I don’t mean to be overly dramatic, but this reminds me of the veterinarian that killed a cop around Bay St Louis.


I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought the same thing.

Has the wife ever had a psyciatric assessment? If she's not on drugs, she seems to be having a manic episode or psychotic break.

And the symptoms (minus the cash withdrawals) have been evident for about 7-8mos now…the ATM stuff started like two weeks ago


So maybe she picked up doing drugs a couple weeks ago but i don’t think it’s been for the past 7-8mos
any chance she was accessing smaller amounts of money from other places prior? Cash withdrawal on top of grocery/store costs? Savings? Other ways you may have not noticed until the amounts got bigger and she started just directly taking them out of the account? Drug use/money needed increases over time.

Person I know had a huge life event that was valid for a breakdown so that is why no one suspected drugs. Also she went to extensive rehab/rhey are still married.

Any chance y’all can get a babysitter and just have a night just you two?

She’s your wife. Put fault, blame, details, etc, in the future. Connect with her, empathize with her, let her know you’re on her side. She’ll bring you into her inner circle and you’ll figure out what to do. Stop trying to fix and have all the common sense answers. Just listen. Give her a teammate when she’s feeling like she’s all alone in a sea of people.

After following all of this and from her behavior it does sound like she’s having some mental break. If she won’t voluntarily seek treatment then you need to force the issue to protect your children from her and her from herself. Even if she isn’t doing anything but freaking out now in her state she could go downhill real fast and get into God knows what.

If her family can’t help convince her pursue what you have to legally ASAP. Worse case scenario is she hates you forever and gets a divorce….which is what you’re looking at anyway if she goes untreated.

Hide the car titles.

A lawyer can give you advice to try protect you, your assets, and the best interests of the kids but the lawyer isn’t going to be able to solve your wife’s mental health.

It sounds like she’s hiding that cash away as an emergency fund for whatever reason. Hopefully, the money can be recovered when she is stabilized. Best of luck.

I’d call the police and tell them she’s not mentally well. She’s already been arrested for domestic violence, and she’s doing drugs with your youngest child

How did you bury this shite in this thread? This has got to be the number 1 issue


exactly...the seeming lack of concern about the child is odd, at best...if this story was actually true, any normal person would have involved law enforcement to remove the child from any possible danger...

I agree with this.

Non working females will easily switch ideologies to victomhood. However all relationships are 50/50. If she’s living in a hotel, a foot is out the door. Take care of your finances and kids.

I was around a good friend who became Schizophrenic and his actions were very similar to some you are describing.

She’s doing shite like this on top of BITING YOU and some are suggesting you need a date night? Yikes.

How old are your kids? Please keep them safe. People going through whatever’s happening with her can do really bad things. I’m so sorry you’re in this situation.

This has to be a troll. If not my friend. Your wife is 110% banging someone and either 1. Giving Jody the money
2. Doing drugs
3. Both

I’m going with 3 and she’s already left you but sticking around for the daily pay days. Go get a lawyer and protect yourself. This is a complete train wreck. I feel
Sorry for you truly and hate what you’re about to go through.

(Also noted…I don’t think she is doing drugs or illicit stuff- idk the cash money - i think it’s the mental health stuff)




Bruh c'mon I know you don't want to think that but as somebody that's been down this road I can also guarantee you she can't pass a piss test either

Have you not had contact with the child she has with her at the hotel? I would get that child home immediately, whatever it takes.

It seems like you're hoping for a positive resolution but based on what I've read, that seems unlikely, you need to start being proactive with protecting you and your family. Sorry this is all happening to you

Bro shes either doing

1-Drugs
2-Gambling problem
3-fricking male prostitutes
4-Just hoarding money till she divorces you

If im you im cancelling every credit card yall have and putting a freeze on your credit report.

Transfer as much money as you can to your new account.

You have any retirement accounts? Better lock those accounts.

And get a Lawyer at 8:00 monday morning.

People don’t become schizophrenic in their 40’s. Schizophrenia manifests in late teens to early 20’s. I’m not saying she’s not mentally ill, but it isn’t schizophrenia if it’s just starting at this age.

Great point - a divorce would just be a legal separation for me but i think have to deal w/ this for 14 more years.

To be honest, I’m not going to divorce because of all this/ i just want a healthy me- healthy her and healthy family


Does she have a 4 year old with her in the hotel? While she is delusional and paranoid? If so it's time for you to stop fricking around with "I just want a healthy us" wishful thinking. Your child is in serious danger.

Also, it's curious how you keep responding to many posts in the thread, but not to any of the 20 different posts telling you to get a lawyer ASAP.

Hotels don't even want to accept debit cards. You need a credit card. I don't think any reputable hotel is taking cash.



I use my debit card at every hotel i stay at. And i probably use to stay 50 nites a year in hotels until Covid hit. Now its about 20-30 nites a year.

Does she have a gambling problem? Is her hotel attached to a casino? Can you cancel her credit cards (and check how much she owes on them and to whom.)



Think this dude lives around Pensacola. Closest casino is about 2-3 hrs away in Mississippi gulf coast
