If your partner is a shopping addict and cannot control their addiction, it’s time that you two have a serious talk.
Recently a man posted on Reddit that he has been married to his wife for 8 years. His wife has a daughter too who is very talented. OP and his wife decided to save some money for her college fund so she could go to college debt-free. They saved almost $200k over these years. Recently, OP noticed that $170k was lost from the money. Upon inquiring, he found out that his wife has been using that money for his shopping addiction. This is where the problems started in their relationship. Scroll down for the whole story.
1. OP has been with his wife Andrea and his stepdaughter Cassie for 8 years.
3. Last week, OP found out that $170,000 were missing from the account. OP asked his wife and she told him that she has been using the money over the years to fund her habit.
10. OP told his wife that she needs to acknowledge her mistake and needs a shopaholic support group. OP told her that he will be controlling the finances from now on.
OP seems to be very concerned for his step-daughter but his wife is not concerned for her future. All she cares about is her shopping addiction and this is the right time to stop this woman from behaving like a child. She needs therapy.
13. Divorce is an option but OP loves his wife despite her mistakes.
15. OP has decided to tell Cassie the truth along with his wife. OP will record his interaction with his wife because OP does not need his wife to flip the script on him.
