Then Miss FinFree Fin, you are a very lucky lady that has become a life long comment of a good decision on this very risky business called, "Marriage." I, too, has led a married life with a disconnected mate. Let, me see, how many ways that I can let you know, I'mmmmmmmm not connecting, and that I will put you thru this Sh......t that I will dish out! You, the caller, trying to whisper from up stairs?? Is this not your house too? I finally got rid of that bum, and he did die, facing four years imprisonment with his prost. girlfriend. I do think that this show is going to say, either combine or leave. But, I'll see what they both say. Heidi, don't worry, everything will turn out, you've got the best team on your side. 😎😎

My Dad did that for us. He was an Engineer and his position was to travel and negotiate purchases of equipment for machines at his company. It felt like he travel 85% of the year. He filled it with family trips merged with business trips and most weekends. We knew he loved us (it showed in how hard he was going for us) but emotionally he just wasn’t present to fill us girls as much as we need to navigate life healthily and it took a mental and emotional toll on my mom. He took a position that allowed him to work close to home when we were preteens/teen time. It was a pay cut initially but eventually he changed ranks and rose in income. I appreciate him for all of the sacrifices he made for us. He made not have gotten it all right and we’re not rich but we never wanted for anything (seemingly) and he financed retirement for him and my mom and still have enough to pass a substantial amount of money to his kids and grandkids as a gift after he’s no longer here. He’s been and always will be out rock.

I got involved with a gal who had $150,000 debt. I have zero debt. Her denial, not her debt, and refusal to change her habits ended the relationship. Being in debt is always salvageable as long as you are willing to face it as a team

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

Oh boy I feel you! My lasz relationship basically broke over this. He did not want to admit to himself that being behind when it comes to paying taxes means YOU HAVE TAX DEBT and those are areal debts! On top his family was financially in such a toxic way entwined I just can't.. He and his bigger brother got a house "gifted" by their dad. That house was basically a 2 family home so it was connected to the parents house with a floor connecting the 2 (and those doors never being locked between the 2 homes...). In return he and the brother had to "support back" the retired father who made the downpaiment of 150k so 75k per son you can say. The "support back" money included a "feel well payment" for the car he was able to basically lease from his dads sidebusiness (he'd buy a car at a time, my ex was allowed to drive it till he'd cell it for a profit, gas included) that they'd estimate to be around 300$ out of 1500$ a month that he would pay the dad for the car and the house downpayment. But it was not considered paying off the downpayment so it would basically go on indefinately, while also paying the mortage of course additionally to that. The conversation came up as we spoke about plans of moving together. In the end I was "the bad guy" cause we talked about different scenarios. I wasn't willing to move in woth them (obviously, and he also never asked me to as he could see how that would be uncomfortable for me), but he also didn't want to actually sell "his house" cause then the brother couldn't afford it and would be forced to rent again 😱. I even mentioned paying off his dad actually all at once together as the dad apprently relied on that money and therefore wanted to have a say in our plans and I wasn't willing to be put in a position of an adult child when planing my future in my 30's with a man 😂 Long story short: I was the devil who "wanted to tear the family apart" for pointing out what a mess it is and that they literally could never afford that house to begin with and that it's an unhealthy co-dependancy and wanting to dind solutions.. So glad I am now with an SO that is on the same page as me financially and also when it comes to dealing with family

I disagree, my ex wife stopped complaining and left me one day. Few months later she came back wanting us to rectify after SHE walked out of our built life together. She finally offered me marriage, having a baby etc. I figured if she was willing to leave out of no where in the past what would stop her from doing it again. We dated 8 years. Both Mutually Waited on kids because of the cost. Proposed 3 times in the 8 year span. NEVER CHEATED. Good men learn your worth. Don’t give people discounts on how poorly they treat you. Also, look in the mirror often.

[@CharlesMyers-b5q]

Right. However many men interpret "the shutdown" as weakness. The truth is the fortress just slammed the gates, fill the most, and " maned" the towers. Full scale war and destruction follows. Some men even will blame her lawyer, friends, or family because he cannot conceive that she is the commander of the fortress. Remember he thought she was weak. So many dupes.

