[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't see how someone who makes less than 1 million dollars a year (and thats at the min) can afford to support another person entirely.  By the time you pay for all your cars, your house, your retirement, your wife and childrens needs, your vacations, etc to have enough left over for a.) to support someone entirely b.) without your wife realizing another 70k or so net is gone seems so unlikely.

My husband makes about $1M.  I am sure he does not have a mistress that he supports and we have a very happy marriage, but to answer this question, I do not pay close enough attention to our finances that I would notice if $70K or so was "missing." I am the one who goes through the mail and opens the bank statements and credit card bills, but I don't really look at them.  When you have a lot of money, it is easy not to pay attention to the details.  I would not have realized this before having a high HHI.  When I was young and poor, I knew where every penny of my money was. [/quote]

I had an affair similar to OP's. The man I was with controlled the money entirely and the wife had no idea he was spending upwards of $70k on an affair with a 20 year old while she was put on a tight leash financially. She had no idea how much was coming in or going out. It is certainly possible to hide that much and more if your income and spouse's involvement in your finances allow it.[/quote]
