re: debts accrued by either spouse in a marriage belong to both parties.
I'm Canadian, so I don't really know how it works in the US, but this is a common misconception amongst Canadians (where it is not always true).
It depends on whether the spouses got the card together or depends on whether the spouses USED the card together.
If you get a card and ask for a spousal card and the spouse uses the spousal card, the debt 100% belongs to both parties. (ie. if one defaults, the other is responsible to pay).
If you used joint property to secure the debt, then they are both on the hook.
If one partner went ahead and applied for a card and didn't get a spousal card, then it's only the spouse who got the card's debt.
Bill collectors might tell you you owe the money even though you legally don't, so get good advice so you know what you're talking about when confronted.

that's so awful about spending the family savings and running up debt.
Here's hoping that it's on his own credit cards and not spousal ones.
What a terrible way to get screwed.

Thanks for this. I love Istanbul. I've visited several times and have valued business partners there.

Holy crap. This is still going.
Look, WSN, if you read all these comments and your response was to post your un-edited letter (which contained no new information) thinking that people might change their minds, just shows how delusional you are about this.
Seriously. Talk to a professional. If, at 21, a fumbly teenaged make-out session is still causing you trauma, what's going to happen when something that's actually traumatic happens to you?

further to that, EricaP, when asked if it was forced, she responds with "he was 80lbs bigger than me" without describing anything that sounds like force.

someone blowing a load in their pants while they were making out with you should be something looked on with humour, ffs, not something that traumatizes you for 7 years. grow up!
