5 Red Flags Your Spouse Is FINANCIALLY Cheating

A stash of money in the bottom of a cookie jar probably isn't going to destroy your marriage. But realizing that your spouse cheats on you financially could be the beginning of the end of your marriage. In an already troubled marriage, financial infidelity could be what makes you decide to call it quits.

In this episode of What Ted Says, I’ll show you some of the common warning signs or red flags in a marriage where one spouse is lying about their money habits. Even though one in three Americans admits to lying about money to their spouse, the issue is too important to avoid. Small lies about finances can lead to even more damaging behaviors in your marriage. Watch these important warnings signs and leave me a comment if you were in a marriage where you caught a spouse financially cheating.

Financial cheating is SO much worse than sexual cheating. I have no idea why people are so focused on what happens between someone's legs, but ignore fraud, theft, risk of bankruptcy, inability to provide for your children, etc. etc. etc.

I asked. She gaslighted. She then conveniently forgot she owed me $300. She kicked and screamed when I asked for it back.

She is simply taking and not giving back.

I'll buy a $60 dinner for two. She says the next one is on her. Then she gets us a $15 meal for 2 and call it even.

My girlfriend and I have been together for 3 years and plan to move in together and get married yet won’t show me her finances and gets weird about it every time. I feel she may be trying to save enough money to make sure she is set up because she does not pay rent here but has a good job but says she isn’t saving .. so show me right? I feel like that’s a very normal thing to ask! But she fights it every time

My husband made 38, 400 .00 last year and only gave me 12, 000.00 total for bills and necessities. He tells me it's for fast food, energy drinks, and pot. 26, 000.00 and bc I'm a stay at home mom and do not contribute financially he says I have no say in his money. We are currently 2, 000$ behind on power, 144 behind on water, and 800# behind in rent. We have three children together and one from a previous relationship. I homeschool two that are aged 4 and five and we also have an eight month old. I'm very worried about my children having a roof over their heads, diapers, clothing, and food on the table. What kind of human spends 26 thousand on themselves in a year when they're children are in need? Is this considered financial cheating bc I'm very aware it's Funchal
Financial abuse.
