echoing this. it's an odd mess up because it wasn't really one thing OP's partner did in secret - it was hundreds of purchases over years. they knew they were racking up a debt that they couldn't pay and hid it for as long as they could. i would find it difficult to forgive and forget
This is the correct answer. Better to rip off the band-aid now rather than later. This wasn't a one-time fuckup, it was a deliberate fraud perpetrated over multiple years.
R/relationshipadvice calling. It’s unexplainable from outside behavior, but not deliberate fraud, cmon. Deliberate fraud is when you “laugh all the way to the bank”, not spend on take outs over the years.
