One partner quit their job and cashed out their 401(k) without telling the other. The person left behind feels betrayed, worried about their credit-card debt and savings, and questions whether they can trust major financial decisions anymore.
He quit his job. He cashed out his 401k. I didn't know he quit his job until I got home that day.
I think I just hit a breaking point. I felt trapped and the only alternative I had was to just leave it. This seems like not the only option. It seems like the nuclear of nuclear options.
It's hard for me to trust somebody that made those big decisions when I don't even buy a new TV without asking. I feel like I try to do things responsibly and then I'm frustrated that I don't want to be the only one feeling like I'm damaged responsibly.
We desperately need more in cash as far as savings is concerned.
I feel like that was his credit card debt and not my credit card debt.
Oh, so.
I'm bitter that I have to pay it off.
I'm really nervous. I'm 36 and to think that I'm at this age in barely any retirement to speak of, it's really scary.
