Y'all savage. LOL
Her husband was wrong as hell. But this is a cautionary tale. If my husband was rich, I wouldn't work but I would definitely have my own rainy day fund for myself.
I’m kinda torn. On the one hand, this is what happens when you depend on someone else for your livelihood, but it sounds like this is the arrangement they had. He would go out and make the money and she would stay home and maintain the home/take care of the kids. He didn’t hold up his end.
As a married couple, they should have discussed this before he just quit his job. They could have planned to downsize together, but actually I think their marriage was probably broken long before this. For all I know, they did discuss things, but couldn’t come to an agreement. Oh well. It happens. She should have been saving some of that money all along.
Why was the husband wrong?
lol@ her tambout, "I was rich...", nope...your husband was rich, not you.
I just watched the video. She's an idiot. Yes, he quit his job but he owns a legal cannabis business. There's a lot of money in the business. She decided to leave him after he quit his job because the change in lifestyle. Instead of riding through the changes and helping him with his business, she walked away and left him with the kids. She started drinking and gained 150 lbs. She should be mad at herself.
Since he's still apparently able to support his kids, I don't think that the husband is wrong. My guess is that he probably went from $700k to the 100-200 range which is perfectly liveable. Yes, even in New York. Plus, what kind of conversation can you have with an alcoholic who doesn't take care of her kids or her house? She can't take care of herself, I doubt she was contributing anything useful to the home. He probably looked at her as another dependent to take care of which is why he didn't respect her enough to talk to her about his career change.He just decided to quit his job after his family had grown accustomed to that lifestyle. I hope he at least had a conversation with her about it. He went from making 700k a year to a fraction of that.

I’m still watching, so she was an alcoholic and then he decided to go into a different business adventure? So she always had a problem and he started to make changes? I don’t understand what is going on.. I just know if anybody’s husband just up and quit their job, or took a huge pay cut, everybody would be tripping.From the clip, it seems like she turned back to drinking after he quit. When your income is reduced by more than 50% your lifestyle will change. $700k a year and $200k is a very significant difference when it comes to lifestyle.
ETA: just saw the clip with him saying he quit his job when her drinking was out of control and he needed to be there for his kids.....I change my stance then.....

Yeah he is a Beta and PA and she is narcissist alcoholic. I just feel sorry for the kids. I don’t feel sorry for him, her, or her parents.I'm watching the other videos now and I just can't believe her. She's an alcoholic, period! That is why her marriage went sideways. Not because she lost her lifestyle. Her summary of events reads like she had a slight problem which got worse because of her sudden lifestyle change. His summary of events is that she was getting progressively worse and the lifestyle change probably wasn't sudden at all. I imagine long drawn out fights about money being thrown away on rehab visits, disappearing for hours on shopping trips and drinks with the girls and coming home realizing she forgot to pick up the kids again. I don't believe his actions were 100% children focused, though. I almost suspect it was so that he wouldn't have the extras to spend on her but still live comfortably. It was to find a way to cut her off without it hurting him too much. But desperate times call for desperate measures. This is a mess and she needs to take some responsibility for herself.
