OP just read through some of the thread...borderline personality disorder. Find an attorney- this guy will ruin your life. Trust me on this |
If he’s like 90% of men, it’s going to retirement accounts and college savings for your children. |
|
Ooo. Could be. And he’s lying that it’s a probation period for new better job… then will lose any job. |
He easily could be a big bully and dysfunctional at work. But the heirarchy supports it and the jr and and mid staff have to do his executive functioning. He prob knows nothing. about their personal lives or anything, just talks client stuff and makes everyone backfill his big lousy ideas. |
-day trading -affair -app-based treats that are not tangible I sort of love this development. Its great for you! Twice the child support and a documented, ongoing instance of financial deception. |
I had the same thought. Even OP was wondering if this was a way to get him off his current team. OP, disengage from any thoughts about him and get your ducks in a row re: divorce. Set up a life that you can afford on one salary bc this guy is unreliable in every sense. It will be great if you get some free time but I would mentally prepare for it all to be on your own. Drop the rope completely re: anything to do with him, you are wasting time and energy. Many items can be delivered for free on a schedule from Amazon, set it up once and stop giving mental space to tp, toothpaste and bulky pantry items. If living here on just your salary (since he may be on track to being fired/unemployed) do you have family in a lower COL area? If so, consider relocation. |
Financial and JOB PERFORMANCE problems. Plan a life where all tasks and finances fall to you, OP. If you can relocate somewhere cheaper where you have a support system, do that. I'd stop talking about chores and focus on the issue of an ADD evaluation. Cart/horse. |
I think drugs, hookers, gambling or hotels for hookups with an AP are much more likely from this guy. Come ON! |
You forgot: - 401k - 529s for both kids - IRA I don’t know what’s going on, but I hope for the best for OP and her family. |
I suspect the issue is less that he's lazy and more that he's a jerk. He's been playing incompetent and making twice what he told his wife, and also claiming to need to stay in bed. He may put up more of a fight than people think, it may not be possible to cut him off and move states without facing kidnapping charges. |
Really? It sounds to me like he is kind of a lazy homebody. All of those things require effort and a thrill seeking personality. |
When you contribute to 401k, it comes out of your paycheck off the top so that wouldnt explain his paycheck being twice what he claims. 529, IRA has some kind of explanation in the withdrawl column. Either way, it doesnt explain it. Im curious who does taxes in the family. |
OP didn’t say that she has his paycheck or tax return. She said that she left the house and dug up some financial information. If he is taking money out for savings and maybe paying for life and disability insurance policies, it would explain why only half of what he gets paid is available for regular expenses. Hopefully this is it. That means that they can use some of his money to pay for household help. I’m pretty sure that most kids would prefer to take out college loans over living in a household where parents are constantly fighting and having screaming matches about chores. |
There have been several posts @ ADD but I'm going to raise bipolar and/or some kind of personality disorder given the deception.
OP, the best solution to a divorce with someone like this is distance and relocation. Otherwise it can be an unending nightmare till the kids are out of college. Where can you and the kids go where you could have family or friends as a support network? Can you work remotely? Is your job very DC centric or do the skills transfer? Take your focus on the cards and charts and minutia and protect yourself and your kids. |
