Too Much Takeout? Man Divorces Wife Over DoorDash Habit

A man complained on Reddit that his wife “egregiously” spent over $1000 on Doordash in 1 month.

In October, someone posted on Reddit that his marriage was falling apart due to his wife’s excessive spending on food delivery apps. He said his spouse spent $1,176 ordering food from delivery apps in just a month, after which he decided to “cut my wife off from our finances.”

Yes, that is a LOT of money, especially if you can’t afford it.

He cut off his wife from the credit cards and joint accounts. But she went to another level:

However, the Redditor said all of this stopped after a few days. He thought his life was returning to “normal” — until he checked the garbage bin outside his home.

“When I took the last bag out before taking the bin down to the curb, I discovered half a dozen fast food bags and other takeout containers in it,” he said.

The Redditor said since her wife was not ‘supposed” to have access to money, he confronted her to ask about how she was able to afford all the takeout food. After a lot of probing and questioning, he found out that his wife had taken a loan.

Honestly, it sounds like an addiction.
