I Caught My Husband in a Lie Before We Got Married, But I Let It Go. Now It Still Haunts Me.
"He told me he never called other phone sex operators anymore once we were together, but when we combined our finances (and I'll note here he was visibly nervous to do so), I noticed that there were a lot of charges for the company where we met-and they weren't to me. Even once we were engaged! I talked to him about it when I noticed it, and he denied that they were for calling other operators."
"He said he must have had some automatic withdrawals set up that he forgot about. For a variety of reasons (timing, amounts), I was unconvinced, but let it go. I thought maybe he really doesn't monitor his finances that closely, and I wanted to trust him. Now that we've lived together a while, I see that he does indeed stay on top of his spending, another clue that he was being dishonest."
A 50-year-old woman met a caller while working as a phone sex operator and fell in love; he fell for her too. Financial necessity forced continued calls until he could move in, which made him jealous and suspicious that she enjoyed the work. She insisted the calls were work, drudgery, and sometimes felt more like friendship than sex. After he moved in and she quit the calls, she discovered numerous charges to the company they met through on their combined accounts. He denied the charges, claiming forgotten automatic withdrawals, but later evidence of his financial attentiveness suggested dishonesty and left her hurt and mistrustful.
