Unfortunately they didn't get married for the right reasons, so I think his letting her go on these shopping sprees was his way of keeping her occupied so he wouldn't have to deal with her. But, in normal situations, yes I completely agree with what you're saying! @ tom - I think people have a tendency to think it can't happen to them, and that's where the trouble comes into play. But you're right, they need to start being honest with themselves and planning ahead. @ kosmo - Agreed! @ Dawn - But I think even in your situation it's possible to feel stagnant. You can become complacent in the many things you're doing that you become numb. It could even turn into a situation where life's topsy turvy motions become so routine that people stop analyzing where they are. I'm not saying you, of course, just speaking in general. I don't think there's really ever a place where you don't have to worry about becoming stagnant in some way. @ BM – I think they’re problem was bigger then a lack of communication.

Currently my life is too topsy turvey to feel like I am stagnant on anything, but I have been there many times in my life. Sometimes it takes something big to shove my out of my rut - like what happened to Steve, sometimes I can do it on my own. I think a lot of people are feeling dissatisfied with their lives right now. This financial crises seems to be getting all of us to re-evaluate our lives. I’ve been there.

Once you fall even 1 day behind with the bills, it's a sign that you really need to curb some expenditures. Ouch.

They should realize that this can go on for years and in general, the economy is just fixing itself, which means our lifestyles will go down and we will lose many luxuries we are so used to.

In many cases one spouse handles all the finances and the other spouse is completely in the dark either by choice or by circumstances. So when there is a financial setback like job loss or medical debts, it's possible that one spouse understands and tries to cut back and the other spouse refuses to accept the reality and try to continue like , therefore totally unable to make any change.
