Today, I confronted my husband over the fact that despite me working two jobs to support us for the last three years, we're nowhere near our goal of buying a house. He actually had the brass balls to defend pissing my money down the drain on his ceramic cat collection. FML

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML

Today, I found out my husband hasn't paid the mortgage in 3 months. We have a joint account, but it has always been his job to pay the bills. We are in the process of selling our house, and when I asked him about it he said, "Why are you stressing? We're selling anyways." FML

Today, after spending money on all the furniture and decor in our apartment, paying rent every month from my bank account, paying for all the groceries, and paying for all the dog supplies, my fiance asked why I don't keep saving thousands of dollars every month, while he pays for none of it. FML

Today, my wife always wants to spend on big items, like a new pool or home renovations; I want to save for our future. At 45 years of age, we are in heavy debt and I have no other assets as a backup. I should have stood up to her from the beginning. FML

Downward spiral

Today, my soon-to-be-ex husband raised the bar. He sold our former marital home and put the money into a college fund for MY nieces. Now he looks great to my family, he already has a new place to live (thanks to his rich parents), and I’m stuck living with a college friend. FML

Checks and balances

Today, I found out my husband has racked up $3000 on our credit cards, and ruined my credit score. When confronted, all he had to say was, "Well you didn't tell me when you bought that ten-dollar t-shirt, so I guess we're even." FML

Today, my husband is sulking because I wouldn't let him do what he's always wanted to do: throw our cat out the second floor window to see if she would land safely and on all fours. FML

Today, I gave my husband an expensive watch. The first words out of his mouth were, "You didn't use our joint bank account for this, right?" He then asked if I still had the receipt. FML

Sounds like you need a new man or need to deny him access to the funds. I personally vote new man.

Pattipan - I think you need to *take your own advice* and RUN. Love is not a good enough reason to spend your life in debt, with someone so selfish that they get you into MORE debt to "spite" you for questioning their unessecary and idiotic expensive purchases. That's not the act of someone who loves you. Leave NOW and take your money with you. OP - WHY does this MORON have any access to the bank account with your wages in it? Close your account, move it to another one, DO NOT give him access to it or allow a situation to arise where he can gain access to it in any way. Cut up any credit cards he is using to buy this cack. If he wants to buy ceramic cats, he should be man enough to get off his arse and WORK for the money to pay for them. And sorry people but even most disabled people can work if they have the use of their hands and brain function . If this guy can get out and about to buy ceramic cats, or he can use a keyboard to type and buy them online, then he is capable of SOME variety of chair based work if he is not mobile. If he IS mobile, he has NO excuse and OP - seriously you do not have to put up with this knobbery. Sell the cats.
