Im not going to sell my toys because not one penny of that CC is mine. Im not giving up the things I work hard for for that. Especially because she hid it from me until now.
This seems to be a contradiction. Which one is it ?

We are together as in living together. The whole $4,000 on a walmart discover card I had nothing to do with..

Why should I sell my toys that I work hard for for that CC?? So I can be out something that I enjoy and STILL have nothing to show for that $4k?

I dont think so.

because you care for her and your future together. But if you don't care for her then by all means make her suffer for her "sins".
are you SURE that $4k has nothing to do with you? Food, lightbulbs, detergents, toothpaste, etc are commonly bought at Wallymart.
Lastly, looks like you're living paycheck to paycheck. Even without this CC debt, it's not a safe way to live financially.

With this attitude you are not in it together. Doesn't look like this will be a long lasting relationship. So either cut your losses or make some sacrifices like selling some of your toys.

Her getting another job is not really a feasible option. She works 5 days a week as a hair stylist. Her working another 2 would just make our townhouse look like sh!t inside and I wouldnt have a cooked meal.
Whoa is me but can't or won't do anything about it. If I was her father or boyfriend i'd tell her to get her little ass a second and third job. You two shouldn't see each other because she should always be working. Cut up every card she owns, cook your own damn meals and break out the Lemon Pledge once in a while on your own. Are you helpless or lazy?

And wtf are you thinking sharing accounts with a girl you aren't even married to? And if you are thinking about marrying her sell your little bike, pay off her debt and never let it happen again. After that, instead of paying minimums, make her put $250 a month away to buy your bike back (pay cash when you have all the money saved, not on credit). Or better yet, go buy something that isn't a depreciating asset.

i would advise her pay the minimum. then get 10 more credit cards. go on a super shopping spree buying as much crap as she can handle. finance some new flat screens and then file for bankruptcy.
