Dearest John, it's been a fortnight since I felt your warm embrace.

0:04.1

Dear Sam, such it has since we started the OK Storytime podcast.

0:07.8

Yes, and I have a message for you, a delicious story that I think you'll love sincerely, Sam.

0:13.1

But before that, thine divine two-minute outbreak must happen.

0:16.7

I bid thee farewell.

0:17.8

See you in two minutes.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

My husband's spending habits are ruining our marriage, despite him making six figures.

0:29.4

We're cutting you off.

0:30.8

And this comes directly from the R-slash-OK Storytime subreddit.

So let us know if you're in the comments right now. I, female and my husband, John, 40 male, are having marital issues that I believe started with finances. We went into both the relationship and marriage knowing we were on completely different levels financially. John made it seem like a non-issue because it's just money and he made so much of it. Despite how he talked about money, I knew things happened and money can be a huge issue. So I wanted to protect us both before we got married. By the way, this comes from Karekray to stay, and if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R slash okay storytime and subreddit. And I'm Angie. I'm Sophia. And I'm Keion. And I will now forever use Craig Cray to Stay Stay when we talk about these relationships. Yeah. That's amazing. That's Cray, Crette, St, St. Yeah. But O.P says, I made it clear that a pre-nup was a must and he had to be active in helping me create it.

I typed out a fair agreement, which left us basically leaving with what we came into

1:33.1

unless we became mutually or individually wealthy while married. The major issue was that I went

1:38.6

into it with school loans, a mortgage and a small income, whereas John owned a small home outright and had no debt and made

1:46.8

a very comfortable wage. Initially, I was in charge of finances. John and I have always done our

1:51.7

bills very differently. I grew up poor and felt comfortable knowing how every penny was spent,

1:56.9

saving several months' worth of expenses as a just-in-case in budgeting accordingly. I didn't have

2:03.0

jobs that could easily support a single person, let alone a woman and a child, so the struggle was

2:08.0

real, but I always made it work and had enough. John was the polar opposite. While he wasn't rich

2:13.4

growing up, he was very comfortable and money was never an issue. As an adult, there was

2:18.3

never a financial struggle for him either. He bought a home vehicle had a 401k, made almost six
