A guy I work with finally had enough with his wife’s inability to stop spending. Over the last year, he’s changed jobs 3 times to earn more money to stay ahead of her habits, but each time, she just rachetted it up even more. He doesn’t like debt, at all, and is trying to finish his degree, paying his way as he goes, so this drives him nuts. He can’t get ahead or work on his goals, because she spends everything. He finally ended the marriage, because she just would not change and would not work with him to get it under control. They have 3 kids; oldest is 3. Very sad.
That is a very sad and heartbreaking story. I wish I would never have to hear that story again, but I fear that it will continue to be a theme.....
It’s obviously on her head here, but he also bears fault. He didn’t know this behavior pattern 4 years ago before bringing THREE children into the world? And yet he has 3 tiny children with someone that he has left and I’ll bet he left his children with her. Neither one of these two are a prize.
