She Just Found Out That The Man She’s About To Marry Has $100,000 In Credit Card Debt That He Kept Hidden From Her
A woman is currently engaged and getting married in just a couple of days (20, to be exact), and she suddenly found out about a big secret that her fiancé has been hiding from her.
She ended up finding out about this secret when she discovered an email pointing out that her fiancé’s credit card had been declined.
She saw this email while her fiancé was in the bathroom, so she decided to open up that email and investigate.
The email laid out that his credit card limit was $9,000 on that card, and he had already reached the limit.
She looked at the number, thinking that it was a big amount of debt to have racked up on just one single credit card.
She knew she had to investigate this further, so she did. “I’ve been trying to figure out how to find more info and today one of his credit card statements came in the mail,” she explained.
This was for another credit card, and it said on this statement that he was over the $23,000 limit on that card.
“I just ended up running a credit report on him and found out he has about $100k in credit card debt,” she said.
“…I had no idea it was this bad. There’s literally no explanation for this amount of debt. He also has a personal loan which I’m assuming he used to pay off another credit card somewhere.”

“The only good news is that his credit score is awesome and he’s not missed any payments on all this debt (silver lining).”
She and her fiancé do have a 10-month-old child together, so it’s not in the cards for her to simply up and leave him behind.
Also, she is in love with him, so she has no interest in leaving him over his secret debt that she discovered.
“I know he’s probably feeling ashamed or embarrassed and he obviously has a problem that I would love to help him with,” she continued.
“I just know that if I confess to snooping, he’ll be extremely defensive and it won’t be productive.”
She needs to confront him about his debt before she meets him at the altar; she’s just struggling with the best way to address this with him.
How do you think she can bring this up without him getting upset?
