Never rely on a man’s money, Maggie Smith writes in a recent Modern Love column.
In the article, the 46-year-old poet describes how her husband withdrew half of the couple’s savings after a big argument. He was ready to divorce her, and says that his attorney advised him to do this.
Smith was understandably shocked. But what really got to her was that she willingly and happily allowed her husband to handle their finances and she was pretty clueless about everything money related in their marriage.
