Dear all
I have a disturbing story. My husband took out several loans and traded them away on the stock market. He then used my savings to try to recover his own money and lost all of that too. I was extremely angry but after a huge argument which started with him saying he could no longer contribute to the house hold due to his £3000 pcm bank instalments, and I calling him irresponsible, he left to go live with his mother apparently. We have 2 children in private school and I was expected (now short of my savings) to just handle it and woman up! He made some proposal of reconciliation involving us uprooting and going 200 miles away to another city (where his mother is) or returning on a 50/50 basis between the 2 cities. But in the end it all boiled down to the fact that all the family assets were in my sole name and we did not have a UK registration. He feels he has nothing, even though no one asked him to leave and that he has to build his own assets now in life as he feels vulnerable! We are his third family, so this is the third set of kids he has abandoned. Do men leave to make money for them self? I wanted him to come to his senses but now I just accept he is a narcissist......
