She Went To Stay With Her Mom And Told Her Husband He Needed To Get His Act Together Because He Quit His Job A Year Ago, And She’s Been Covering All Their Expenses Ever Since
This 30-year-old woman has been married for one year, but her husband, who is also 30, quit his job not long after they tied the knot. Apparently, he just did not like the work he was doing.
Yet, her husband did not really pull back his spending after losing their second source of income.
Instead, he actually purchased an expensive TV on an equated monthly installment (EMI) without even asking her first.
Not to mention, right before their wedding, he made her take out a personal loan to fund the purchase of other items he wanted.
“Since then, I have been paying rent and all the EMIs and have been loaning out some money for his personal expenses,” she revealed.
Now, her husband has landed two other positions since quitting his former job. But neither of them has worked out.
The first job was located in a different city, which prevented her husband from really saving any money.
Then, the second job was in their city– which was perfect– but her husband actually got fired about a week ago.
So, for a second time, she is stuck with all of their expenses, in addition to the purchase of a very expensive sofa that her husband bought for his parents on EMI without consulting her again.

Their financial situation has left her feeling seriously anxious and suffocated, too. That’s why she finally stood up for herself recently.
“I declared that I will no longer pay for anything as I am drained managing every single expense for the last year,” she said.
She also told the owner of their house that they would be vacating the premises this month.
Well, rather than trying to understand the amount of stress she has been under, her husband just got angry and claimed that they couldn’t find another rental on such short notice.
In other words, he essentially implied that she needed to keep paying all of their bills until he found another job.
She’s had it, though, so she finally told her husband that she was done. Then, she was honest and claimed that they just could not stay together until her husband got his act together.
Afterward, she went to stay at her mom’s home and told her in-laws about what happened.
Still, her in-laws are pretty upset with her because she didn’t “amicably” deal with the issue with her husband.
But honestly, she just doesn’t care. She’s tried to have various discussions with her husband about their financial situation, yet he still kept making stupid financial decisions that left her in a tough place.
“I am not sure if he will get another job anytime soon, and I don’t want to take up any more burdens,” she vented.
“I told him that it’s not his mistake for losing his job, but being in debt was his choice.”
Regardless, her husband accused her of leaving him just because he became jobless. So now, she’s wondering whether giving up the financial responsibility during her husband’s time of need really made her a jerk or not.
How would you feel if you got left with so many expenses due to your spouse’s bad decisions? Did she do the right thing by finally putting her foot down? How would you have handled this situation?
