Re: Husband in control of finances

Maybe this should be a new thread so mods feel free to move it if appropriate but:

For all those wives happily using hubby’s credit cards, taking cash from wallet etc. have you ever thought long term in case of divorce/separation/death? I feel Housewives still need their own personal credit cards and bank accounts with loads of activity to build a good credit score and strong financial history. It happens so often that you find out husband has a lady on the side and despite having some stash of savings etc. most women are clueless about how they can leave the husband and actually start life all over again. A job might be easier to find than building an entire credit history that can help you buy your own home or even apply for a rental!

This is why I believe NO ONE should ever depend on another person to provide for them. It’s not about trust but freedom. Being self-reliant is freedom. Being able to provide for yourself and others is so much better than being provided for.

FYI, I will know before he does if and when he gets a side chick.
