      This call briefly reminds me of the movie Acrimony (without the crime/drama). Just the plot where the guy pursued his dreams and barely scrapes enough to pay utilities while the wife works two jobs and is struggling.) I would love to hear Dave’s rant about that aspect in the movie.

    She didn't realize when they said their vows-love, honor, cherish- they were both promising to him. By her tone, she fully understands this since, and is trying to keep it, them, together. I'm worried about her because this was my life for 30 years. He had his own separate bank accounts and our joint account. And then he left the marriage when he had better options for himself- walked in the door one day and told me to "leave as soon as possible so that I can feel moved on" one month before our 30th anniversary. I was mid-50s suddenly without a home, a job, my kid & friends (I had to move across the country), no savings, retirement, and I had believed (stupidly) that we'd grow old together. I was in $10,000+ in debt because I had been using cc in my name only to pay our expenses for years while he jumped low paying jobs (i think they were? i have no idea actually) constantly. No one knew I was supporting us, that we were in debt, as he spent his time on his "real" life- a band. She does need to reach out to a pastor and Godly friends. asap. Will be praying for them both.

    He either thinks she's too stupid (or scared) to notice he's getting a free ride, or he's hiding money from her. She's just woken up to the idea of handling finances in a more mature way, but is realizing she's gonna have to poke a sleeping dog with a stick. Could be good for their marriage, but her nervous laughter tells me she's more afraid it will destabilize a lot of things.

      Sherry Ellesson I have run my own business’s and will tell you after 13 yrs if you have to put that much money back into a business then that business is not viable and he needs to wind it up and get a job. My feeling is he is actually earning a lot more than he tells her and stashing money.If you are in a marriage both partners should be fully aware of each other’s financial affairs and if your not then you don’t have a true marriage.

    There is actually a word for what her husband has but it isn't a 'business'. What he has is a 'hobby'. I have met plenty of self-proclaimed entrepreneurs who rave about their passion and how they 'get paid to do what they love'; yet when you look at their income and compare it to their expenses and amount of time the spend 'working for themselves', then factor in that they get no paid vacation, no retirement plan, no Dental or Health insurance.....But you are a Monster when pointing out that they are making out substantially worse off than minimum wage.
