In the last month and a half my wife hid $6,500 in credit card purchases from me. After spending some time alone I decided to return to her with compassion and help her try to fix this problem. I made her return “as much as she possibly could” and she was able to get back only $1000 of it. I found out she was paying four different small-loan companies that help poor people buy expensive shit. I told her if she was lying about anything else I would divorce her. She broke down, apologized profusely, I thought things were going to be OK. Fastforward one week and I got us hooked up to a budgeting app that pulls in all our transactions from banks, credit cards etc. She had two credit cards and mysteriously said one of them wouldn’t sync because it had a zero balance. Well today I called her on it and she showed me her phone. An additional $2600 was on this card that she did not tell me about.
This was all over the course of one and a half months. What would you do?
We’re not poor. She is a stay at home mom. I have a remote job.
Cameron Perez
How much you make? Family of 3, soon to be 4 should make 170k per year to not be a poorfag. She has to go back to work, you you have to divorce her.. sucks bro.. I got a worthless wife, but no kids and she doesn't spend my money on anything...
Jackson Hernandez
I make about that much after bonus and stocks. Its not really about the money... its about the deception.
Aiden Hall
>if you are lying about anything else I will divorce you >lies about something else >surprisedpikachu.jpg
Just depends on how much you respect yourself here, fam. What was she spending all the money on? Drugs? Hookers? If you stay you gotta figure that part out. Also, you'll need to figure out a container to store your balls in since they've been cut off.
Aiden Hall
It was spent on expensive bags, shoes and clothing. All of it on useless stupid shit she will never even wear. Yeah, I sound like a total faggot but this came out of nowhere and shit was just fine before this.
Michael Barnes
I feel ya. Yeah, she is a liar. You will get screwed on divorce for sure. But at least the money you lose on divorce is just half of everything you have, plus alimony and child support for next 19 years while it hurts, it's not got a 19-27% interest tied to it... credit card debt is fucking awful, and "paying off" pay day loan scams with a fucking credit card is just one more foot in the grave. You need to get away from that. Sorry you married such a cunt.
Brody Ramirez
trusting her again with money will be hard
protect yourself and your kids / family find ways to get all her current credit card history and "ban" any new cards and financial possibilities - blacklist it or something
Samuel Cooper
I took her credit cards and her phone. The trust is definitely lost. Thanks bro
Josiah Ward
Would one of the expensive bags be small enough for your balls to be stored in? Do you want to be married to someone you don't trust? I had a loss of trust issue with my wife. It was 18 years ago. I still don't trust her. Had kids, wasn't worth ruining their lives. But its a lifetime of no trust. Every night when you're trying to go to sleep you're trying to figure out what you've missed that could destroy everything all over again.
David Nelson
Yeah... I don’t want to live like that. We have been saving for a down payment on a house. I wanted the goof life. She was not on board... probably never will be after this reveal.
Tyler Miller
Good* but goof is appropriate now.
Grayson Martinez
Get fitted for a cock cage and get to work on your cuck shed.
Wyatt Stewart
On the other hand.. let's giver her the benefit of the doubt. You say this is out of no where.. she is a young stay at home mom. She's got crazy hormones running thru her cause prego.. she definitely has lost all rights to access moneybor spend it, but maybe she is depressed, lonely and realizing that everything will only get worse until she dies.. doesnt really give her an excuse to be such and idiot, but there is something going on in her brain that she isnt letting you know about. Shes probably ashamed, scared.. still stupid, but does she have friends? Did she have a job before first baby? Are you a good husband?
Xavier Fisher
Brutal bro. But thanks.
Gavin Gonzalez
It never gets better.
Austin Hall
To be a total cuck, I think you nailed it. This is where my head is at. She is a month and a half pregnant and was an accountant before all this. She hates staying at home and always complains about wanting to go back to work.
Wyatt Sanders
does she understand the dangers of doing this? Using credit cards as "free money" or inflated income?
Luis King
My dad told me to never get married. I always laughed but I understood where he came from.
Josiah Nguyen
I thought she was smart. I got us credit cards for the cash back and used it for that purpose. She was tricked by the jew and went nuts.
Jaxson Lee
Of course not. She was turning her family finances into a Jenga tower of credit cards and loans with no way to pay for them for a fucking handbag, and then she valued the handbag more than her husband's trust.
