My Husband Is Very Irresponsible With Money And Now Wants My Inheritance r/Relationships

[@golden_leader9227]

The thing that disgusted me the most is that he willingly chose his children's BIRTH to wreck havoc with their finances and leave them homeless while gaslighting OP. He purposely spent every single penny and make even more debt while his wife was in the hospital, in labor and with their newborn infants! It's things like this that make me feel sick. He's a monster. AND she's a bit of an idiot. She had to divorce him yesterday.

[@tiggrainmagma8716]

Yeah I had heard this story before but this the first time I had heard an update of this story. You're it seems that his bike nonsense with the finances happened when his wife was pregnant and in some cases incapacitated, cause it seem all her pregnancies were hard especially the deliveries. It's almost like he got her pregnant on purpose, cause it let him commit financial incompetence when she was most vulnerable. He's absolute trash. After the first time we went homeless I would have been on those books like nobodies business. I'm glad she's taking steps to get her and her kids out of this mess for good. I would demand full custody cause this manchild destroyed his family's finances and security one to many times. I would give all evidence of his duplicity and misuse of the family finances over the years. Also how he trying to spend your inheritance on himself and how he doesn't seem to care about his childrens future, and that they need to work stuff while he thinks he has the right to squander his wife's money on himself. He gives money he shouldn't to his family to look good for them and to look like big shot. When Op divorces move far away from this leech who proves time and time again he's no father let alone husband material. Get that house, only u on the title, have the money properly invested/in a trust for the kids. Also make sure he gets nothing and can't touch a dime if anything happens to u.

[@MrJpaynebb]

@@tiggrainmagma8716 she got a sterilization procedure done and he isn't aware of it. Somewhere deep in her she knew he was financially abusive which is why she hasn't told him about that piece of information yet. Glad she finally is seeing through the fog and taking steps to get back control of her life and her kids.

[@robertx8020]

IF she still hasn't divorced him by now, I would say NOW she is the AH!

[@inabruzzowithme7877]

I think he did it on purpose at times where she was ill and creating some expenses (pregnancy) because one he could hide it among the healthcare expenses and two because she was distracted and felt guilty. I wouldn't blame the victim for this considering that after having lots of hard pregnancies (she kind of mentioned them in passing, but also she had miscarriages, those can be essentially all losses comparable to losing an actual child if you wanted the babies, so she was grieving a lot, after having a hard time with pregnancies) and then her mother passed but was super ill at first. You gotta hand it to the dude, he's super good at being stealthy and manipulative and it doesn't take much to bamboozle a grieving person who is ill and trusts you.

I'd have more sympathy for the husband if it was because of something like getting hurt on the job and not being able to work. Or one of the kids needed to go to the ER and the family didn't have insurance. Those are things that sadly happen and can royally fuck up anyone in America. But from what OP posts it hasn't been because of things like that.

I didnt think story 1 could get worse but realizing that part of why OP's husband got away with it so long was because OP was mentally/physivally/emotionally preoccupied by her DYING MOTHER sure makes everything so, so much worse

Story one - always boggles my mind when people's excuses for putting their partners and children in bad situations is to 'take care of family'... like they don't count their marriage and children as family to take care of.

[@photofreak56]

as my grandfather once told an 8-year-old me "As my father told me I'll tell you. Don't be a shit man Annabel. Always remember when you've got kids of your own, a house, and a job that those kids' needs come before any wants you may have. There ain't no shame in needing a little extra help if it means keeping your kids happy and safe" He always seemed to want me to know not to be a shit man despite me being a cis female.

I've enjoyed the displeasure of sitting next to a few! Once I boarded a 757 with my family. I was in C, they were in DEF. Another family of four boarded later with BC in the row in front of me and AB in my row. The EW told me that I had to move to the middle seat one row up so she could sit with her children because she had so little respect for her husband that she couldn't bear the thought of a kid sitting with daddy instead of her. When I refused, she proceeded to try making the flight miserable for me. Fortunately, she was so pathetic that all she did was entertain me!

Well it's not martial money. She have the lawyers who are handling her mom's estate help her keep him away and probably tie it up until the divorce which she's lining up. She need to ask for full custody, and hand the lawyers proof of his financial fraudulent behavior. The judge isn't going to be happy about how this man used getting his wife pregnant as a way to hide how he stole from his family, time and time again. He's selfish, entitled, vile, a crap father, and husband. He can't have any custody, cause he'll try and use those kids as a pawn to get money out of her.

1. I'd have probably divorced my husband long before making us homeless for a second time. My husband was a very selfless person, and one time, before kids, he actually tried to give someone the last of our money because he thought they needed it more than we did. I put my foot down on that one and he never did it again. For the husband to be supporting his family to the detriment of his own is unforgiveable in my book. 2. Karen played around and found out didn't she? 3. What a sweet story. OP and her husband sound very much in love. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to cook and feed people.

This entire post, she should read it back to herself 3 times because the mess of a husband she has that could care less about her or their children.. He almost left them homeless 3 times should have been the deal breaker!! I don't see this marriage lasting until he decides to change and understand how to be responsible with money... He can literally take food out the mouth of his own children yet she's asking if she's TA.. She will be unless she leaves...

[@kathydurow6814]

Wonder how many times his own parents & family were homeless? My guess is that he has been raised with a spend it while you've got it attitude, not a put money away for a rainy day/future benefits attitude. Still doesn't excuse waiting until wife is incapacitated to blow through money and blame it on hospital bills. But some of this is a family culture/class thing. This is one of the reasons why you get to know someone's family before you get married! Also why you need to be on the same page re finances, actually discuss before moving in together/marriage.

I can make suggestions on what to do with it but at the end of the day this is your choice."

