This is a throwaway since I know some people on reddit and its an embarrassing situation.
A little background...we've been married for 3 years now and we have been arguing lately and it finally came to a head on Thanksgiving so my wife is in the process of moving out. I make about 45k and she makes about 65k. The gist of the arguments is that she has blown up mine and her credit cards to where we are now living paycheck to paycheck. I have about 32k in credit card debt that Im drowning in and she wont tell me how bad hers is but due to her bills I think shes close to that as well. Once she takes her paycheck away from the account I wont be able to pay my credit cards. We own a house and I think there is about 40k in equity. My 401k has about 80k in it. I also have a car paynent of $390 a month.
I've been thinking that I should take a hardship out of my 401k to clear the credit cards. That would give me the ability in the short term just to survive. If we do get a divorce then we will sell the house and I guess split the equity. As we stand right now my credit card bills are all due on the 15th. Any advice here would be amazing because I literally havent been able to sleep or eat because of this. I never thought the woman who has been my bestfriend would just walk out. Thanks!
