Financial struggles can put a strain on any relationship.

This woman shares that her husband lost his job, and he wants her to take out a loan.

She doesn’t want to do it, but should she?

Read the story below for all the details.

AITA For refusing to take out a loan so my unemployed husband can pay alimony?

My husband lost his job 6 weeks ago.

He says that “we” have to take out a loan.

This is to pay our rent until he finds a job because his unemployment will all go to his ex-wife.

This woman’s husband wanted her to apply for a loan.

He’s got bad credit and is employed, so he wants me to go thousands of dollars into debt so that we/I won’t get evicted because he is paying $2500 a month in alimony to his ex.

His ex doesn’t work, and his kids in their 30s also don’t work.

Am I the jerk here?

Because he’s really annoyed at me for not “believing” in him.

Her husband better get another job fast!

Marriage is about teamwork, but taking out a loan should be discussed first.
