'I inherited $400K. My boyfriend at the time thought that meant I was supposed to pay for everything.'
"My kids' dad was drinking all our money. When I was on maternity leave he decided all our money should be paid to him, which I agreed to naively at the time. He spent everything on drinks and would complain about buying anything for me and the kids."
"He didn't want to wait 6 months until his birthday when the whole process would've been cheaper and proceeded to complain about how expensive it all was. He bought a TV and computer before even putting down a deposit which he asked me for . He ended up losing the new job about a month later and was living on savings. He was always buying dumb shit he didn't need like a VR headset, but God forbid he spend $12 on a pack of batteries or six to replace his broken charging cable.
"He quit his job to pursue his 'passions' which meant sitting on his ass doing nothing, while I was still working and the only source of income. He was completely ungrateful too, expecting me to come home and cook and clean after work while he sat around all day. I was being used 100%." —"Together 11 years, sharing a bank account for 10 1/2. I thought his generosity was one of the things I loved about him and I felt we both had similar outlooks on money.
It started with him feeling like he was allowed to buy frivolous things because he made more, then holding it against me that he was “supporting” me. Three years and I realized it wasn’t because I couldn’t or wouldn’t — it was because I lost any sense of value or self-worth I had because he tore it down a bit more every day until I was a puddle.
Anyway, I got approved for a credit card in my name which would sustain us during my maternity leave. The card arrived and was activated on June 1 with a credit limit of $7K. He got a hold of it and maxed it out completely by June 28. $7K spent on chocolate bars, sodas, Google play cards, scratch tickets, iced coffees, and cigarettes. The baby wasn't due until September 8. We had nothing. I had to go back to work three weeks postpartum as a server. I'm still paying off the debt.
