Well, it happened again. I now know why my wife was not running up CC debt. It seems she dipped into money that we had agreed to put away for my DD's college fund.
I guesstimate I have to make up somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 to 24 thousand dollars. You'd think I'd be upset by all this but I am not. I guess I am sort of more hurt that she lied more than she spent the money.
I am not divorcing my wife but I am divorcing my finances from hers. We will split the bills but she'll have no access to any savings accounts of any sort. Heck, she doesn't contribute to them anyway.
She kept telling me she wanted to talk it out but I am of the opinion that any talking that needed to be done has already been done. What is there to say when trust is betrayed again and again.
6262.83 is the exact number on what I owe to pay off her CC debt. I still check the mail and she's gone over on her overdraft to the tune of 261.47. While I am concerned, she has generally paid off the overdraft in full. Now I think I know how.
My euphoria of winning a 1000 the other day is gone. I don't think I am mad or sad. I am just kind of numb. I suspect people feel this way when their spouse is on drugs or is alcoholic.
I have been an enabler for my wife. I have covered the debts for years and I am getting burned out and my health is starting to suffer.
Thank God there is no mortgage or car payments. I am so tired of struggling with this insanity. I guess divorcing our finances is the way to go at this time. Funny,I still love my DW.
Well, there you have it folks. I am officially up the creek again due to my own stupidity. Wish me luck as I'll sure as hell ned it!
DW lied to me about money again.
