Marriage and how it affects credit

[Anonymous]

regarding the "old lady alone" comment --- not in a rocking chair but an old lady able to do anything she wants to do including take a $30K trip around the world on her card!

Unless you have soooo much liquid cash that you really don't need credit then you need to have a good score to get the most from the credit you have.

OP, I think you need to have a serious talk with him - no threats or the like - but really explain the impact his actions have on YOU as a couple.

In a wierd twist of events, since I have become credit obsessed, I have realized many things.  Relationships send my credit into the toilet so to speak...always trying to help...So new rules...bad credit scores means you are outta here...Last two guys I dated...disaster...never knew ones credit info...but I could see how he handled his bidness..."Just pay it late"....NOT!!!  And the last one told me he didn't give a d**n about his credit score...Sent him packin....
