This exact same thing happened to my brother a few years ago. He worked everyday and his wife stayed home with their son. She was supposed to be handling all the bills. One afternoon he gets a call at work from the bank telling him they're 4 months behind on their car payments. He immediately called his wife and she still said she had paid them, so he went by the bank to straighten things out, still thinking the bank had made a mistake. What he found out was not only had the payments not been made, but a lot of other bills weren't being paid either.
He went home mad and she still said she had paid them. It took 2 days of arguing about it before she finally said she never paid them and hid the past due notices so he wouldn't see them. He said that for him the worst part was he never could understand how she thought he wouldn't find out. He asked her, "What did you think was going to happen when I came home one day and your car was gone? Did you think I wouldn't notice?". She just kept saying "I don't know."
Needless to say after that he handled all their bills. For him, it broke all trust and finally things ended in divorce.
