To find a lost wallet and keep the money inside

Sick of all this jealousy towards" boomers "
Boomers have worked hard . If your fella wants to feel resentment then save it for Governments past and present .

What values attract you to a partner?

For.me it is honesty.
Kindness
Empathy.

You husband has none.
Why did you ever get with him?

The love of money is the root of all evil.

OP’s H is not only a despicable thief, but is an ageist prat, who is teaching his child to be the same.

I wonder if it occurs to him that he may be old one day and whether he will speak and think so unpleasantly then. He’ll probably be either on his own or in trouble with the law. I think his employers should know that he’s stealing from them.

What a despicable piece of work.

Money is the root of all evil.

That is gross misconduct and cab result in dismissal

This makes me really sad OP. My DDad is 82, partially sighted, with severe arthritis in his hands but fiercely independent. He still likes to go to the shop on his own but has a couple of times gone to put his wallet in his pocket but fumbled it and dropped it but not noticed.

Luckily on both occasions kindly people have either given it back to him before he got too far away or handed it in at the shop where he's been able to collect it when he's realised what has happened.

The thought someone would take advantage of him by taking the cash out of it before handing it in makes me really upset. I couldn't have someone like that in my life or my DCs lives.

No I would never. My parents once found a wallet in the supermarket, they managed to trace it back to the owner and when they met the owner was an elderly man who said the money inside was his pension money he’d only just got out. He was so happy and relieved, tried to give my mum some money but she wouldn’t accept.

On the flip side to that my husband once found a leather satchel on a train found out the owner from the contents and got off a few train stops early to delivery it to the owner’s house…my husband knew the area well and the house was almost bang opposite the station. Owner opened the door, snatched the bag and slammed the door shut in my husband’s face. Some people are ungrateful and rude.

It was a young couple and they said the money was for a deposit for a flat.

As a Boomer, I'd like you to tell your less than delightful husband a couple of things from me-
a) we're not all wealthy by a long shot
b) many of us are still working and paying taxes etc
c) losing money would devastate my financial position which is precarious at best. He is vile.

So DH is a their and encourages your ds to steal. Get out and get your ds some counseling so God forbid he does not follow in dh footsteps.

This your husband sounds a right charmer 😡

Brilliant. 😊

Dh found a wallet in the market.
There was £250 in it plus cards.
It was returned with in the hour.
The first I knew about it was when the the person who lost it put a thank you on Facebook and named him. I asked why dh he didn't tell me and he said he didn't think anything about it, he just returned it and got on with his day.
This is how it should be.

About 45 years ago my Dad got to St Pancras to get his train back to Nottingham and realised he'd lost his wallet. Before movies etc so he asked the station to phone my Mum, and she went to Nottm station to buy him a replacement ticket. Then they let him in a train.
About a week later his wallet arrived in the post. It had fallen out of his pocket in the taxi. Everything was in it. Cash. Access Card. And a short note from Mohamed the taxi Driver. London cab not minicab so no chance of finding him to say thank you. He just did a nice thing. Made my Dad's day!

Horrible way to find out your husband is a scummy, dishonourable prick. I couldn’t look at anyone the same way if I knew they felt like that! Hope you’re ok.

Your husband is not a good man or role model for your children.

I hope your plans allow you to leave him sooner rather than later.

Your husband clearly has no moral compass, and no sense of wanting to help / or be kind to others. You do, and you did the right and very kind thing.

I remember your post about your son and the air pods OP.
From the details you've now added it's clear his behaviour is a way of life and the fact he was so pleased with himself about the wallet I would find really appalling. And the justifications for it (everyone out for themselves, boomers etc) are morally bankrupt.
I could not live my life with this man

Whilst I'd be tempted I would never seriously contemplate taking money from a wallet I'd found.

If my partner had told me a similar story I might have joked "oh you should have kept the money" but I absolutely would judge him if he had (which he wouldn't because he is honest!)

No i wouldn't. But I'll be completely honest, I would have done when I was younger. I was homeless and completely skint.

He is absolutely awful.

This happened to me once quite a few years ago.
I found a purse on the pavement.
The cards etc identified the person. I did not keep any of the money, and managed to return the purse. (Can't remember now how we did this, I think there must have been a telephone number as well).
However, Once I found a screwed up £5 note on the underground. No Purse, etc, so kept it. (I looked around but there did not seem to be anyone searching their pockets etc).
So, in the first instance, the money/carsds and I think keys, identified someone who had lost it. In the second instance, the money was on its own. No means of identification.

So awful of your dh.
My brother found a wallet at Gatwick. It had cash and cards in it. He managed to track down the old man who dropped it and drove 60 miles to drop it off to him.
I thought it was such a kind thing to do.

No, this 'Boomer' may well be in their 70s on a pension.

Your husband is an actual scumbag.

I am not even pretending I have never pinched something! I dont own a high hoss - but imo its a case by case basis.

Last time I stole something was when I was a single parent - I had no money to buy milk and i pinched the one of the four pints of milk on my neighbours doorstep. Thats a shitty thing to do, I know, I know - but circumstance dependant i would likely do something similar. Our food budget was £7 per week and that was all we had. No foodbanks back then either

But i would never keep a wad of cash and feel entitled as a finders fee from someone who may not have any other cash in the world
