Radio can sometimes be the worst invention. Have you heard some of the people who call in and the problems they have? Just a week ago, I had a call from a woman who was married and had her car repossessed. She wanted advice about how to sneak out the house and get the car back without telling her husband. She hadn't paid the bill in six months. What type of relationship is that?
If getting the car back without telling your husband is your worry, then you might as well give him your wedding band and walk away now. I might say it nicely when you see me but I'm still going to tell you the truth. This truth is simple, you're relationship won't last long. If you are keeping a secret as big as not paying bills for six months then there is truly a really big problem. You're married - grow up! On top of that, she claimed to manage the home finances. This just feels like an accident approaching.
We talk about communication a lot, probably because it's important. More important is honest communication. I don't care to throw too many terms out, but financial infidelity seems to be the term of 2011 and it seems to be a legitimate problem. Even beyond the ridiculous circumstance described on the radio program, relationships where finances are being hidden in such major ways are on shaky ground. That's being polite. As some point, stuff like that blows up. Why chance having to spend time covering up and correcting things when you can just do it right the first time? Hey we all mistakes. But if you're making one that big, you might as well repossess your ring because your husband will ask for it in not too long.
