I don’t understand how you could be that in the dark about your situation if your credit cards are literally being declined. Was the husband telling her everything was just peachy and she believed him without investigating on her own? What a sad and bizarre situation.
To me, it seems as though she believed she had married into money---lots of money.Based on what? i don't know. Their social circles? the appearance of success? I mean, house in the hamptons=money, right? NY real estate? All of this, to me, proved she's an effortlessly dumb woman who lacked the minimal intelligence to add two and two together. On the other hand, the dynamics of this marriage could be politely described as weird, as it appears the couple seemingly never discussed finances.One side assumed (wrongly) and lived as though they had $600M in the bank and the other side seemed to be dead set on maintaining the lifestyle of someone who has $600M in the bank.It should be noted that,
even with $600M in the bank, this kind of profligate spending without a constant influx of sky-high would've inevitably led to financial disaster. At some point she ought to have known things weren't so rosy anymore for several reasons:
-The downsizing to a $47,000/month rental which in itself is so impossibly ridiculous
-The rental of high-end furniture
-The repossessed boat
However, as i noted above the dynamic of this marriage in regards to their finances was strange, he may have well told her all is well and peachy in their 'kingdom' and, ever the hyper materialistic wife, it was all music to her ears. Even before the outbreak of covid-19, one would've been hard pressed to find one or two successful projects that you could put under this guy's belt. His dad passed away in 2016 and, immediately thereafter, problems started.Covid-19 just put an end to the charade. He was never a successful, he just ran a ponzi scheme of sorts.
