  1. Talk to wife about her cash stash

    DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I just found out my wife has a secret account with $16,000 and change in it. I'm so shocked I haven't mentioned it to her yet, and of course I found out because I snooped and I'm not sure how to bring that up. I was looking for something else in her lingerie drawer (never mind what -- not the issue here) and came across a little book with the entries. It dawns on me she has enough money to leave me any time she wants. But, I don't have anything that's held secret from her. Shouldn't we both be totally open about our money? How do I approach her about this secret cache? Could she be looking to leave me? -- Nervous Husband, Fort Garry Winnipeg Free PressPRINT | 21/11/2009 1:00 AM | 0
