Welcome to R. slash Am I the But Hole, where OP's wife is literally addicted to fast food.

0:06.6

Am I the But Hole for completely cutting my wife off from our finances because she would not stop ordering takeout?

0:14.7

I'm a 41 year old guy and my wife is 39.

0:17.8

My wife doesn't work due to a minor disability.

I may have reacted harshly, but on Friday I pulled money out of our savings,

1:30.0

completely paid off the card, and then cancelled it. I then removed all the money from our joint
