In ruin but stick to the truth
I don't know where to start. It was very, very difficult day for me. Morning didn't predict anything wrong. More, I found a book for my Wife.But there came a letter that dropped me very low.Last year I had some issue with income tax. I made a mistake in declaration, after correcting I had to pay some extra cash I didn't have at the moment. It took me few months to collect it. I paid the amount with interest but it seemed that as I had some delays earlier that year, the interest was higher than I'd expected. So again - I paid the difference. On a declaration I put my Wife in first place - just to honour Her. If I could only guess how much trouble it will cause...Today (well, no longer actually, but I'll stick to this) there came a summon to the tax office as we've made a tax misdemeanou. It was saying we'll be fined for this. The problem is that it summons my Wife, not me - as She is the first one on the declaration! I can do nothing, She has to go to the Tax Office, She will have to answer everything... I could hardly find out what was the reason for this summon.In the past I would have hid this for at least few days. Just to obtain few more "normal" days. But today I did the contrary. I have shown the letter as soon as my Wife was back home. I explained everything I had already found out, including possible fines. She got mad. She accused me that I forced Her on first position in declaration on purpose, just to put Her in such situation. She told me that She had decided that She wanted a divorce as there is "something" everyday (wich isn't actually true - yet "something" happens really to often). I am to move out (there is no actual date for that).I could do nothing to avoid this situation. I feel proud of myself - I didn't lie in a very difficult situation in wich I used to lie. But that still doesn't stop me from feeling down, as my relationship goes worse and worse. I know it won't improve until I pay all my debts but it isn't so easy. Right now I'm looking for a job while the total sum of debts is about twice as high as usual annual income in my country...Not good...

Great job for not lying. I understand the need to lie in this situation but awesome job for not. I\'d give your wife a few days to calm down and maybe talk about it to see if she still feels the same. For the debt you owe do what you can and keep your head high and don\'t let it get you down I know it is easier said than done but remember you can do it. Pray, I find myself in difficult situatiions I pray and it helps. Keep your faith and it will work out.
