My husband is trades the stock market for a job and starting in July this year made some losses which have continued. He also trades money for my mother and from this provides her with the income that she lives on.
I have been very concerned about our finances and as a result have returned to full time work to support us which I do not mind as we do not yet have a family and I am happy to support us during this time.
The losses have continued and recently I found out that we have no money left and my husband has continued to trade with my mother’s money and has depleted that amount.
We have had some arguments as I have encouraged him to go back to work as we are falling further into debt. He just becomes very angry and keeps wanting more time to try and recifity the accounts. Up to this time he has always done very well and had a very successful career.
I do not want to dictate what he should do and I know that he is really devastated about everything that has happened, he is quite old fashioned in values and finds it difficult not being the provider.
Please help - I obviously cant force him back to work but dont know what boundaries to set with him…. I feel very strongly about him returning to work as we need some income, but I am also aware that as a “provider” to be told what to do is not good for him.
