      Then Miss FinFree Fin, you are a very lucky lady that has become a life long comment of a good decision on this very risky business called, "Marriage." I, too, has led a married life with a disconnected mate. Let, me see, how many ways that I can let you know, I'mmmmmmmm not connecting, and that I will put you thru this Sh......t that I will dish out! You, the caller, trying to whisper from up stairs?? Is this not your house too? I finally got rid of that bum, and he did die, facing four years imprisonment with his prost. girlfriend. I do think that this show is going to say, either combine or leave. But, I'll see what they both say. Heidi, don't worry, everything will turn out, you've got the best team on your side. 😎😎

She's now on the phone with them asking for advice. So you whisper. Makes sense to me. She'll talk to him later about it if they gave her good talking points.

    “I don’t want my husband to hear” really hit me hard. I’m coming out of a divorce where honestly this woman’s comment are exactly what I went through. The difference is I am male and I was in a marriage being manipulated and lied to longer. I hope this helps many people see the signs before it’s too late. If you find yourself saying “I’m not the person I used to be” get help. If you can’t combine and discuss finances get help. If your spouse does not want you in their finances they are likely cheating or are going to. Get help. Life is so much better on the other side and you can be that person you were once proud to be.

      My Dad did that for us. He was an Engineer and his position was to travel and negotiate purchases of equipment for machines at his company. It felt like he travel 85% of the year. He filled it with family trips merged with business trips and most weekends. We knew he loved us (it showed in how hard he was going for us) but emotionally he just wasn’t present to fill us girls as much as we need to navigate life healthily and it took a mental and emotional toll on my mom.
      He took a position that allowed him to work close to home when we were preteens/teen time. It was a pay cut initially but eventually he changed ranks and rose in income. I appreciate him for all of the sacrifices he made for us. He made not have gotten it all right and we’re not rich but we never wanted for anything (seemingly) and he financed retirement for him and my mom and still have enough to pass a substantial amount of money to his kids and grandkids as a gift after he’s no longer here. He’s been and always will be out rock.

      Same here. My therapist helped me understand and face the truth I already knew but I was so confused and terrified I couldn't make sense of it.
      "Crazy-making" is real and Dave obviously understands this. He knows how important it is to tell someone they're not crazy off the bat, bc we're told by our abusive spouse constantly that we're crazy and stupid, and then they make sure we look absolutely nuts when friends and family are around- so we get to hear it from them too, especially when we try to get help from them and tell them what's really going on.

      What got to me was the whole idea that they could cut down and pay it off, from her own mouth. He's not at home more often than not. His side of the financials can't really be cut. He's got meals on the road, stops along the way, fuel, maybe the truck payment depending on the set up. There's very few ways for him to cheap out. She's the one at home. She can cut down on the electric bill, the grocery bill, the water bill, fuel for her car. She can shuffle the childcare around to cut expenses. She can pick up side gigs and overtime much easier than he can. She has all the power to make the real day to day financial changes for the family. In that same vein, she's the one who will bear the actual brunt of cutting down expenses. He won't, not in the same way. So yeah I can totally see her looking at an upgrade of a few thousand and saying, why not? It'll be my problem so it should be my decision. Not a very marriage mindset but I don't blame her with a baby about to pop and my partner in the wind, even if for all the right reasons.

We have both progressed in our income over the years and now she is making even more than me. Between this show and learning from her. We are dept free and have a house we both love.

      That is always true, but frequently irrelevant. We get the story we get and we have to make up our minds based on that. It is like if your therapist asked to check with your relatives if your story "checks out". This view might be influenced by Dr. Phil, who is fixated on "the truth" and on the very unreliable "science" of lie detection. A story has to be enough for us, only the judicial system gets to demand the other side.

