She Married Her Husband Four Days Ago, But She’s Ready To Leave Him After Discovering He Lied To Her About Money
Six years ago, this 32-year-old woman began dating her 34-year-old husband, and they have two children together.
At the start of their relationship, her husband lied to her several times about money, which is a big deal in her book.
She was able to forgive her husband, and they built a wonderful life together. Over the years, finances, family, and life in general consumed their time, so their wedding plans never materialized.
But on Friday, October 25th, they finally tied the knot. After being married to her husband for four days, she’s ready to walk away from him for good.
“I’m leaving the man I loved, respected, and trusted with my whole heart for 6 years because he betrayed me in what feels like the worst possible way for me,” she admitted.
On Saturday, October 26th, she and her husband planned to have a wedding lunch to celebrate with all of their loved ones.
She’s been saving her money to afford this, and her husband was supposed to be saving his cash, too.
They each had to come up with $5,000, but as their wedding day approached, her husband admitted he was $1,000 short.
She gave him the cash, as they had suppliers they needed to pay. She waited around for her husband to fork over the additional $4,000 he said he had saved, but then he said he was having problems with his bank and couldn’t access the money.

On Friday, their actual wedding day, he promised her that he had the cash and he would give it to her that night or early on Saturday morning at the latest.
“Saturday morning comes, and I’m running last-minute errands to get everything (including our kids) ready for what I believed was OUR special day,” she explained.
“He calls to ask me to transfer $2,000 to him because he needed to pay for a few things that were on his list to purchase. I ask, why would I send this if you already have the money and all you have to do is use your card? Reader, he did not have the money.”
Every single day throughout the week leading up to their wedding day, she double-checked with her husband and asked him if he had saved up that money, and he reassured her that he had.
So, he lied to her face in a huge way, and not only is she disappointed, she’s disgusted with her husband.
She can’t help but feel foolish now that she’s legally tied to him, a liar. He had plenty of time to tell her the truth, but he didn’t.
“Instead, he continued to lie and break my trust despite knowing that the consequence would be me leaving because I’ve told him before I will not be lied to anymore,” she added.
“I’m sure anyone reading this might feel like I’m overreacting. This is still new to me, too. But I cannot envision a future anymore with someone who lies to me when we could’ve worked together and helped each other in a way I feel that partners do.”
“I’m just screaming into the void because I have no one else to discuss this with. But it still hurts, especially now that I know I have to leave.”
