Inept Husband Hides Finances From Wife - Til Debt Do Us Part 310 - The Mushroom Princess

[@cocofluff]

He wasn't trying to protect her, he just didn't want her to know how much of her money he was wasting on his toys. If you work why are you asking your husband if you can buy shampoo with your own money. Why do women allow men to treat them this way? This isn't love its selfishness and abuse.

Atleast that man is spending lots of time with son. he seems to be good just that he should move from inside of the house to some playground or cycle with son. Love shouldn't spoil a child rather help in good personality development of child. Trio needs family time minus doling out money......

[@chubbybunny6975]

@@suzieq390 Hiding your finances from who is supposed to be your equal partner is manipulation, whether you have good intentions or not. If you know your partner doesn't handle finances well, you don't baby them and say "you don't ever have to face the Big Scary Thing", you help them work through those anxieties and try to manage them and be an adult, especially when it comes to money. Your relationship is filled with lies at that point. And when financial disputes and discrepancies are the number 1 reason people get divorced, and the divorce rate is over 50%, you need to re-think hiding purchases and lying about where money goes.

‘she can’t buy things she needs cause I bought something I don’t need’, wow! Maybe if you stopped being a kid and started growing up and being a man then you wouldn’t be in such debt! Spending on things you don’t need but you don’t have necessities is a recipe for disaster. You don’t need 2 tvs, you don’t need to keep buying games. There are ways to have fun gaming without constantly buying them when you don’t have the money. Buying on credit when you have ‘months free no interest and no payments’ ...... people end up forgetting about it and then they find out you have ALL of the interest added on unless you paid for it before the ‘free’ time ended. Just imagine buying a living room for $6000 only to forget the time limit and now it’s $9000. Don’t spend money you don’t have. The numbers don’t lie, when he said, “inaccurate, you can’t refute when cameras are rolling”? Geez bud, you just got dropped in it, now your wife knows just how much you spend every month.

He’d been calling her with confidence for months because he knew I never looked at the phone bill (she had a different area code and this was 15 years ago when some homes still had landlines, including ours). Then I was blindsided by financial reality. We ended up divorced, I moved out of state to start a new life. Now I have no one’s financiers to worry about except my own-very liberating! I’ve learned to manage my money even with a low income and I’m surviving. I have a girlfriend who’s marriage broke up after 35 years because her husband was addicted to video games; it was like he was committing adultery except it was with a computer, he’d stay up all night playing games, drove her crazy.

I feel better about my $600/month grocery budget in 2020 now. Gail put them on a $500 month budget and this show is from 2006 😆

"He's the husband ..." And YOU make as much money as he does!

[@M-hc9xm]

Just when I thought the days of wives not knowing how much basic things cost, this couple shows up. What a toxic relationship.

[@fayezentner619]

Being away from your family I think he means being away from his video games because the only person around him is his kid his wife's not playing them

[@anetteclarke3682]

Jared just hates that his wife is in charge of the money. Yes Jared you made this mess, up to you to earn extra money. Did she really have to ask to buy shampoo and hair spray? Should have been a red flag to her. She knew what was going on, but did not wan to face it. Reason she has to shop every night for groceries is because he spending all the money. He makes me nauseous.

[@heatherheape4165]

Duche it’s not going to be overwhelming for her, you just don’t want her to know what you spend freely when she has to ask you to spend money on necessities.

[@Ron71997]

She is way too good for Jared, I agree with a lot of the comments. I believe this is an old show ...but this guy is living like he is back in the 50's...come on mate, grow up.

[@LisaCupcake]

So untrue. My mom never had to ask my dad for permission to buy stuff in the 50s. This guy is just a jerk, period, no matter what era you put him in.

[@cjhoward409]

I pay all the bills in our household, but my husband knows what all the bills are and we discuss our budget together. It’s not rocket science. No spouse should be left in the dark about the household finances. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@jet4415]

What I could say about this husband........

[@elainedeardorff9242]

“It would be overwhelming for her”...ooh for craps sake.

[@Beauty.For.Ashes.]

This episode felt rushed and I'm glad. I didn't like him.

[@vt-yp7yq]

After watching this, I believe the husband is jealous of the wife. He has managed to keep her out of interaction with him and his son. When she became involved in family activities, the entire family dynamic changed. Very interesting.

[@KRoseB]

Agreed. Very.

[@biancamontalvo1104]

Mushroom princess 💀 I love Gail.

[@ddchomeschool]

I wish $200 could buy that much out food nowadays 😂

[@elizabethmaedammann5283]

Protection vs Deception

[@Frugal_fitchic]

I wonder if they are still married?
