She Just Found Out Her Husband Lost Over $230,000 In The Stock Market, And He’s Been Lying To Her About Money For A Long Time
Thirteen years ago, this woman began dating her husband, and they tied the knot five years ago. They’ve had their fair share of difficulties, but she thought they grew past that and have been in a great place.
Back in 2021, her husband lost over $150,000 in the stock market, and instead of calling it quits, he kept attempting to win back the money he lost, which resulted in him losing such an enormous amount of cash.
Her husband was somewhat forthcoming about how much he messed up there, and they managed to overcome that.
However, a year later, her husband kept on putting money into the stock market without telling her, resulting in another loss of around $30,000 or more.
“He borrowed money from his parents without telling me; he took money out of our accounts,” she explained.
“Honestly, the only reason I found out about it was because we were buying a house, and they needed to see all of our financial information.”
She had just gotten pregnant, and she was furious with him. She gave him an ultimatum: invest in the stock market one more time without disclosing it to her, and she would leave him.
Yesterday evening, she came across a Reddit post he made last night, and she found out that he’s kept on investing in the stock market for the last two years and hiding that from her.
Her husband’s lost $50,000 more to the stock market, and she’s sick of him lying about money, which has been going on for a long time.

They have two children and their youngest is six-weeks-old, so their marriage has been pushed to the limits with the sleep deprivation that surrounds a newborn. Adding his lies about money on top of this, and she’s at her wits’ end.
She knows this is going to come across as extremely privileged: she’s not concerned about the amount her husband has flushed down the drain since they make a lot of money. She also doesn’t need her husband’s money in order to be fine.
He earns around 3 million dollars a year, while she makes $300,000, so they can afford to take the hit, but she wishes her husband thought to save that money for the college funds they set up for their kids instead.
She’s over her husband’s dishonesty about money, and she was hoping to stay home with their kids for another year or two, but she doesn’t see how that’s feasible given she no longer trusts him with their finances.
Additionally, her husband likes to throw it in her face that he makes a crazy amount, yet any time they have an unusually high credit card bill, he says it’s her fault.
“What do I do? How do I approach this?” she wondered.
