    It’s never to late to stop sound like you may have some good credit rating I really fink you need to be honest with your wife and tell her everything and hope that she stand by you and help you ive lost silly money myself 80k and im 26 I know only ow 17k still a long way to go but with my partner help I can’t gamble she has total control over the money it’s the best thing I’ve ever done it’s hard to recommend somthing for a 36k debt on credit card as 36% is a lot and you could stuggle to get rid of it with that apr you can get a debt management plan they will also help you you dong want to let that 36% apr on 36k carry on for to long you could do with rather getting bank loan with like apr rate of around 7.4 and get rid of that credit card you could also call debt management they will help you so much with managing your money i do fink you need to talk with your wife I understand its a hard thing to do she’s your soulmate she should stand by you and help you admit what you have done tell her you got a problem hoping she will work with you to help you put barrors in place for you hope this can help you a bit your not on your own out there buddy
