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"...

It might be time to talk to him if it's a trust issue . . . Sorry OP

I don't really blame him for not wanting a joint bank account. I've heard a few stories of people leaving the other person with basically nothing before divorcing them.

If they got married without prenup, the money belongs to both of them anyway, so that's not always a good reason...

Why do you need a joint bank account?

YDI. How did you get married without discussing finances?

How can a woman make a man a millionaire? He was already a billionaire.

well.. its kinda hard nut to crack. try to suggest him that the resent money issues starting to effect u with something that very similar to permanent head ache that might impede ur ability to function properly in bed.( hope it will make u laugh). on ceruse note if he didn't gave u very very good reason for that(and there might be) u should start thinking if maybe u rushed to this marriage just little bit to fast and u better start working on knowing each other hard

it might be early enough to get it annulled

i agree with him. my wife and i have seperate accounts because we have 2 different salaries and independant of each other. we discussed very early on how we pay for things (I take care of house repayment and she is on my company's medical aid, she buys food/household stuff, we both pay for our own cars/insurance). Works out pretty well. We have a joint savings account, but that's a 60 day notice and needs both our signatures. Just because you are married doesn't mean you're not independent anymore.

True. You need to discuss as a couple what the best option is. The important thing is communication. My husband and I share our money to pay for anything we need, my money is his and his is mine. That works for us. Open honest communication is always a good choice in any aspect of marriage.

That's something that should have maybe been discussed before marriage. You don't get married then start learning about the person

Definitely missed an important talk before the wedding. I find a joint account convenient, we just discuss big purchases before we make them. Having at least one joint account is a good idea to make moving money around 10x easier. More importantly than joint accounts is knowing a partners financial situation and sharing responsibility.

just because you're married now doesn't mean his stuff is now "ours". When will women realize that?
