I Lost to My Husband’s Ex Twelve Times—Then Found Out His Coin Had No Heads

"My husband used a coin toss to decide who controlled our money. Heads, I got my pay back. Tails, his ex-wife kept control of it.

Over the past year, I'd lost twelve times in a row. I had to wait for Vivian to send me money to buy groceries and forward her the utility bills before I could pay them. Even buying a box of tampons meant explaining why I'd already used up the ones from last month.

Why did his ex-wife get to decide how Nathan and I spent every dollar in our own home?

But whenever I questioned him, he'd wrap his arms around me, patient as ever.
