The credit crunch has nothing to do with it, my husband's spending habits are the cause but I had no idea what he had spent it on until now.I asked him where all the money had been going, and to admit it openly.He admitted he'd spent $50,000 on counselling services and became addicted to the buzz of going to various counselling services.He said he had "troubles he couldn't talk about" to me, and obviously because they're counsellors he spoke to, confidentiality applies.Yet on the surface he appeared happy and was in a job he loved, with no worries in life at all, or so it seemed.I just can't understand why he spent all this money.Now I know where he really was when he said he was"out with friends".What can I do and how can I manage the debt properly?I worry I may need to seek counselling for this, and just can't get anywhere with the situation.thanks, Jacqui

 I'm with Gina. I wouldn't believe it was all for counseling unless I saw the bills.

 I have to say this is the first time I've come across someone who's addicted to counseling. Most addicts, counseling is recommended. What to do when the addiction is the treatment for the addiction?
I don't believe "counseling" as the act of seeking it is the issue that is driving this addiction. Similar to many other addictions, counseling is being used as a tool to cope with the underlying issue. Finding the cause is important. I don't believe sending him to a counselor is beneficial because of the addiction, at least until he knows what he's there for.
