Wheels and heels man – nothing but trouble (if my wife sees this she’ll kill me!)

Seriously though, this is a great message. It is too easy to blame others and the fact that you recognized the issue is great. I look forward to other posts in this series.

At risk of sounding contrary, it doesn’t sound as though your mistake was that you dated a high-maintenance girl, but that you weren’t honest with her about your ability to pay for the lifestyle that she wanted to live. If, as you say, you behaved as if you could afford all those things, why is she to blame for your debt? Who can say what would have happened if you were more forthcoming?
