything went into my name including utilities, vehicles and the purchase of our home.

We are now separated and although working towards reconciliation, I do believe it will take considerable time.  In the meantime, our home will be foreclosed on because he can’t afford the house on his own nor can I pay the payment while renting another place.  Utilities are still in my name and he is agreeing to pay them and has been. 

The reality is my husband and his son will have to move, with or without me.  The house payments are two months behind and I don’t know how long the process to foreclose will take.  I am asking that he plan financially to move on his own meaning be prepared with deposits, etc. and take on utilities in his name once he has moved. 

He is angry that I am treating him like a child because I am “testing” him.  I explained that I feel he needs to stand on his own with or without me. 

Question:

My heart’s desire is to do God’s Will.  What is the best way to deal with this situation?  Am I wrong for expecting him to be able to move on his own and take on that responsibility?  I need to understand the bible aspect of this on this.

No question about it, you are living "life" the hard and difficult parts of it.  My own opinion is, what you are doing will only benefit the future, no matter what that future is.  I think I remember that you both are going through counselling.  Also talking to a financial counselor, may help things in this area.  All of this must be hard on both of you.  I don't want him to be embarrassed, by any of these things, but facing them will help in healing any of that.  We fear what we don't know, by finding out what really is going on, will remove that power fear can have.  I am praying for all of you.  Lord Bless
