It is always good to have things as open as possible in a marriage. We want to have our own personal space, of course, but we also want to be open and honest to keep the marriage going.
There are times, however, when one of the marriage partners may step outside of the boundaries. That is what happened in the following story and the husband really went too far.
After spending some $160,000 of his wife’s savings, he actually tried to blame it on her. What would she do? Read this story to find out more.
I had been dreaming of moving to a new house for a very long time, and I was already so close to making it come true. Most of the money set aside was mine, but my husband handled our bank accounts.
And then, one fine day, like a lightning strike, I found out that ALL OF OUR SAVINGS had been spent behind my back! For what?! A COLLECTION OF BASEBALL CARDS. I was crushed! Instead of apologizing, I got this, “I’m sick of your constant interference! You’re why we can never enjoy anything.”
I left the home in tears. My hands were shaking, and my heart was in pain. But in that agony, I realized how I would teach him a lesson! The next day, I called my lawyer.
First, I froze all our joint accounts and separated my finances completely. I didn’t want him to squander another penny of my hard-earned money. Then, I hired a private investigator to dig deeper into my husband’s financial dealings. What I found out was infuriating—he had been secretly selling off assets and valuables, all while hiding money in separate accounts. He had even taken out a loan in my name!
Armed with this information, I meticulously planned my revenge. I gathered every piece of evidence, documented every transaction, and compiled a detailed report. Then, I filed for divorce. But I didn’t stop there.
I knew his precious baseball card collection meant everything to him, so I decided to hit him where it hurt the most. I contacted the most reputable auction houses and arranged to have the entire collection appraised. Once the value was confirmed, I put the collection up for auction. Every single card, every last piece of memorabilia, was listed for sale.
My husband was served divorce papers the same day he found out his collection was being auctioned off. The look on his face was priceless—shock, anger, and disbelief all rolled into one. “How could you do this to me?” he shouted.
“I could ask you the same thing,” I replied calmly. “How could you spend all our savings without even consulting me? This is the consequence of your actions.”
The auction was a huge success, and the proceeds were substantial. With the money from the sale, I not only recouped our lost savings but also had enough left over to start a new life. I bought a beautiful house in a serene neighborhood, far away from the toxic environment my husband had created.
My husband tried to contest the divorce and the sale of his collection, but the evidence of his financial deceit was overwhelming. The court ruled in my favor, and he was left with nothing but the bitter realization of what his actions had cost him.
As I settled into my new home, I felt a sense of peace and empowerment. I had taken control of my life and finances, and I had taught my husband a lesson he would never forget. Revenge, they say, is a dish best served cold. And in this case, it was as satisfying as it was necessary.
