Husband too me off life insurance

[Anonymous]

The purpose of life insurance is to provide for dependents who would be financially devastated in the event of a death. That is not you, OP, or even your kids, really. Why does your husband even have life insurance in the first place?

So take him off your life insurance.

+1

And it seems OP isn't going to get the big payout she was expecting. Sad.

So what exactly is the issue here? You admit that you prioritized your career over your ill husband. What did you think would happen?

Yikes! That’s cold, op.

Since OP is working hard at a demanding job, she is well-paid and does not need a life insurance payout, right? So no reason to feel all butthurt about it.

For many people life insurance is a major component of the inheritance they will leave to surviving spouse or adult children. Rich folks might not understand this, but then y’all understand very little about the lives of truly hardworking people.

This is pretty flippant for not supporting your spouse during a life threatening disease. You should stop worrying about the life insurance and realize he's getting his ducks in a row to leave you.

If I got cancer after our kids were out of the house and my DH's response to asking why he didn't fully support me was "ohhhh, sorry, I was busy at work, what did you expect from me?" I'd 100% bounce after I recovered. No point living out the rest of your life with someone who can't step up when needed. You're shocked that you're off the policy? He's shocked that you're a selfish and bad person.

Yes indeed.

I'm sorry "if" I wasn't there enough . . . you're still at IF when his actions say NO YOU WEREN'T?

What did it mean to "be there" for him during cancer, OP? In what ways were you not there? Couldn't drive him to appointments? Couldn't be his shoulder to cry on?

I removed my wife as beneficiary and never told her. She's now an ex-wife.

Because snake oil salesmen are still out there. So many better ways to use that same money they are paying monthly as an inheritance.

Plus OP is employed with a demanding job. Typically easy access to cheaper life insurance.

OP he is done with you. Which you know.

Then take him off yours. You do have your own, right?

Sounds like he just told you he’s going to file for divorce. Hope that demanding job was worth it.

I would get a divorce.

She was helping support the family. Give her a break. Marriage is a financial partnership by law; not an emotional one.
