Separated due to financial stress

My husband's response to my medical expenses revealed a lack of support and understanding.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew he would prioritize his own financial comfort over my medical needs."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate openly about financial expectations and responsibilities in a relationship."