“I don’t want my husband to hear” really hit me hard. I’m coming out of a divorce where honestly this woman’s comment are exactly what I went through. The difference is I am male and I was in a marriage being manipulated and lied to longer. I hope this helps many people see the signs before it’s too late. If you find yourself saying “I’m not the person I used to be” get help. If you can’t combine and discuss finances get help. If your spouse does not want you in their finances they are likely cheating or are going to. Get help. Life is so much better on the other side and you can be that person you were once proud to be.

Same here. My therapist helped me understand and face the truth I already knew but I was so confused and terrified I couldn't make sense of it. "Crazy-making" is real and Dave obviously understands this. He knows how important it is to tell someone they're not crazy off the bat, bc we're told by our abusive spouse constantly that we're crazy and stupid, and then they make sure we look absolutely nuts when friends and family are around- so we get to hear it from them too, especially when we try to get help from them and tell them what's really going on.

YES! Marriage was so hard on me. He changed a year into marriage and pushed hard to solely take over the rent and some bills . Then when I finally said he could pay the rent, he made sure to say if I made him mad, didn’t agree with him on something, or didn’t clean enough I would be kicked out on the street with no where to live. Keep in mind everything in the apartment was what I had prior to marriage. He always was screaming, angry, slamming doors, throwing things, breaking expensive items I had from years ago speakers, tv’s etc. just so he could use fear to keep me in line. The church just told me I needed to be more obedient to my husband and never make him mad so he wouldn’t feel the need to act out towards me. I kept trying to find my part in how to take accountability for my own actions and focus less on his. He would continue to scream and spit at me while I laid in bed motionless staring at the wall. I made sure to just keep quiet and not react. One night I just prayed to God asking if he could please still love me if I left my husband and I escaped the apartment that night and left all my things and started over with nothing. Marriage was total hell. The financial aspect was hard too and what saved me was the stash of cash I had in my car after someone from the domestic abuse hotline asked me to start saving. She was a lifesaver. Now I always try to keep cash stashed from my PTSD. I’m terrified of marriage now. A Christian marriage was not like how I was taught it was supposed to be. ☠️ The court granted my freedom with divorce ❤

That sounds so traumatic! I'm so sorry you went through that! Your ex-husband was not a christian man. A true christian husband sacrifices everything to take care of and put his wife 1st. I'm praying you can find forgiveness, not for him but for you. That you can find healing and freedom. Then when you are ready you can find a real christian man who will love you like Christ loved the church and will give himself up for you. And you won't make him pay for what your ex did to you. Prayers and Hugs.

"I was thinking a van. She was thinking an SUV." She deals with the kids alone, practically 24/7, and he wanted to tell her what kind of vehicle she needed. That's why she went behind his back.

[@mugglecatful]

What got to me was the whole idea that they could cut down and pay it off, from her own mouth. He's not at home more often than not. His side of the financials can't really be cut. He's got meals on the road, stops along the way, fuel, maybe the truck payment depending on the set up. There's very few ways for him to cheap out. She's the one at home. She can cut down on the electric bill, the grocery bill, the water bill, fuel for her car. She can shuffle the childcare around to cut expenses. She can pick up side gigs and overtime much easier than he can. She has all the power to make the real day to day financial changes for the family. In that same vein, she's the one who will bear the actual brunt of cutting down expenses. He won't, not in the same way. So yeah I can totally see her looking at an upgrade of a few thousand and saying, why not? It'll be my problem so it should be my decision. Not a very marriage mindset but I don't blame her with a baby about to pop and my partner in the wind, even if for all the right reasons.

At this point I'm worried who will help take care of her toddler while she's in the delivery room, since the truck driver already moved out and dumped all the responsibilities of kids on her.

