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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Honestly, it's overrated. My husband and I have been married almost five years and have never wanted or needed a joint account. We manage our finances just fine without it.

I don't think there would be anything wrong with having a single joint account for bills. Then you each could keep a personal account for personal use. Some people just don't want to have a joint account. My husband and I have one account but I know many people with multiple accounts.

That sucks. Should have been something you discussed before you got married though :(

My first husband cleaned out our account. My husband now didn't bat an eye when I told him no to one. We have a shared savings that our bills come out of and that's it. We work hard for our money so we do whatever we like with it as long as our needs are met first. If either of us needs wxtra we transfer back and forth. Much better system. So many people are way too good at lying. Having a joint account just leaves you open to be screwed over if the new spouse was able to hide money issues before. He probably went too far in saying he didn't want to be married anymore so FYL on that but if you were unreasonable and pushy about it then YDI.

Shouldn't you have discussed finances BEFORE marriage? Most couples I know get a joint back account before marriage. For joint bills, like rent, water, electricity, etc. Or you could have one joint account and two personal accounts

I feel like those types of things should be discussed BEFORE you get married..
