In desperate need of advice, separation looming!

WoM: You need to protect your assets when the WAS is in the selfish phase. My W spent $30k and milked me for another $55k before she left for Germany. She came back on a "hunting" trip (to get more money) a few weeks ago and sold her 2003 fully-loaded Eddie Bauer Edition Expedition for $9k.

Fortunately, by that time I had closed the joint accounts and cards and transferred my remaining assets to an individual account. You should definitely look into some legal advice for your sitch and state, because they don't have any thought for the future -- they are only thinking about the now and having fun and partying and having their independence (from you!)

The good news is that it does eventually pass, but you will be in the poor house when it does unless you man up and cut them off.
