Hi, I have a serious trust issue with my (M29) wife (F27).
Basically, she is a stay at home mom to our one kid. I gave her $80K to invest because she was interested in creating a personal retirement portfolio. She immediately gave all the money away to her friends, family, scammers, etc and lied about it until the story quit making sense.
My central issue here is the trickle truth that I got. She told me everything, she promised that was it. The next day, more layers were revealed. Eventually, the loss started at just 20k, then 45k, then 80k.
And finally, she also had a secret loan made as an attempt to cover it all up. Literally, she has said to me ‘I swear to god, that is the whole truth, there is nothing else’… and 24 hours later, it turned out to be another lie. Some of my friends also knew about this and the lies, said nothing to me.
I just don’t trust her anymore, about anything. What can I do?
Here are what netizens think:
- It sounds like you shouldn’t trust her. The problem was that you used to trust her, now that problem is solved.
- She is financially depriving you and your child because of her expenses. I’m sure that’s a very good reason to leave her, at least temporarily.
- It sounds like she is a gambling addict. Playing the stock market in an active way has a lot of similarities. Also she risked more to try to recoup her losses and now she’s asking for more.
- I’m not sure where you are but see if there is a problem gambling program. Try to see if that might apply. A number of folks who do things like day trading also have gambling issues.
- $80,000 is a massive sum of money. If you guys had already picked out the account it was supposed to go into, it’s incredibly disturbing that she didn’t simply put the entire amount in that account.
