My husband spent a year pretending he had a job.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 10 years and in a relationship for 20. I just found out that for more than a year he has been lying about working. He pretended he had a part-time contracting job and has been using our savings to pass as income from this fictional job.
Over the past year, we made a lot of financial decisions based on the assumption that he was employed, which has left us in a tight situation. He initially denied it when I confronted him and even provided fake documents about his “job” before finally coming clean. I’m feeling many emotions because of this betrayal, and I am unsure about how to proceed. Can you guide me?
