I broke the trust that my wife had in me. i told her i was paying bills and i wasn't. we got some notices today, and i had to explain myself....to say the least it wasn't pretty. My wife was extremely upset and with good reason. i really blew it. Now I have to try and regain her trust...that won't be easy. I have a long road ahead and I could really use some prayer and any advice would be good. trying to regain trust. please help

Be honest w/ your wife and apologize. You will be amazed how this will help. If she gets upset, don't be defensive, let her tell you how she feels and validate her feelings by telling her that you would be upset too, if she had done something like this. You are talking about jeopardizing your financial future not to mention your credit scores and and the ability to purchase in the future. It's a big deal and she probably needs to see from you that you realize this. Just a suggestion.

Here's some suggestion:
OFFER or PROPOSE to your wife if she would like to be the one to handle the household finances. If she agrees, and is not a "shopaholic" and is very good with her finances, what have you got to lose? Then what you need to do is schedule a "maintenance" check on your finances monthly.
Remember, most women have a pretty sharp memory when it comes to dates. We know when bills come and when they are due. My husband who has a background in accounting still have problems remembering and forgetting to pay his bills once in a blue moon that he has to do the Indy 500 to the bank to make his payment on time.
Unless there's a lot more to your story when it comes to trust, then you might want to deal with that too.
