"This wasn’t a debt incurred by lavish spending. Your wife was getting an education. The good news: You are tackling this issue together, without regret or blame. Yes, there was a huge breach of trust. Your wife should have told you before you were married."

Lol. Bullshit. I'd be willing to bet money that some of that debt was her living off the loan. I've seen that out of some old friends from High School. Complain about their debt now, but were using some of the loan $ to go out to eat, or club, etc.

As far as being told before? Of course it should've been told before! If I took on a business partner that'd be liable for any of the company's debt, & just left out hundreds of thousands $ in debt, I'd be sued into oblivion. Could probably end up doing time even.

I’ve known my wife for 8-plus years and I’m happily married with a newborn son. We both make a good living ($100,000 per year), but we pay a significant amount in student loans. I work multiple jobs, and we get some help from my parents and scholarships. My master’s cost 3 times less than her master’s. She owes over $200,000 in federal student loans and another $20,000 in private student loans (one is at 12%). I was not aware at the time that my wife’s loans were twice our mortgage payment and, while I think we will manage, it has really eaten into an already hectic marriage with our newborn. I don’t know who to turn to for advice and I feel like we have become economic slaves. We pay $1,000 each month just to keep her large federal loan from accruing interest. She’s very well educated, but money is a handicap. I recently started managing her debts and realized she had not made payments for a few months due to forbearance and misunderstanding her loans, unfortunately those few months added $5,000 onto the accrued interest of the total we already owe. I’ve begun to learn as much as I can about debt, and student debt, but I know I’m not where I need to be. Please help. Economic Slave in Chicago

My wife is still working full time and I’m working effectively two jobs

Still? I guess he knows she'll stop working and let him pay all the bills.

How could she possibly forget about her debts until marriage?
