We were living paycheck to paycheck but he has a substantial pension and I had just gotten a job. It wasn't that I was on borrowed time it was just a lot of stress on me. I bought him what he wanted to make him happy and it didn't even work. He left me anyway.
I had just paid off 90% of our debt (3rd time in 30 years) when he left. I never intended to get into debt again and again but it just crept up on me. All he had to was say he wanted something and I'd make it happen even if that meant going into debt again.
He appears to have a good handle on the money now but he also walked out with $14k, got a 2nd job and a promotion. This bothers me but unless he's had a personality transplant his spending will creep back up again just like it did before me and with me.
