"especially if she has been working all this time and really didn't have to. " I don't understand this statement
@donnatella
I don't think having a Million in the bank automatically makes a woman not want to work. Maybe the fella is saving for Retirement for them and knew that she'd blow through the money had she known about it. Just struck me funny. Especially because a Million bucks isn't all that much this day and age.
I didn't hear anything about this...so I could be barking up the wrong tree.
@cgm10sne1: It's $100 Million not $1 Million. With that kind of money, there's no reason for her to work unless she just wanted to. My guess is she they have decided for her to quit. that she thought she had to.
The point is that he had hidden the fact that the money existed. That's a massive secret to hide from a spouse. Having a security nest egg is one thing, say a few hundred thousand, but $100 million drastically changes the need to work and the entire way you look at the future. What is she was worrying herself to death about finances, their future, paying for college, enough to have endangered her health. That worry and distress would have been unneccessary. Her working and leaving the kids with daycare when she desperately wanted to be home with them could have taken an emotional toll on her.
If he was afraid they would blow it, then tell her there is money and they are set for life. Let her live worry free and make choices based on that. Tell her it's a few million instead of the whole amount if she's truly reckless with money, but TELL HER!!! That was my point. 4951