      @@antiantipodano it doesn’t, that’s bs. Therapists are not the same as audience members, they are there to provide viable coping mechanisms for the client and utilize the clients perspective as a lens to visualize how best to do that. For therapists, the client’s perception is their reality. Dr. Phil is not a therapist, he went to school for forensic psychology. His show isn’t him acting as a therapist which is why he is mutually communicative with guests whereas a therapist would let the client primarily speak. Dr Phil’s whole show is about problem solving. A huge part of problem solving contentious relationships , which most of his guests have, is to get down to the nitty gritty, bring both perspectives to the table, and sort between truth and lie. Therapists aren’t typically bridge building, they are solving an individualized mental health problem. How does that correlate to Dr.Phil who typically tries to keep families together &/or repair the broken relationship🤔🤷🏽‍♀️ we as audience members of Dave’s show aren’t doing any of that🙄 we are here as bystanders to be entertained or apply these lessons to our own life.
      These are real ppl and many of us can relate or know someone who can. May of us have had ppl mischaracterize a situation to ruin our relationship and evade accountability which is why we are open to hearing the other side. There are also cultural issues such as society coddling women while shaming men, society believing all women are innocent and do nothing wrong, and society telling men they are GUILTY until proven innocent when a woman accuses them of something that he truly didn’t do. Situations like Amber Herd & Johnny Deep, Chris Brown & Rihanna, & Jonah Hill & his ex have caused skepticism among us. Women tried to ruin all those men while lying, being evasive, &/or failing to take ownership of their own abuse.🤷🏽‍♀️ I am over being told we can never question anything a woman says bc she is infallible. You are free to believe only one side if you want, this rhetoric is what bit Lizzo in the butt and now she wants ppl to believe her even though she had your same mindset where ppl should only believe the side of the story they’ve been given and never dare to inquire for more information or free-think. You can’t have your cake & eat it too so think about how you would feel in that situation.

    I remember the beginning of my relationship with my girlfriend. I didn't know couples had separate finances. It just didn't make sense. We were very young when we met, so we had hypothetical marriage conversations early. She said she'd never tie finances because that's what her parents did, and it always worked for them. I disagreed harshly. Shortly after her parents divorced (for a great many reasons other than finances), she changed her tune and now she's even talking about being a SAHM. I wouldn't have it any other way. After love, money is the most important thing in a marriage, and how can you have a marriage when you didn't even share part 2 of the recipe.

    I'm so glad that they did a follow up with the over the road truck driver with the pregnant wife.
    When I was 24 I had an older divorced girlfriend tell me, "You're at the age where you're going to start meeting and dating divorced men. Don't ever forget that there are always at least two sides to every story."
    That advice served me well sometimes. I was thinking of that as I listened to the first part of that phone call.
    Now to the part where he says when the woman has held her breath for however long...when she's done, she's done.
    I held my breath for 6 years and didn't know I was holding my breath.
    But when I woke up and realized all I'd been doing is holding my breath and trying to survive without having any tools or knowing what it took to change the circumstances, I just had to get out. I couldn't take the lying and the cheating, the stalking.
    I was drowning and the only way I knew how to fix it was to get as far away from it as possible.
    At that point he decided we needed marriage counseling but the only marriage counseling he would go to are the ones that agreed with him anybody who disagreed with him or came close to recognizing what the problems were, were deemed nuts.
    I wish I would have had a Dave Ramsey back then. 😢

    I really appreciate making my way back to your channel. The world is still going through some scary things, but I really need to focus on what I can do to make myself mentally/physically/financially better.

    Yea, she maybe didn’t go about it right but she is feeling overwhelmed seriously! It’s only $5,000 more and I think she keep it, she it. She needs help. Talk about what happened, sure, but give her a break and let her have the van. Ok, now we know he left the family, so we don’t care about him at all. He is a fail. He is a dud. I hope she gets a tough attorney and takes him to the cleaners, AND keeps the van.

    Marriage counselor? That’s a very bad idea to send an abuser with their spouse to a marriage counselor. It just teaches them to finesse on how to abuse. She needs a divorce lawyer. She needs to File a restraining order, get him out of the house legally and change the locks. Get a divorce.
