Using my partner’s premium card — I think it’s feeding my shopping addiction 😬

So… I don’t actually own a premium credit card myself, but I’ve been using my partner’s (mostly for convenience). The problem is, I’ve started noticing how easy it feels to spend with all the perks. Big limit, nice rewards, no “pain” when swiping - and then the guilt hits later.

I’m realizing it might be making my shopping addiction worse. Even just having access gives me that little “I can afford it” rush, when really… I can’t.

Has anyone else dealt with this? How did you handle it - like, did you ask your partner to take away access, set limits, or make rules around it? I don’t want to hurt their trust, but I also don’t trust myself right now.

Any tips for how to talk about it without making it weird or turning it into a fight?

Thanks - I’m trying to be honest with myself (and my partner) before it gets worse
