I USE HIS CASH FOR SHOPPING ADDICTION FIX

I developed a worrying internet shopping addiction during lockdown. But, what’s worse, is that I use a joint account I have with my boyfriend to spend money. The account is for household stuff – groceries, bills and the mortgage – and while my boyfriend pays into it (as I do), he barely ever checks it.

I’ve run up an overdraft on it several times and I’ve had to increase the overdraft facility.

On one occasion, I actually took money off a credit card to get back in the black, so now I have credit card debt too.

My boyfriend has no idea. Can you help get me out of this mess? I hate lying to him.
