To leave DP over £2000 he 'accidently' threw away with the rubbish?

[mumstonic]

I think this has to be the final straw really.

We run a business. Its a struggle. Just when I think we're finally turning a corner I discover the DP had accidently thrown out an envelope with just over £2000 in it. We were paid by a customer on Friday, the money was due to go into the bank today and now its in a landfill somewhere.

Gutted is an understatement. Just another careless idiotic thing in a long line. I hate running this business, I've had enough and I just want to leave.

Did he say how he managed to throw a bulky envelope away, doesn't sound plausible to me tbh. Have you tried to search where he could have hidden it?

having read updates I think he didn't throw it away. LTB

How exactly did this happen OP?

How would you be behaving if you'd thrown it away, OP?

Would you have expected your partner to call the council and generally stress, while seemingly doing nothing?

If he'd thrown it away, he'd be visibly upset about it. Even I would, and I like to pretend that I did everything on purpose, including falling over or ripping a tenner or whatever else.

If you look at him, it should be pretty obvious if he's lying. If he is, use the 2 grand to leave him to rot. He clearly didn't think the business needed it.

BTW what did you mean by 'turning a corner' - just wondering if maybe there's a clue there about what else could be going on. Although in some ways it doesn't really matter if you are going to leave

How exactly did he let you know this had happened?

I don't think the business is the problem at all, I think this weapons grade ballbag is the problem, who is causing the business issues.
Please consider how much value you place on your worth & happiness. LTB, you deserve much more than what I have read. .

contact council & go to dump
you might be lucky

It doesn't look good on his part.

I don't know any of your other threads but just realise tHat you really don't need this.

Why should you be clearing up his mess.

Kill the prick.

Leave him. The cash is just the straw that broke the camels back, and you sound utterly fed up with him. I predict you'll be much happier without him to bring you down.

Why wasn't it in a safe?

Leaving an envelope laying around over the weekend, that's clearly labelled as containing cash is asking for trouble.

As Northern said, lifes too short, i would leave him.

There's no way you could accidentally throw out an envelope with that much money in, even if it wasn't labelled - as a PP has said, even in £50 notes, that's going to be a chunky envelope.

Either way the guy is a prize arse. Sorry for you.

leave him as the resentment will poison the relationship, not worth losing your sanity over a selfish arsehole. Will it be complicated to leave him because of the business?

Bollocks did he throw it away. I'm 99% sure that is bullshit. You cannot possibly throw away an envelope with £2000 in it.

It's taking you for a mug and spent it/going to spend it.

Leave him.

I don't understand how it got thrown out either.
Where was it?

I don't know. I got £9k cash out the bank earlier this year in £100 notes. It wasn't that bulky. But I haven't read OP's other threads so can't comment on back story. OP, how are you now?

what would he use it for?

to fund his selfish lifestyle.

you know what you gotta do.

If i had 2k cash, i fucking remember it, and be vigilant with it.

Hes taken it and pissed it up a wall.

My stepdad sometimes gets paid in cash, its a pretty sizeable envelope.

mumstonic ooh my 2nd insurance related post of the week, must be time for me to get back to work. Just to reassure you re money limit and excess - the correct method is to deduct the excess first and then apply any relevant limit, otherwise you would be penalised twice. You'd therefore get back £500 if your insurer accepts your claim.

I would however not get your hopes up about a speedy settlement - this type of claim has alarm bells ringing for insurers for two reasons 1) who actually throws out £2000 in an envelope? and 2) how convenient that it happened on one of the rare occasions you were paid in cash.

As a minimum, you must report the loss to the police if not done so already, and also be prepared to ask your client for a written confirmation of paying that amount of money in cash.

Sorry

Yes, how did this happen according to him? Who throws out envelopes without looking at the contents? I am haphazard with my paperwork and I have never thrown money away.

Agree that this sounds like a situation you need to be out of. Can you dissolve the business or buy him out?

I agree with everyone here that there is no way it got thrown out. He took it.

If he keeps constantly creating financial problems, as you say, then he has taken it to pay off debt.

I would dump him and report suspicions to police.