[@ObeyDaqSwaqq]

@@antiantipodano it doesn’t, that’s bs. Therapists are not the same as audience members, they are there to provide viable coping mechanisms for the client and utilize the clients perspective as a lens to visualize how best to do that. For therapists, the client’s perception is their reality. Dr. Phil is not a therapist, he went to school for forensic psychology. His show isn’t him acting as a therapist which is why he is mutually communicative with guests whereas a therapist would let the client primarily speak. Dr Phil’s whole show is about problem solving. A huge part of problem solving contentious relationships , which most of his guests have, is to get down to the nitty gritty, bring both perspectives to the table, and sort between truth and lie. Therapists aren’t typically bridge building, they are solving an individualized mental health problem. How does that correlate to Dr.Phil who typically tries to keep families together &/or repair the broken relationship🤔🤷🏽‍♀️ we as audience members of Dave’s show aren’t doing any of that🙄 we are here as bystanders to be entertained or apply these lessons to our own life. These are real ppl and many of us can relate or know someone who can. May of us have had ppl mischaracterize a situation to ruin our relationship and evade accountability which is why we are open to hearing the other side. There are also cultural issues such as society coddling women while shaming men, society believing all women are innocent and do nothing wrong, and society telling men they are GUILTY until proven innocent when a woman accuses them of something that he truly didn’t do. Situations like Amber Herd & Johnny Deep, Chris Brown & Rihanna, & Jonah Hill & his ex have caused skepticism among us. Women tried to ruin all those men while lying, being evasive, &/or failing to take ownership of their own abuse.🤷🏽‍♀️ I am over being told we can never question anything a woman says bc she is infallible. You are free to believe only one side if you want, this rhetoric is what bit Lizzo in the butt and now she wants ppl to believe her even though she had your same mindset where ppl should only believe the side of the story they’ve been given and never dare to inquire for more information or free-think. You can’t have your cake & eat it too so think about how you would feel in that situation.

[@SonofaB__ssnessowner]

I remember the beginning of my relationship with my girlfriend. I didn't know couples had separate finances. It just didn't make sense. We were very young when we met, so we had hypothetical marriage conversations early. She said she'd never tie finances because that's what her parents did, and it always worked for them. I disagreed harshly. Shortly after her parents divorced (for a great many reasons other than finances), she changed her tune and now she's even talking about being a SAHM. I wouldn't have it any other way. After love, money is the most important thing in a marriage, and how can you have a marriage when you didn't even share part 2 of the recipe.

[@miss_sunshine25]

I'm so glad that they did a follow up with the over the road truck driver with the pregnant wife. When I was 24 I had an older divorced girlfriend tell me, "You're at the age where you're going to start meeting and dating divorced men. Don't ever forget that there are always at least two sides to every story." That advice served me well sometimes. I was thinking of that as I listened to the first part of that phone call. Now to the part where he says when the woman has held her breath for however long...when she's done, she's done. I held my breath for 6 years and didn't know I was holding my breath. But when I woke up and realized all I'd been doing is holding my breath and trying to survive without having any tools or knowing what it took to change the circumstances, I just had to get out. I couldn't take the lying and the cheating, the stalking. I was drowning and the only way I knew how to fix it was to get as far away from it as possible. At that point he decided we needed marriage counseling but the only marriage counseling he would go to are the ones that agreed with him anybody who disagreed with him or came close to recognizing what the problems were, were deemed nuts. I wish I would have had a Dave Ramsey back then. 😢

If a man packs all his stuff and LEAVES you before a baby comes, he no longer has a say! Period. 1) he said no to every car you suggested. 2) He LEFT. How do you expect anyone to respect your voice or opinion if you leave? No woman should listen to a man who leaves her 9 days before a baby comes. The best thing she did was get herself a vehicle she needed because if her half-husband can’t handle business she as a mother is expected to do so- in front of Child and Family Services she is responsible for the wellbeing of the children and not the father.

Go childless. Why ? Because... 1. There are enough people in the world and it is polluted, crowded and unstable. 2. Kids don't have a warranty. If you have a "defective unit" , you may be stuck with that kid the rest of your life. 3. When your kid turns 14, she may become an alcoholic or drug addict no matter how great a parent you are. 4. It costs maybe 400K to bring a kid to maturity. Own a series of Corvettes instead.
