Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband just told me that he no longer loves me but keeps me around to handle his finances. FML
Today, my husband suggested we get divorced, "for tax purposes". FML
Today, my husband of 30 years told me that he thought we should 'just be friends'. FML
Today, my husband got paid. I checked our bank account and was shocked to see we'd only received $300. I called him, insisting that there was some mistake. He said he'd started a new bank account in his name so he could manage our money on his own, and the $300 was my "allowance". I now want a divorce. FML
Today, my wife said she wants a divorce. Three days ago, I added her onto the title to my house, my bank accounts, and my business. FML
Today, I told my husband I wanted a divorce. He told me he didn't. End of discussion. FML
Today, my husband said he wouldn't be talking to me for weeks, because I didn't buy him weed. Yeah, I paid all the bills and the rent this month. FML
Today, my husband of 12 years announced that he wants a divorce and that he hadn't liked me in YEARS. FML
Today, I found out my husband of one year has been renting his old batchelor's apartment in secret, because he is unsure if he wants to stay married to me, and we are broke. FML
Today, my husband finally admitted that he squandered the last three months of my share of the rent on booze. He then blamed me, demanded more money, asked for a divorce, and stormed out. When he returned he asked, "How am I the bad guy?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I bet you didn't 'bank' on that when you said "I Do"...

How rude

Could be cultural, where I am from joint accounts is not a thing a couple has. Elsewhere it is pretty common.

Ummmm... Did you two talk at all before getting hitched? This should have been worked out loooong before.

My wife and I got around that issue by just adding our names to each others account. She still has hers I still have mine. Only go into each other's account if necessary.

This is how me and my wife are. And we share a savings account. Works out great for when i'm busy and need her to do something with my account or vice verse. You get the independence and are still considered one.

Here is a useful tip for anyone else in OPs position... A joint bank account does not need to be where both of you put everything you have into one account. Instead, you can each maintain separate accounts, then have a third joint account that you each contribute what you want. It can be an even split or not.. you just both put in some recurring amount every month. This way you have a joint account for joint expenses and personal accounts for personal expenses. Then there is no accusation of "spending all of the other person's money".

Is marrying a 12 year old legal? Seems like you have one as a husband...

This is a little off-topic, but British (English) men seem to be callous and distant and hella cynical about emotional bonds in the family structure. Of course I'm going by FML mainly, but my cousins have some English hubbies and I don't like their vibes. I also see it on british sitcoms and shows. Could absolutely be a misconception and I don't mean to offend anyone.

Something is suspicious...

Never get a joint bank account. In the event that you do speedster it's harder for courts to say who's who's and who deserves what and such. Plus having your accounts linked together can make it hard on your credit for both of you. That's one thing my mom told me that was actually useful from her experiences with 2 divorces to not get a joint account. Me and DH have been together 7 years and we still don't have one. Never even talked about one either.
