How do you stop a 30 year old male shopaholic from spending, and the lies?
Answers:
Make him go on the Trisha show - if that doesn't embarass him into stopping, nothing will.
Threaten him with something.
cut his hands off
Take all his wages off him and give him pocket money. Explain its for his own good or he will end up in loads debt. Good Luck
take his money and c/cards and then get him shoplifting when he gets caught and goes to jail that will stop him
Cut up the credit cards, and get him to a counsellor for cognitive therapy, but he must want to cure his addiction to begin with, close joint accounts and keep money separate
If its his money. nothing.as for the lies..No idea..
Chop up his credit cards
take away the credit cards.
take away his money and cards.... have just finshed paying back ££££ for bad spending when i was in my 20's.
its all bad...gotta stop it asap!!!
Get him on that Spendaholic programme on BBC3. They'll sort him out.
take away any money that he may have, credit cards etc. Dont nag or yell at him, but tell him how his shopping makes you feel and how it is effecting your feelings for him.
Take away his cards and money.. seek professional help!
Cut up his plastic (credit/debit cards) and empty his pockets of cash and hide away somewhere safe (without him knowing it)
Take all his credit cards and money, or pretend you're gonna have some kinky fun with him then leave him cuffed to something solid.As for the lies you could cut out his tongue.
u cant.its impossible.
Is this your son? Get him a woman. Is this your boyfriend/husband? Be happy he's not a womanising pig!
He needs therapy. Addictive, compulsive behaviors require professonal help.
You can't stop him.
He has to realize he has a problem and want to get help before anything can be done.
If he won't face up to his problem, leave before he drags you down with him.
If the cards have been stopped, etc. Have you tried removing him from the account? He can't spend what he doesn't have. Make sure you keep your own cash safe, he may resort to stealing when he's cut off from everything. You should try if it's joint between the two of you. Other wise he'll eventually find out it's not a good situation for him and others involved.
GOOD LUCK!
First are you two seeing a counselor for help? If your committed to staying together (and you should for better or worse) than this is the biggest part.
You must take his name off all accounts and put an note on all three of his credit reports that he suffers from a medical condition and should not be given credit.
Make a budge together, and make him responsible to pay some of the bills (make sure he brings you the receipt). Use only cash. Basally give him an allowance and never more than 1 day's cash at a time.
Good luck.