Henry Roberts
At the very least you have to close all joint accounts and make her live off an allowance and cancel all credit cards and get new ones in your name only. If she uses those you have to charge her with fraud
Blake Hall
Well, if she hasnt been a dumb bitch until the second kid was on the way, fucking let her go back to work... sure, your talking about 1-2 thousand a month for child care, but she should be making 6 figures on top of your salary, so you can afford that... dont keep her boxed in. Shit will drive anyone crazy
Andrew Peterson
My plan (possibly selfish) was to keep her at home until three kids were out and then she could return to work. I think its been driving her insane.
Charles Roberts
This is happening.
Tyler Thomas
>accountant >running up credit cards Lmao
Adam Carter
Does she work? If she earns money then she can spend it as long as she meets other family cost commitments. If she doesn't work, then she still should have some ability to spend on herself. You should take her cards away and give her an agreed allowance that she can't go above. This is budgeting, not trust. If she lies again after that, then reconsider but you're in for a lot more expensive ride if you separate and have to pay child allowance.
Aaron Richardson
I started this plan of a true budget with allowed spending before I discovered the additional 2600. We have always been loose with our money because we had too much of it with no plan, but since we have started to save for a home I out a stop to it. Or so I thought.
Jacob Garcia
Looks like it my man... she can shit out a baby and still work. Why the fuck you think you need to bring 3 people into this world is another topic all together. You worried she will run off with someone if she isn't home making you sandwiches? If so, the end result is the same, fucking divorce.. she did this cause she feels like she has no control amd did some fucked up over spending on purpose to make you see this... she did this to get your attention.. it worked.. now you need to decide to try to reconcile or cut it off..
Owen Ramirez
Yeah. Tell me about it.
Cameron Wood
Yeah. You nailed it.
Easton Davis
How could you possibly say this when you don’t know where he lives? You are a moron
Bentley Ramirez
This time it was spending to get attention. Next time it will be black cock. Before long it will be the inevitable messy divorce.
Sebastian Lewis
Sounds like she has mental issues to be honest. You guys should go see a therapist if you really are devoted to the welfare of your children. This might be your only shot. If things don’t work or after that then do what is best for the children and try to get custody
Nathaniel Long
This has been on my mind. I always saw therapy as a sign of doom and maybe it is. But maybe its worth a try. Never been.
Ryder Cooper
This is the therapy bro bro
James Jackson
I’d like to thank you bros for your time and words of wisdom. I’ll leave for now.
This sounds like a good route, but be warned: it ain't easy
Dylan Wilson
This was my life with my ex. She worked but could never, ever contribute her share of the bills. In fact, the first month she moved in, she couldn't pay her share. It never got better. It just got worse. She spent thousands and thousands of dollars on shit neither of us needed. She spend $2000 on yarn -- fucking yarn. She would buy stuff used and tell me how much money she saved. She saved so much money we couldn't pay our bills and I always had to scramble to make up the difference. Her bank account always went negative, then she would raid the joint account. I took away all her cards. She secretly applied for a credit card in my name, ran up a balance, then stole money from my personal account to pay it off. It's not likely to get better. Run. Now.
Can I steal that much money from you and you still want to fuck me, user?
Samuel Morales
Leave now , while you still can.
Connor Bell
My man credit cards be evil things. My Gf’s mum racked up 300k on one. Then when she divorced her dad he had to pay it off. Want my advice, get some iron clad financial protection contracts and any prenuptial agreement you can then divorce her before you lose everything.
Austin Garcia
Tell her divorce or atm service till all debt Is paid (The dirty kind of atm)
Christian Jones
>women
Josiah Williams
Just Get another card with 0% balance transfer, cancel the other cards, and give her a secured card with 500$ on it
Aiden Flores
Do you really love her? Well first, have a lawyer or accountant trace what she spent the money on. Make sure it wasn't spent on fucking dudes. I'm not at all implying it likely was, just that you should check what they money was spent on in general because that could be why she was hiding it.
If you're in the clear there, then she just needs a fucking therapist. She's probably just depressed about your situation doing remote work and that's her only outlet. Set her up with some fucking hobbies or friends take time off work if you need to.
It doesn't sound like it's really destroying your finances, but it does need to be nipped in the bud before she does.
Kayden James
Man I'm glad I'm seeing all this at a early age I'm only 20 and I've seen women bring down men my age down I think you should always settle down at the right time or no time for me it no time
