But it is confusing!  With all the push/pull, I have no idea what she wants.

She emptied my account out, but there was only like $100 in there.  So pretty fair for a tire.

I was referring to her saying she was confused by your actions.

However... better to stay away from invalidation and say it isn't confusing.

Put your value out there and let it go.

Second issue:

Are you evaluating the financial risk you are exposing yourself to by allowing her access to "your" money?

I've cut all financial ties with my wife.  She has to ask me for money... .no ability to "take" it.

"I'm not able to talk with hurtful comments between us."

Cool -- I sent her that text.

Are you evaluating the financial risk you are exposing yourself to by allowing her access to "your" money?

I've cut all financial ties with my wife.  She has to ask me for money... .no ability to "take" it.

We do have separate accounts, but through the same bank and we share our passwords with each other.  So it's easy to transfer money back and forth.  Most of the time this is very convenient, but this is at least the second time she's done it without my initial consent.

The first time (this summer), I changed my password for a while.  I eventually shared it with her again as a show of trust while we were patching things back up.

I think it's likely that I'll change it again soon.  (Although it's pointless until I get paid later this week -- there's nothing to take!)

So... if it is "just" one time before and this time that she took it without asking... .perhaps I would consider offering it again as part of a future "patch up".

Once "they" get used to dysfunctional habits... .it's really hard to break.

So... asked another way, how did sharing your password turn out?  Did she become trustworthy?

Oh wait... you shared it... .likely because she said YOU were not trustworthy... .hmmmm

Right?

The password sharing actually was just for convenience.  "Hey, I need twenty bucks but I'm broke -- mind if I transfer myself some?", etc.

However, she definitely has said that I'm not trustworthy.  Many, many times!

uBPDw sent a number of texts and called late last night/this morning.  Very "pull"-y.  For example,

Excerpt
Do you love me? ... .I just want to know if you love me.  ... .I don't deserve the silent treatment.

I just responded that I do love her, and suggested we talk this afternoon when I get home from work.

She came back, and crazy stuff went down.  I've decided to switch to the Detaching board.  Thread here:
