I need advice....

I'm not going to leave him, I just need to figure out how to even talk to him and how to start trusting him again. We're talking tonight....

 

I need advice...sorry this may be long:(
My husband and I have been married a little over 5 months now. When we were together he had a house in a different school disctrict and we had made the decision before getting married to rent out his house and move into my apartment so my then 5 year old could stay at her school. Since then, we moved to a diffferent apartment, (still in the school system), and I thought all was fine. This morning I was looking for our payment booklet for our car, and found court papers and letters from the bank and such. His house had been foreclosed on and has already been sold in a sheriffs auction. He has not said one word to me. He told me he had been collecting the rent each month and paying on the mortage. I texted him and said I just wanted to touch base about the house while i was going through bills and redoing our budget. He said everything was fine, he was getting rent and paying the mortage. I told him I knew he had been moving things out of there that he had in storage, and wanted to know why. I specifically asked

 

 

Re: I need advice....

  • You need to separate what's left of your money ASAP.  He is lying about your money.  You are currently one financial entity.  You need to call a lawyer immediately and find out what can be done.  If you get an annulment, you might be able to save your credit and money from him.
  • Well, you married a lying liar who lies. So, if you arent going to leave him good luck to you and all of his future lies.

    He has lied about the house, about the money, about the foreclosure, his bank account, paying a mortgage that doesnt exist, and after you gave him the opportunity to come clean he STILL lied.

    You should go to counseling and figure out why you think that you deserve such a liar.


  •  Im assuming you have separate bank accounts and therefore never saw the lack of rent and/or mortgage payments.

    This would be a deal breaker for me, he has lied, consistently on a daily basis, even if his lies are not verbal, he has allowed you to believe that rent was coming in and mortgage was going out. He did not tell you about the foreclosure, something which is going to effect your credit, he did not tell you about the auction and when given the chance to come clean, he lied again.

    If its not a deal breaker for you, thats your business but at the very least I would get individual therapy to see why you believe you deserve so little in a marriage.

     

    Good luck

    "Not going to leave him"?

    Might I ask why running like hell is NOT your one and only option?

    Fact of the matter is there is no house at all.

    He SUCKS.

    Since then, we moved to a different apartment, (still in the school system), and I thought all was fine. This morning I was looking for our payment booklet for our car, and found court papers and letters from the bank and such.

    So much for viewing your SO/wife as a partner and so much for honesty.

    He told me he had been collecting the rent each month and paying on the mortgage. I texted him and said I just wanted to touch base about the house while i was going through bills and redoing our budget. He said everything was fine, he was getting rent and paying the mortage. I told him I knew he had been moving things out of there that he had in storage, and wanted to know why. I specifically asked

     Really?

    He wanted to know you you asked?

    How about you ask why he kept this a secret from you.

     

    Something is dreadfully wrong here.

    Run like hell.

    Trust?

    There is none..

    You need to leave him because he lied, he is not dependable, his character is zero and you entered into a fraudulent marriage

    He can show you solid proof what happened to that house and do it in 2 minutes from now but the fact is he's a pig who didn't come clean about the house.

    Separate your assets, take the money that is yours and leave this pig, posthaste -- do so tomorrow and file for an annullment.

    Do not look back.

    Therapy would be a great idea for you --- as somebody said, you need to find out why you are accepting such a piece of shit for a husband. You deserve a lot more than him.

    Protect your assets and make sure he cannot get his hands on any money or assets that is yours. Pack up your daughter and get out of there tomorrow.
  • You don't start trusting him again. You stop trusting him altogether.

    This is a huge deal, and you have to think about your future and your daughter's future! What if he loses his job and lies to you for months about going to work, and the next thing you know all of your belongings are being repossessed and you're on the line for huge debts?

    I agree with the others that you should get out now. But if you absolutely refuse to leave, be absolutely sure that you maintain separate finances. Go to a lawyer immediately and ensure that all of your assets are protected in the event that he becomes financially insolvent. You cannot trust him, and you have to guard yourself and your daughter. Frankly, that's not a great way to live, but if you insist on staying with him, it's what you need to do for your daughter's sake.

  • You and he are one financial entity.

    Why isn't his banking information coming to your home?

    Mission accomplished. With what the OP found, this bum did it in one fell swoop.

    The above sentence should really read, "You don't start trusting him again; that cannot happen since he destroyed whatever trust you had for him."

    He has proven himself to be undependable.

    Do you trust this guy to be a father figure and to show your daughter how dependable people can be?

    So sorry for your troubles. This is too bad and horrible.
  • I'm not jumping on the leave him bandwagon just yet, though it's on the back burner for sure.  I would confront him and ask him why he lied.  That would be my step one.  I don't have any children though.  You have more than just yourself to think about in this situation.  And you have to think about what would be best for your child.  I agree with the other posters that this is not a good environment for your daughter to grow up in if this is the path he's going to choose.  This is a big lie.  This is a lie that affects both your finances and potentially your future together.

    That's where I would start.  But I would also caution you to think about the other things that he might be lying about.  Where does all his money go?
