Wife Loses Money in Stock Market; Husband Wants Divorce

Wife Loses Money in Stock Market; Husband Wants Divorce

Posted to by Maureen Dempsey on Mon, 10/20/2008 - 1:52pm

A homemaker from Ahmedabad, India, is facing grim prospects — both financially and matrimonially. According to The Times of India, the woman lost more than $60,000 in the plummeting stock market last week, and her husband is threatening divorce.

The 34-year-old wife and mother trades stocks in her free time and says her husband encouraged her hobby, even benefiting from her profits. But when the market took a nosedive, her husband said he'd rather leave than help shoulder the financial burden.

Now that doesn't sound like a case of "for richer or poorer," does it?

Just last week, we reported on the stress that money places on relationships — but it sounds like more is at play than financial burden. If a partner so quickly threatens to dissolve a marriage, perhaps this was the easy "out" he was hoping would come along?
