Problem is that 50% of people do not get bad stuff done to them walking down the street.

First of all, that 50% figure is this thing you heard once that said "50% of all marriages end in divorce." Whether that figure is accurate, or even reflects a meaningful statistic, is beside the point, since the divorce rate is not what was being argued. You would have to quote statistics on what percentage of that group that divorces suffered negative consequences from joint bank account ownership. If you find those stats, please feel free to post again.

...by my own damn wife. We have been separated for a couple weeks and looking to get a divorce. When we first got together we went to Wells Fargo and made a joint account and I put some our money in it. Then we left it there and used our own different banks. Looked this morning to find it sapped of funds...transferred to her account. I'm gonna find this bitch and break both her god damn mother fucking legs.

I think it's funny when people don't understand the legalities of being married.

In general, you are considered one person. You know, married together. There isn't I, you, mine, yours in marriages unless there are exemptions (prenup), until the divorce.

That being said, sorry your wife is handling things like this. Separating is rarely clean. I said fuck it, and gave her everything I didn't need to live/work (clothes, car, computer).
 
Reading though this thread it really becomes rather evident why the climb in divorce rates as of late. Seems that people evidently forgot why people get married in the first place.

That is YOUR fault for not protecting YOUR money.

Legally...you can't do a damned thing about it.

No... But document it. The funds were taken out post separation and he has a record of that. His lawyer can argue that she is liable to pay 50% of that back in what ever settlement of the marital assets they come to.

So OP... I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Who in their right mind is dumb enough to get a joint account --I guess the same people who are dumb enough to get married? Married or not, keep your own money separate.

Been married ten years. Some happy, some not.

No joint account here. I control all the household finances.
 
BoomerD said:
Yep. We've been married 39 years as of yesterday...we've had joint everything accounts since before we got married.

HOWEVER...if you separate with the intent of divorce...separate your money. Put YOUR money where she can't access it.


That SHOULD be common sense.

Grats, Boomer! Only one more year for the decennieal sex! Are you getting in shape now?

Linking versus telling people to just search a subforum is bullshit.

Step off.

Just based on your crazy stories you should know this.

The idea is that they don't want links cached. If the op isn't trolling, it should be painfully obvious why he is being "robbed" (or at least deserves to be).

Are you OK with your L&R discussions going public?

You are still just a boy.

I didn't make them public, but if I were to make an L&R thread that completely explained or contradicted an ATOT thread, I would expect someone to call me out on it. As is, people appear to be falling for a troll that never mentioned having a wife prior to this thread and that last mentioned having a girlfriend over five years ago.

Not surprising that someone that divorced twice would empathize with the op, though.

Why now or why historically? The whole idea of marrying for love is a relatively new concept.

I am just glad no man ever raped me. Not saying that happened to you. I just feel you want to rape people here with your insensate bullshit.

I'd finally get laid and relax. You are all highly wound and have nothing to show for it.

Not everyone is totally honest here. I try to be.

Not all of us are into Smoke and Mirrors to play the sub vs main forums.

Skip a thread if you don't give a shit.

lol bro, lol
 
As far as I know L&R isn't 'secret' information.

Either the OP has a wife and has had 'their' money 'stolen', or he's been cheating on his wife with a married subordinate, or he's not got a wife and has been sleeping with a married subordinate, or he's not married and not screwing a subordinate.

Over all, the level of contradiction doesn't rise to the level of 'liar' he could have simply left out the sleeping with a co-worker in this thread and the cheating on his wife part in the other thread.

And yea; we all know why Alky is so keen to not be called on cheating, but that's not the point of the thread...

yeah you are mad.

So tell us about your experience with women since you are self-proclaiming yourself as an expert now.

Go dig up my stuff too, see if I am butthurt like you have been (_O_)!

You don't need to be an expert on women to know that something is off when six months ago you're fucking your employee and have no posting history of any wife or recent girlfriend, and then suddenly your wife has "stolen" your money and is seeking a divorce.

People always say that more marriages end in divorce as if it's a bad thing.

You don't see people saying less marriages end in death nowadays.

I don't know about that. Literature all the way back to Greek times is replete with stories of romantic love and its role in long term relationships and family life. I would concede that it is only with the material prosperity of modern times that we have the luxury of marrying solely for love, if that's what we want to do.

Maybe people are just living long enough to get sick of each other. It would be interesting to see some comparisons of long-lived marriages now vs., say, 200 years ago. Did people often live long enough to be married 50 or even 60 years back then?

For my part, if you don't intend to become one person, one family, one economic unit, what the hell is the point of the ceremony, and the paper, and all the bullshit? (I mean, you could argue what the point of it is in any case, but I mean specifically, what is the point when you're already strategizing how best to exit the marriage if that becomes necessary?) Maybe marriage really is an anachronism now.
