For one you can get divorced. That’s just plain stupid if you love your spouse. It’s just not worth it. Also, that can get you into more debt. Plus it can ruin you and the ones you love.
You can think you know best go behind her back and start paying the debt with your family’s extra money each month. That doesn’t work to well because it’s just plain dishonest.
Lastly you can just give in not make any effort at all. That won’t work either because all it will do is harbor resentment. Believe me I know from experience. You’ll harbor resentent from this.
You’ll need to meet on common ground with your spouse. Since everything in a working relationship is based on give and take, making an effort to pay off extreme amounts of debt is no different. Other than taking no measures to pay off your debt each month settle for using less money to pay it off.
You should also keep in mind that your spouse will see things differently than you will. It’s not so horrible. In fact we all need that in order to put our best foot forward. You’ll be better off.
