I can’t do breaks in relationships. I just don’t trust it like why do you need a break when we could just break things off? I personally feel like it’s an easy way to test the grass on the other side to see if it’s greener. If it is, they won’t come back. If it’s not, they’ll come back like the space was just what they needed.
My wife hid $30,000 from me for four years.
I found it by accident. Filing taxes, digging through her old laptop bag for a receipt. A savings account statement, printed, folded into eighths like she didn’t want it to breathe.
$30,412. Under her maiden name.
We almost lost the house in 2022. I remember the phone calls. The extension we begged the bank for. Her at the kitchen table at 11 p.m. with a calculator and that face she gets when she’s doing math she doesn’t like.
And the whole time, she had thirty grand.
