Husband keeps stealing from me and my kids

[Smith1987224]

Hi there,
my husband and i have not been married very long about 6 month. I have two kids from a previous marriage. I have been noticing stuff going missing and i came across his profile on facebook marketplace and seen things of mine and my kids that he has taken and sold and is selling. I have asked before not to sell things that he has not asked about and especially stuff that belongs to my kids. He said he wouldnt do it and recently I came across another post where he is selling more of my stuff and not telling me. now before anyone says while married its our stuff, all the stuff that he has taken is stuff i got before we were even together and some of the stuff belongs to my parents which they are letting me use. The stuff that belongs to my kids is theirs. I have no idea where the money is that he gets because i Dont see it. I had to take my stuff back and hide it. He is always going through everything and i am always seeing him coming out of someones room. What advice can someone give me? I have been considering divorce because there are other issues i am having and kicking him out of my house because i pay for it and i am the only one that works ands the lease is in my name.I would like to know your thoughts and how you would feel

I would report to the Police. This is not a knee jerk reaction. People who would steal from children are going to lie and lie. Make this official.. and throw him out.

Oh, & do it before the bailiff arrives

Whyyyy is this even a question? Fucking obviously you remove him from your life.

Drugs or gambling.
Kick him out immediately.

Your poor kids.

He is probably a drug addict and he will be pressuring you for money soon when anything saleable is gone.

G>E>T>>R>I>D

This is one of the strangest things I have read in some time. Did he do this before you married? He clearly has issues of some sort. Most probably drugs or gambling I am sorry op.

Don't let him take anything else from your children. Who the hell steals from children? You have asked him to stop, he cannot or will not. You need to ask him to leave.

WTF?! That is terrible.
As soon as I read this the first thing that sprung to mind was drugs.

This is really odd. Why would you marry someone that doesn’t have his own means of support when you already have two children to care for?

LTB

Omg!! It doesn't matter why just kick him out. Immediately

Are you afraid of him op?

Not sure if OP has been back since 1st post. But this is very bizarre and aggressive behaviour. I would worry that if he is doing this, what else is he capable of? Could he be a criminal/ capable of physical aggression? I’d get your ducks in a row, have an exit route, try and get family support, don’t let him know your intentions and then get out. Maybe consult a solicitor and the police too. But clearly you can’t stay with him. Good luck .

He is funding some sort of habit. Divorce him. Get him out of the house and change locks.

First of all I would take screenshots of all the items he is selling on market place. I would then message him and ask him why he is selling property that doesn’t belong to him and that he doesn’t have permission to sell. I would then take it to the police.

I would then kick him out and divorce him.

It doesn’t matter why he is doing this, the fact that you have already spoken and told him not to and he has ignored this would be enough disrespect for me to leave. He is continuing to disrespect and steal from you and your children

The person I knew who did this was a gambler.

Call the police and get him arrested for theft of your belongings.

Get rid.

this is really sick ... who does that .. and to kids 😕

Good grief, this is diabolical, you certainly don't want anyone in your life like him.He is a criminal really. and the idiot probably doesn't think he is doing anything wrong. Time for him to go elsewhere I think.

OP - do you even need to ask?
You need to get rid of him while this is a new marriage. The longer you stay, the more financial entanglement you will have and the harder it would be to kick him out.

Oh, op, he saw you coming. He's using you for money and isn't even being secretive about it. Make him move out, change the locks, divorce him. Sorry...

Wtf am I reading??
Your HUSBAND is STEALING and SELLING your things!!!! Fuck me, I've heard it all now. He must be buying drugs with the money. Kick him out straight away. A partner is supposed to enrich your life.

Sell something of his. Ideally something he prized

You deserve better than this, your children deserve better than this.

Kick the lazy thieving git out for god sake. This isn't normal, this isn't right. He is stealing from you and your children.

What do you mean you’re only considering divorcing him? Raise your standards op, thr mans robbing you and yout own children.
