veronica and texas my husband and i were married a few months ago before the wedding he told me he was

a successful businessman and had a net worth of just under a million he had stories about properties

he owned farm leases and businesses he has invested in.

We lived together before marriage, and he rarely helped with household bills using the excuse that

my income can handle the regular expenses, and he would cover the big stuff when it came up.

Naturally. Uh-oh. Now that we're legally married, he admitted his stories were lies. He doesn't

have any assets and has over $150,000 in debt that he is behind on.

I am freaking out. I made plans for my business based on his promises to contribute more into our shared expenses.

I have some debt from our wedding and the slow months in my business. I'm not sure how I can keep supporting the whole household while he pays his debt off.

Where do I go from here?

I would go straight to counseling.

I don't know anywhere else to go when your relationship was built on the throne of lies.

I would go straight to the judge and I would get the marriage annulled.

I think this is...

It's a farce.

This is a fraud. She has been

defrauded. This is not a marriage problem where we want to work out some differences. This is

straight up fraud. I hope, you know, I really don't care what the audience thinks if they think

I'm wrong there. I really don't. As I think this is such a fraudulent deal. This is, she's been completely duped to the point of catfishing.

The intentionally him conning her.

Yes.
