Discovering that your spouse has stolen your money can be a devastating and confusing experience. Perhaps you don’t know how much money they took or what they spent it on, and you may feel betrayed and violated. However, it’s important to remain calm and approach the situation with a level head. Here are a few steps you can take to address the issue:
1. Gather Evidence
Before you confront your spouse, take the time to gather evidence of their wrongdoing. This could involve looking through bank statements, credit card bills, and other financial records to determine how much money is missing and where it went. Having concrete proof will make it easier to confront your spouse and discuss the situation.
2. Have a Conversation
Once you’ve gathered evidence, sit down with your spouse and have an honest conversation about what happened. It’s important to approach the conversation in a non-confrontational way, assuming that your spouse may not have intentionally intended to steal from you. Ask them to explain what happened, how they plan to rectify the situation, and what actions they’ll take to prevent it from happening again in the future.
3. Find a Solution
It’s crucial to work towards finding a solution that works for both parties involved. Depending on the severity of the situation, this could involve legal action, counseling, or divorce. If you’re hesitant about involving legal action or divorce, consider working with a mediator to find a compromise that works for both you and your spouse.
4. Protect your Future Finances
Once you’ve addressed the situation, it’s important to take measures to protect your finances in the future. This could involve setting up separate bank accounts or credit cards, monitoring your credit score to ensure there’s no unauthorized activity, and being more mindful of your finances in general. Additionally, it’s important to build trust with your spouse and establish open lines of communication so that similar incidents can be avoided in the future.
In conclusion, discovering that your spouse has stolen your money can be a difficult and complicated situation to navigate. However, by remaining calm and taking proactive measures to address the issue, you can work towards a solution that works for both parties involved, and take steps to protect your finances in the future.
Ok what if I told him to take out the money from the card and bring it back to me and instead he takes it and runs to the casino. Goes MIA and I’m worried sick something bad happened to him only to find out he stole all the money from me. He knew my plans with it. Sad I can’t trust the person I love. That money was to save for a home purchase.
What do I do if I handled it peacefully but they still take money after I told them to stop?
Stealing from your spouse is a breech of trust.
This wrong. Period.
This is illegal.
Yes, he did steal my money, over time,
When I found out , it was a point that me and the kids were going hungry. Over thousands and thousands of dollars.
It was as if he killed me.
my wife is hiding money from me and spent it secretly,
it's always too late for me to know what she puchased, and when i found out she always gets mad at me.
please tell me what should i do coz it's been a struggle for me coz I'm our main source of income
I dont agree… What if you ask and you have a fake answer from the person…? You ask a question to your wife, like "I am missing 400 dollars in my wallet, do you have any idea about that, blah blah…?" Then she says "No I have no idea"… And then you investigate and you get the PROOF OF CRIME, so what is the husband supposed to do…? Ask again the same question, and get from her the same fake answer…?
How about when he maintains a living habit of spending the joint account into the red an average of -400 dollars before he stops. Like, just bounces checks and uses overdraft protection like its a credit card. As his financial plan, expecting me to cover the debt?
When they don't tell, to do what then?
No answer.
Mostly wimen do.
No exception, only divorce !
So how can I get back all when she keeps silent in court ?
Why are we supposed to say it "differently?" A thief is a thief. I know, as my husband has been stealing from me for 40 years. He doesn't spend it, he just hides it – in his own name. He's a MONEY HOARDER. Regardless of "why," get them the hell out immediately, as it never changes! I learned this the hard way.
Ok so this lady said she takes Money out of her spouses wallet.That right there is stealing.she should ask first then recive the money AFTER she has asked.It dosent matter if it was $5 or $1dollar it's stealing she also mentioned that they had a joint account.That is diffrent to taking money from someones purse or wallet.ask first then you shall recive or the man or woman will say no then Ok take it on the chin and wait till next pay day.If you have payments out going you could be in trouble because you don't have that money to get buy.
9/10 is usually women that steal.
I think if man steals he dont love woman :(( am i right?
Like a thieving man will admit if you just ask him
when you are married their is no your or mine it belongs to both that's all what people need to understand that the money belongs to him and her
I just wasted my time listening to you.
This girl knows how to plug!
I have done the same multiple times and now when i felt really very bad then i told her everything that i stole money from your father account. And then she refused to marry me and broke up with me. I am able to handle this situation i am dying
What should you do if your spouse has taken money on a regular basis the entire relationship (2 1/2 years) and has even taken money from your children (his step children)??
My wife keeps stealing and lieing about it. When confronted she spites in my face and humiliates me till i just wanne explode. She stole everything and now im homeless and broke.
Go to court and very good reason to get divorced
my husband took my 300 dollar watch and pawned it 🙁
What about all ur life achievements..my answer is he is a magliant anti social narcissist
Its control.
It took me four years to finally kick my stealing Common law wife out of my house.I loved her so much it was hard for me to confront her.But it's obvious she has a drug problem.It hurts me more to keep her than trust this idiot.
My husband has been stealing from me from day one. I still can't believe it, and he doesn't drink or do drugs or cheat with other women. Plus he's a tightwad so doesn't spend it on anything. Where does it go? I have no idea. But I've stayed with him for 40 years… it didn't used to matter as I made plenty of money and rarely noticed it, or I could earn more and replace it. I just thought he was a terrible money manager and somehow managed to trick myself into ignoring it, since everyone said "Oh, but he's such a nice guy! You are lucky to have him!"
Now I know this has destroyed me, my self-confidence and convinced me that I deserved NOTHING: not even respect, honesty, communication or sharing. How wrong that was. Now that I am old and sick and cannot earn money anymore, he hasn't stopped his evil ways and I'm up the creek, lucky to even be able to afford medicine and can't afford the home care I need. Plus he taught my son to disrespect me in the same way, lying and stealing from me all his life too.
So it comes down to me and how I put up with this all these years.
"I made my bed and now I have to lay in it. I just didn't know the mattress would be so lumpy!"
And by putting up with this, I have ruined my own life and destroyed my own ability to trust ANYONE. It's a perfect way to destroy yourself by staying with a liar, cheater and a thief, no matter what "style" it may take.
What do I do if my husband wont give me any money Im a stay at home mom of 6.He is a spender and Im a saver.
I’m surprised to see no comments, especially with such difficult topic.
