Nothing tears marriages a part like financial issues and secrecy. The OP in this story may have started with good intentions by trying to help his sister get a dress for her special day. But it was naïve and risky. He took money out of his wife's savings and thought his sister would pay them back within two days. You can probably guess what really happened. The moral judges of Reddit are shaking their heads in disbelief over this guy and his sister, tbh.

    Facial expression - AITA for borrowing some money from my wife's savings account?

    Font - My wife and I have joined finances but she has a savings account her grandpa set up for her before he passed. It's around 40k in savings. We both work IT jobs and get paid fairly well (I want to note that we do not live in America so wages differ).

    Font - Shes stated to me that that money are for either an emergency or in case we plan on buying our own house. She said that in case I need money for an emergency I'm allowed to use. I also have access to the account but so far I didn't use anything.

    Font - 2 months ago my sister asked me to lend her 5k because she wanted to pay for her wedding dress but her card had expired and kept declining. I lend her 5k

    Font - but since I didn't have the full amount of my own paycheck, I borrowed money from my wife's savings. My sister said she'd pay me back once her new card was ready which would take less than two days. I didn't tell my wife this because I'd replace the money in two days.

    Font - It's been 2 months now and my sister is putting off on giving back the money she borrowed. She keeps finding excuses on why she couldn't give it back every time. My wife hasn't checked the savings account in ages but what if she happens to check it and she figures out 5k is missing?

    Font - My best friend says I am honest with her and I should accept the consequences of my own actions for not notifying my wife and not letting her know about the money missing. AITA? I feel very guilty for this and for trusting my sister.

    Font - Mirewen15 · 19 hr. ago 3 S 3 My dress was less than $500 and is from a very well known wedding shop. $5k on a dress that you will only wear once is egregious. OP was naive and now owes that money back. OP YTA - Tell your wife, apologize and ask about a reimbursement plan to put that money back. If I was your wife I would remove you from being able to use the account that money is in, you cannot be entrusted with proper decision making. 4 9.3k Reply Share Report Save

    Font - Binky390 · 17 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [11] $5K on a dress is fine if it's what you want and you can afford it. Spending $5K on the dress isn't the issue. The issue is she didn't have it and scammed her brother out of it and her brother had to steal it from his wife. What a mess. I would never trust either one of them again if I was OP's wife. 548 Reply Share Report Save
