Are You Committing Financial Infidelity?

Shame plays a large part when it comes to financial infidelity. Sometimes finances simply spiral out of control, and it's not uncommon to hide these debts and expenditures from a partner. In fact, it is estimated that around six-million Americans are guilty of financial infidelity in some way, shape or form, so if you have told a white lie about your spending or have over-spent on your credit card, trust me, you are far from alone.

But the problem with hiding financial information from your significant other is that it can lead to marital and quite possibly legal problems in the future. Whether those problems spiral into something like divorce (financial reasons are one of the top reasons why couples get divorced) or whether you will leave a partner with a massive debt when you pass away, nothing beneficial can come from hiding your debts from your partner.

A Sticky Situation

I recently met with a client that just lost his wife. While the pain of losing his wife of many years was enough to cripple him, he received a double whammy when he realized that his wife had been battling mountains of credit card debt for some time now. He didn't know about any of these debts.

These debts were well hidden from him while his wife was alive. In this particular case, his deceased wife had opened up various credit card accounts using both of their names. The reason she did this was because the credit card companies kept offering her more and more credit. The offers for 6 months free interest were very enticing, and she continued to take the bait. This quickly led the grieving husband to seek the advice of a bankruptcy attorney.

While I'm sure his wife had very good reasons for hiding the bills from him (she did not want to burden him with the truth), the fact that they had joint accounts meant that he was responsible for the debt as well. While it can be hard to discuss financial problems with your partner, neglecting to do so can quickly lead to a financial mess, emotional issues and physical issues. I often wonder if the stress, fear and guilt of dealing with this debt caused her death.

Grounds for Divorce

In some cases, committing financial infidelity can lead to divorce. The strain of debt can often be too much for one partner to bear, and sometimes these debts do hold up in court. If you are experiencing financial troubles, make sure that you speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney today. Debt might seem like quicksand, but there are often ways to get out of debt allowing you to see the light of day and breathe again. Remember, financial infidelity will cause stress, fear and guilt which can cost you much more than a paycheck. Are you willing to pay that price?

  2. Infidelity in marriage is the worst thing to happen to a person, my wife so smooth at hiding her infidelity, I was so paranoid and did not know what to do. I saw a review about a PI/hacker and I needed help getting access to my wife’s mobile phone so i contacted him and he said he was going to help me.I gave him the information he required about my wife’s and after some few hours later i received all her mobile phone activity and got all her deleted text messages linked directly to me. He was reliable and trustworthy i just want to thank him. If you need help you can contact him on Gmail (Gadgethacksolution) or WhatsApp : +1(267)877-3020. Cheaters are the worst

  3. Many people have written articles about how they were helped but I am very grateful to this great man who brought my ex-husband back to me. This testimony is a true story and my name is Jennifer Sanchez. When I came in contact with this man was also through a testimony written about him helping with a cure for Herpes Virus and I have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life. To get back with an ex is one of the most innermost feelings many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent of two boys for almost 6 years and though my ex-husband was not staying with me and the kids I still wish someday he will return to me. This doctor I encountered is known as Dr. Odunga helped me with my wishes and I am happy to write on this website that my ex-husband is back with me. I am very happy to share the testimony with everyone so that they too can meet this great doctor and solve their problems. I don't know what others might feel about getting their ex back in their life but I always know there is a blessing in disguise with just a single re-connection with an ex. If you want to successfully get back with your ex or facing an infertility problem, contact this great man at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com Or WhatsApp/Call +2348167159012 and share an awesome testimony too just as I did
