My mother spent her entire life rescuing her sisters and her parents, and in return they would abuse her horribly. She never told the to kick rocks and her husband and children suffered for it. Nobody hurts you like family.

30:18 pointing out that maybe the 5y/o kid is autistic.. excuse me, but even with autism you can still teach your kids good manners.. excusing bad behavior with having autism gives them just all the more reason to behave badly..

[@CosticDragon]

You know a person is THE asshole when Candy Thunder gets angry.

[@izy2weird]

Story 2... are you kidding me? While she had a new baby after a c section?????? NTA. Sis needs a reality check.

[@bgarciamcclellan]

Story 3: OP’s wife totally set him up. She knew that it would look bad to her friends and thought the social pressure would force him to just say yes. I have combined finances with my husband and neither one of us would ever just say “Yes” to an offer from friends to go on a trip. Our standard answer is “let me check finances and talk to spouse about the dates etc then I’ll get back to you”. Most of my married/long time committed friends all do the same. It’s just common courtesy.

This is the best way, love. Asking my partner is not a form of his control. It's because we have shared goals as a family, and sometimes he sees the bigger picture even if I can't or vice versa.

[@Gabitronia]

Story 1: Honestly, if she's saying this is consistent behavior, I'd leave. Especially with how he seems, to not really care about his wife at all. Or the family's finances. I agree with Kandi. Is that how you spell her name?

[@andreawhite5371]

The wife asked him infront of her friends on purpose to make him look bad and force him to say yes . This is her fault 100% .

[@Elsoo93]

So for the husband who loves Doritos more than his wife I want her to divorce him. BUT I have advice for anyone other than him who also struggles with money planning. Take cash out for your weekly allowance. Cash is psychologically harder to spend because we can see the effects in our hands. The card should be reserved for emergency use and planned household expenses. Cash is your “fun money” anyway I hope this helps someone who needs it

[@JediJessR]

4:49 there is way more going on here than just this. He doesn’t want to solve this or even care. OP will have to at some point decide if she wants to continue trying to getting him to see what’s wrong or give up.

[@CH-px1fw]

Wife in debt: she should not have even asked him. She knows she’s in debt. She knows she cannot afford it. She’s playing games being manipulative. Divorce. 😂

[@sambaxter1118]

the dead wife - WOWZA - id be reporting the guy to the police for attempted breaking and entering, blackmail, coercion and anything else a lawyer can cook up

[@emilypatteson805]

You know I have heard about men not eating until every member of his family had a enough to eat, including seconds and he would eat the leftovers and then there’s this guy brozo with the no share food

[@Londynvzboutique]

Story 3 - I would have her work with national debt relief (or something similar) to work through her debt. You don't learn to stay out of debt by having it wiped clean. Her credit would suffer but there wouldn't be these sticky terms between them.

[@jessicaschneider4043]

The birthday story with the 15 year old, wow life sucks for him. That 5 year old is old enough to know what he did was wrong. He is also old enough to understand, now not only are you going to apologize, you won’t be at the next birthday party. Destroy his birthday cake and he get to see no one gives a shit, he would never pull something like that again. Cannot stand people like this, because we have to end up dealing with a 5 year old that grows up to be a 5 year old with adult powers. Scary and annoying for the rest of the world that has to encounter that awful child.

[@tinak2576]

Story 3: wow. That wife is an AH. He paid her debt off by selling his assets! She lost nothing, he did! I’d have a very hard time getting past that viper pit attack.

[@Mrs.HardKover]

Story 1: my hubs has severe ADHD (so compulsive and not a good planned) and had never reined in his spending. He’s a sweet man and we adore each other. We had to go to a cash only system for him. I only had to offer to let him be in control of the bills for him to get on board. He lost his credit card so I declined to give him another. (He has a debit card for emergencies but he know I’ll immediately see usage). We are doing better as a couple and I’m our savings.

[@icygubler]

Story 3 brings to mind two thing's Dusty has talked about before: People who try to look like they're rising by pushing others down, and people who want a handout not a hand up. OP's wife seems like both. Story 4: Blame both, honestly. His parents said they'd take responsibility, yes, but, unless we're missing something, his brother is raising this child. What is he doing to make sure that this kid isn't like this for life? OP is the only one who didn't drop the ball in this story.

[@alanamosheim-7705]

I wonder if the wife was texting John while driving.

[@josabby474]

There should be a spouse swap where the woman who’s husband was stingy with his chips after going over budget at dinner when she went hungry goes with the husband who bailed his wife out of 150k debt and the wife who got into that hole has to marry the irresponsible stingy husband.

[@sianpinnell6155]

He obviously has no idea of money and financial management . My hubby the same.. 61 and never learnt. Cos he doesn’t want to. Tbh at the hard part. He Doesn’t Want to!

[@sianpinnell6155]

She needs to be I. Co trip of the money. Hard, because he gets his own money. She needs to get an allowance from Jo. And separate accounts

[@ApatheticEyebrowRaise]

No, she retired to get alimony... and cheat.

[@Rainbowofthefallen]

[@crazycatlady2504]

First story. This guy is an asshole. Period. He knew and agreed to not spend, then he spent even more and made it to where she couldn't eat at all! Prick. This was intentional abuse. Run op!

[@heathermorrow9843]

I'm sorry but for story 2..she just as bad letting go on for so long...low contact is the only option..

[@jazzyjamster25]

First story: if you don't have the money to eat out, then don't eat out. But you do not stipulate what your husband can have( shrimp dinner, soda). You chose not to eat so get over it. As far as the freaking Doritos, that's the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Instead of eating a meal in the restaurant, you chose to be childish by not eating at all, then, pitching a fit because he asked you not to eat all the chips. You chose junk over a meal.

[@SheSheBoom21]

Are you the husband??!! 👀 😂😂😂😂😂😂
