He Completely Cut Off His Wife From Their Finances Because She Blew $1,176 Ordering Takeout On Delivery Apps In One Month
This 41-year-old guy is currently married, but his wife, who’s 39, has a “minor disability” and does not work.
According to him, it’s not like she cannot work whatsoever. She is just constantly complaining about being uncomfortable and exhausted.
“The discussion over her working basically ended five years ago, and I have completely given up on the prospect of her ever having a job again,” he said.
So, ever since, they have both been living entirely off of his salary because his wife apparently “doesn’t even come close” to qualifying for any disability pay.
He didn’t mind supporting them both either until his wife’s spending habits started to spiral out of control.
She specifically began wasting a ton of money on takeout, ordering food around twice a week. Eventually, this turned into three times a week, and now, she orders takeout almost every single day.
“This is all despite our fridge being stocked constantly. I do the shopping, and I make sure to even keep our freezer full of things she would only have to microwave,” he detailed.
Yet, just last month, his wife blew a total of $1,176 on only food delivery apps. There were numerous days that she even ordered food twice, and upon finding out, he was furious. They simply cannot afford that.
So, this past Friday, he decided to take some drastic measures. More specifically, he withdrew all the money from their savings account, paid off their credit card, and canceled it.

Then, he removed all the money from their joint bank account and put it into his personal account, essentially cutting his wife off from their finances.
His wife only found out about this when she tried to order takeout again, and her card seemingly got declined. Afterward, she discovered the card had been canceled, and when she asked him what had happened, he bluntly claimed that she was “cut off.”
This sparked a ton of drama between them. For instance, as soon as he arrived home that night, he walked in to find his wife lying on the floor, saying that she had “low blood sugar.”
He pointed out how she could eat literally any of the groceries in their refrigerator or freezer.
During that same conversation, he also noticed that his wife had taken out the trash for the first time in around a decade. He was shocked that she even knew how to find their garbage can.
“I can only assume she was disposing of the evidence of what she ate (as she was pretending to have not eaten), but I honestly don’t care enough to dig through the garbage to find it,” he vented.
Anyway, in the wake of his wife getting cut off, she’s been livid at him. And now, he can’t help but wonder whether he was justified or went too far.
How would you feel if your spouse spent so much on takeout? Did he have a right to cut her off or not?
