Unhappy with marriage of 30 years
Relationship Stress / by limegreenCircle8296

...See more My wife has become increasingly untrustworthy in the matter of money. It has caused us huge problems and she still takes little responsibility or lies. Teenagers when we married neither of us had good money management skills. I was busy working to support our family and neglected to pay attention for too long. I would question knowing we made enough money to not be behind constantly as we always were. Any credit was always at maximum, unpaid or late. When my kids got older she opened a credit card in my daughter’s name. This was explained by saying she didn’t know how it happened and it was not correct and a lot oh anger. I worry that I only enable her as I never hold her accountable in order to keep peace. These types of issues continued until a major event. She was caught embezzling $60k from her employer. She again didn’t take responsibility blaming a mental break and her bad relationship with her father as the reason. She did do intensive out patient counseling. Once this was complete she felt justified in her actions. I don’t think she ever told them about the theft. This is when regardless of the confrontation I took over finances. Last few years have still been challenging. Always a reason she needs more than allowance or “accidentally charges a fee on a credit card” I have changed all of my cards so many times. These are just the cliff notes. Typing this all out I see that my in ability to hold her accountable is the bigger issue here.
