Um, well, he, um, moved it to another account and, um, that, well, part of it that has higher interest and some of it went into some investments, but like not a concern cause we kind of talked about it, but it's just not the only in the last two years, not the only time that he did things and I discovered it and,

Yeah, so, like, relationally, I know what to ask of him. Like, I know, like, first you do this, this, and this, and then we can, like, work together, and, you know, I'll start trusting you after these steps.

But financially, I don't know what to ask of him, because I thought we had, like, a joint bank account, and it turns out, like, probably I don't know what a joint bank account is, and what, like, what I ask of, what should I ask of him? to be sure that money doesn't disappear like all of a sudden, that I have some.
