GlisteningGliderMy Husband Turned Me Into His Personal ATM—Now I’m Drowning in Debt 😡
We’ve been married five years, and somehow, I’m the one left with $20k in debt while my husband acts like he’s the victim. We agreed I’d use my credit cards for our shared expenses and he’d pay me back his half every month. Guess what? He never did. Now my credit score is in the gutter, and he still expects me to Venmo him my share the second we split a bill. I work two jobs and do most of the cleaning, but he shrugs off my frustration like it’s nothing. I’ve tried talking to him, but he just doesn’t get how much this debt is crushing me. How do I let go of this resentment when he doesn’t even care? Or am I just supposed to keep smiling while my bank account cries? 😤💸 What would you do if you were in my shoes? #FinancialConflict #MarriageStruggles #DebtProblems #RomanticRelationships

Freeze the credit cards so no new charges can be made. Have separate bank accounts and tell him that he has yo live off of his income.

I spent 32 years of marriage to a man that if he had nickel in his pocket, he spent it twice. We rock and rolled from one $$ crisis after another. The ONLY Cure is divorce. You have married a parasite. After the divorce of 32 year marriage, I got another parasite, Divorced after 6 years. I am now single, I am avoiding Any More Parasites. Clearly, I make poor choices, I no longer " play the game." Effect? Credit rating of 824. No screaming about laundry/ Dishes/ Lawn mowing/ trash/ mystery bill surprises. Life has never been so good.

ow! he definitely conned you.
he is abusing you. he is using you.
he is NOT a partner at all, he is not loving at all.
i am sorry he has done this to you.
and, sadly, he will never change. he will only get worse and worse.
please leave now and rebuild your life. he will never change.

Open your eyes and realize you're being used and abused! Close all joint bank accounts and his access to credit cards. No more splitting the bills until he pays you back in full. Definitely time to reassess the marriage.👍

sorry I can't help you. you don't pay back your half, and you left me stuck paying off my credit cards, and you can stop playing the injured party.
