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

You ignorant, small-minded cow! If you'd done a little research, you'd have seen investments in ceramic cats have outperformed the NASDAQ and the S&P, but not quite as well as gold. Ceramic cats with gold trim are close, though. You may have been scrabbling for a shitty, little cottage, but he's been angling to get you into a modest castle.

Ha! Ya know. Investing in ceramic cats may be better than investing in the stock market. But alas, banks are still safest, even with the reach-around fees we deal with.

With a bank, you can't make money -- you can't even keep up with inflation. I am intrigued that your bank provides reach-around service. Do you get to choose who gives you the reach around?

Who does that research? Moron! I think she has more important things to worry about than being "McGoogle"

You're an idiot OP sorry. Why would you be supporting him like that if he's such an asshole? Last time I checked, marriage was about two people putting in an effort. You should've dumped him long ago.
