Flashback: Heartache

"I need to ask you something?" I asked Sarah. We were still married at the time and I was about Todd's age. It was just a curious question. I didn't expect howling consequences. "Why do you always use my money?"

"Why do you ask such stupid questions?" Sarah asks as she puts Harmony to bed. "We're married. Your money is my money and what's mine is yours."

"You always take my purse and at the end of the day, there's more money in it then there was in the morning. But my bank account is always empty. Is everything all right?"

Sarah kicked the chair and threw an ornament in my face. "It's none of your business."

"OF COURSE, IT'S MY BUSINESS!" I didn't mean to shout, but ceramic clash against my forehead hindered my judgement. "You're out all day and you leave everything to me, but still spend my money. We can't live like this. Something isn't right and you have to tell me."