As an aside, kids are not responsible for their parents debts. If your husbands parents die, and they have unpaid debts, your husband is not responsible for paying those debts. Any debtors can go after the estate, so any assets that the parents have will be used to pay out debtors first, and if there is anything left after all debts have been paid, that will be divided based upon their will. However, if there is any debt remaining after the estate has been liquidated to pay the debtors, then it will just be unpaid debt. Your husband will not be responsible for paying off his parents debts. No debtors will be able to go after him, unless he has co-signed or has his name anywhere on his parents debt (which it doesn’t sound like).

Did she not *talk to him* about finances while they dated? Did she think it wouldn't be a problem because she'd always be in charge and could trust him not to do anything behind her back? *Despite* how open he and his parents are about not caring to save *anything?* I feel for her, sure, but *why don't people THINK* before marrying?

That's the part where I feel like she is an idiot but still the husband is the main problem here. And she let his lies fool her three times too... OP is an absolute doormat and needs to grow a spine not for her sake, but her 4 childrens sake! Or she will just keep finding new abusive partners in the future and this same shit is gonna keep happening. But also why birth 4 children when you keep going homeless??? Why OP what were you thinking?! She shares that part of the blame for letting this situation go on for this long putting her children at risk.

Third story is so wholesome it brings a smile to my face!

[@MissDeniseR]

Mum's cooking, what a lovely act of love you have for your husband.

[@Gothchops]

Aww that last story was so sweet. Acts of true kindness brings so much joy all round 💖 💗

[@Andrea.S.Alvey12]

Last story: I hope Op's mother in law offers copies of hubby's favourite recipes, or that Op asks for them. I'm slowly putting together recipes my sons have grown up enjoying. I've also gifted them each (2 sons) copies of the cookbook I use the most. Many recipes I use as listed, but some I have altered. Op's husband's expression and thoughts come through the story so clearly! 💝💝

[@rowdysgirlalways]

Dude! Your Dad passed away not that long ago, you're still mourning and will be for the rest of your life. You miss your Dad and your Mom. I miss both of mine and it's been12 years. It's good to remember them and to talk about them, they were major parts of your life, very important people, especially as they were good parents. Besides, I love hearing your stories too, they remind me of my folks and the adventures we had. It's a beautiful, loving thing!

[@disneydork100]

That last story was just so wholesome!!!

[@onurkneezb]

story 1: not even 2 minutes in OP is already TA for tolerating that nonesense for as long as she did.

[@lies3577]

Last story - I love all your stories, but this one really made me smile. After all that misery and assholes and entitlement (which I dig too, to be honest), a happy story is very welcome too!

[@keepdancingmaria]

3 times homeless because of him??? How do you stay together past 1 time homeless because of him? Bankrupt me once, shame on you. Bankrupt me twice, shame on me. Bankrupt me thrice... Da FUCK???? is wrong with me?

[@Weirdandwonderfull19]

I love the last story, especially the update! 🖤🖤💜💜

[@pattyslater514]

Thanks so much for that itty bitty story at the end. So much so that this Canadian was so captivated by OP's story and her husband's reaction that I just had to look up what is Haleem. Well, I'll be heading out for some ingredients to make said dish cuz, gosh golly damn that sure sounds ridiculously delicious!!! Thankfully, there's an India/Asian grocery store not five minutes from me. LOL Thanks for helping with family meal prep @MarkNarrations 😉😄

[@devchekhov7512]

Story 1: OP's tolerance for the intolerable is just...no

[@MrBiggeryu]

Every thanksgiving my mom makes rolls because her grandma did it it’s not as good says her family but the not the same without it. Love the last story 😄

[@gcarr1089]

Story 1 - OP needs the inheritance protected, and then divorce husband as he has no love or respect for OP and their kids. He will accumulate debt expecting OP to pay it off, she needs to stay strong and show him she won't, and never ever give in or he will keep doing it until he takes every penny.

[@holnrew]

I teared up at the last one too, so lovely

[@owl7072]

Story 1: "When our children are adults, they'll have to work for what they want" says the person banking on someone's _death_ in order to fund his lifestyle. Make a separate bank account, put the inheritance in there, and make him live by his own fucking sentiment of working for what he wants while you actually help your children _like a parent should_ and if he has a problem with that then he can _leave._

[@jerriewyatt905]

Story 1.. OP’s children should come before this irresponsible idiot.. put the money in trust funds for the kids.. and put the rest in account he can’t touch..If his spending has caused the family to be homeless.. she should definitely leave him..

[@BlueSkyBS]

Story 1: This guy is way past Captain Marinara and gone all the way to Rear Admiral. Story 2: The plane has to take off when it has to take off. There is a schedule for a reason. So its always an easy decision for the crew and airline to ditch the problem passengers, permanently if need be.

[@msredux]

He has a history to sabotaging our budget and leave us homeless 3 time, omg jfc why do women do this to themselves? Do they think they wont find anyone better?

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Maybe. Some people do tend to settle for a bad relationship, either because they're scared of being alone or because it's comfortable. I've yet to have a boyfriend, much less a husband but I do feel that hitting rock bottom, ie making us homeless would be a dealbreaker for me, even if I still loved him. I mean if you can't be responsible with money, then you shouldn't be given any of it.

[@dawndoe11]

He did it while she was in the hospital, recovering from birth, and since she was busy healing/dealing with a baby, she didn't look too closely and thought it was due to the hospital bills (which is kind of understandable, US hospital bills are awful). Plus she'd been preoccupied with her mother's sickness/death. OP's husband probably hid this facet until he felt he had OP trapped, and did his best to gaslight her each time.

[@S730SD]

Story 1: It's a major relief to know that OP is planning to ditch that p.o.s. More's the pity it didn't happen long before.

[@maxinemyers9215]

What a wonderful story 💙Thank you Mark💐
