Wife finds out husband secretly has $7,000 in unpaid child support after filing taxes, he pretends he didn’t know, despite blindsiding her: “He set you up and hid information from you”

Hey there, internet schemers. No one likes to feel betrayed. Finding out you've been living under an illusion can make one physically ill. When you find out about lies and deceit from the person who's supposed to be your absolute trustworthy partner can feel like a stab in the heart, and it can spiral the entire relationship. You start wondering what else they're lying about, and every word that comes out of their mouth lacks the same conviction as it did before the reveal. It doesn't matter what it's about, and of course we all make white lies here and there, but when it comes to your spouse or partner, there's absolutely no reason to lie to them.

Getting a divorce with children can be messy. No one appreciates the headache of bureaucracy involved, or the annoying visits to lawyers. This is all of course outside of the emotional toll not only on you, but on your entire family.

The story below combines a complicated divorced man paying child support, as well as betrayal. The protagonist finds out something incredulous that she can't even believe. Read the full story for all the juicy details.

It's so terrifying to feel like your husband or wife has been lying to your face. Not only lying to your face, but taking advantage of you on purpose. It could be grounds for divorce, which is so sad, and not an easy decision to make for anyone. It depends on their entire relationship, and if she feels like there are other things going on.
