But the thing that I'm wary of is that she can see what I'm doing, but I can't see what she's doing.

Yeah, she has access to my account.

Because it was a joint account. Close it. I'm just like, she basically wants to continue paying down our debts. Well, that's her problem.

That's what I'm hoping and praying for. We're both in counseling. We're seeing the same counselor but separate. There was an affair on not my part, but I'm still willing to work through this. But I think the issue is our income is a lot lower

different because i have a lot of chronic health issues so i don't make as much so the amount of debt that i have i can't cover by myself um so that that's why she's was okay with like hey if you need money we can like work as a team to get everything paid well i mean you can send her a list of the bills that she needs to help you pay but that doesn't mean you have to have combined checking accounts okay

Well, I do have to say the affair was emotional, and it's kind of on the back burner, and he's going back to his wife. So I think that's burning out.
The Ramsey Show

Yeah, because I think what it's like is since I'm self-employed, one part of our – we had like one big account, but we had like checking, saving, saving, savings for like my taxes, medical. um, housing and she divided all of that up. So I don't even have everything that I need for to pay the tax, the tax bill that I have coming up.

So would it be, do you think I should sit down and just say, Hey, what exactly?

And there's about $20,000 set aside for we're saving up for a home. $10,000 of that came from her boss.

Because since we don't have kids, she was kind of wanting to push towards just doing a disillusion if it gets to that.
The Ramsey Show

Well, you're right, because I did speak to a divorce attorney in my family who advised me to do that. Yes. Check my rights, and it sounds like going that route would be more expensive for her because she makes so much more money than me, and she's got a 401k. Okay.

Hey, Dave. Thanks for taking my call. Sure. It's an honor to speak to you. You too. I have a question. Try to get through this. About five weeks ago, my wife out of nowhere said she wanted to separate. Came out of nowhere. Our marriage definitely had its ups and downs. We've always worked through it. Some other things I found out, but...

Um, we're living apart right now and about two weeks into this, she split up the finances completely without even telling me. Um, so my question is, how do I best navigate this through the separation? Since we do, we are still legally and biblically married. Um, how do we navigate handling finances right now?
