My ex-wife. I worked basically 7-14’s for almost 5 years straight once. I was off maybe 2 weeks totally a year, a day or two here and there. I never looked at the bank account or tended to the bills. I thought it taking care of. Fast forward to the end of our relationship, I found a cheap project truck to buy. I looked at it that night and told the guy I’m gonna run get a few hundred out the ATM. ATM told me insufficient funds. No way I thought. I called the now ex wife and she said something wrong then. So that morning I told me boss I would be a little late I had to run the bank. I was floored when they show me my bank accounts. She would literally withdraw mine and her check the minute it hit. She hadn’t done our taxes in YEARS. I was so far behide with bills it wasn’t even funny. Just our water bill was behide almost $1000. It’s usually $30 a month. In the beginning she learned what bills I had on auto draft and made sure it was enough to cover, but later she stopped caring about that. Not long after I found out I was broke, they come to repo my truck because she’d quit paying it. I managed to get that sorted out, but learned of all the other problems I had. That night she got home, her bags were packed and waiting on the porch. I filed for divorce the next day and haven’t heard from her since. It took me a couple years to get everything lined out.
I don’t understand how people are okay with making all (or the vast majority) of the money in a family, yet let someone else manage it.
