She Wants To Leave Her Husband After Finding Out He’s Been Stealing Money From Their Daughter’s Savings Account
When you have a child, it’s not uncommon to want to set aside as much money as possible for them so they have a safety net.
A woman is furious with her partner after finding out he spent the majority of the money he was supposed to deposit into a savings account for their infant daughter.
She and her husband are in their early 20s and became parents to a baby girl not long ago.
Because the cost of living in their area is so high, they’re living with her mom and aunt.
“Right after our baby was born, my mother gave my partner $300 to put in a dedicated account for our daughter so that she could start her savings,” she said.
“He opened the account and told me he was putting $250 per paycheck into the account as well.”
She was surprised and even told her partner he shouldn’t put that much into the account at once so he could have some for himself.
Unfortunately, she didn’t realize her partner’s selflessness was a sham.
She was finally given access to the account after her partner kept it to himself for a while, and when she took a look at the funds, she thought she’d see a good hunk of money.

But she didn’t. There was only $5 left in the account.
“After the initial $300 deposit, not a penny had been placed in it,” she explained.
“Not only that, but he had spent everything except $5, and over $150 of that [was spent] at vape stores. I was livid.”
She was shaking with anger when she confronted her partner later, and he denied doing anything wrong.
She felt he had been stealing, and he disagreed. He said he “needed” everything he bought with their daughter’s money.
She was ready to tell him to pack his bags, but he begged her to reconsider and discuss everything with their couple’s therapist.
“Our therapist, a trained professional with an actual degree, not only validated his nicotine addiction but told him not to feel guilty about it,” she recalled.
“She also acted as though the problem wasn’t that he stole the money from our daughter but that he didn’t inform me when he did it.”
With newfound confidence after their therapist backed him up, her partner told her she could take care of the bills from now on and acted as if nothing happened a few days later. While her partner and relatives are telling her to let this go, she’s still so angry and feels like she can’t.
Should she let go of the situation, or is she right to be mad?
