My Husband Demanded I Pay All Our Bills Because He Was ‘Saving up for Our Future’

Over dinner, my husband Jake suggested I cover all our bills so he could save for “our future.” Days later, a woman named Anna called, claiming to be Jake’s girlfriend and accusing me of spending his money. Realizing his deceit, I transferred our joint savings to my account, canceled utilities, and secured a new apartment for myself. When Jake discovered this, he was furious, but I calmly informed him of my departure. Two weeks later, settled in my new place, I learned Anna had left him upon discovering his financial situation. For the first time in years, I felt truly free.
