My Husband Sent Me 45 Bills. After the 46th, I Left With Our Baby. When I was nine months pregnant, my husband sent me his forty-fifth payment request. Three hundred and fifty dollars-half of our HOA fee. That same day, I discovered he had spent $4,500 furnishing another woman's new apartment. He missed my final prenatal appointment because she needed him-needed him to kneel in a hospital hallway and tie her shoe. He thought I would pay, as I always had, and pretend nothing had happened. I did pay. Then I found the forty-four requests that came before it, saved every receipt, and contacted a lawyer. What he didn't know was that after the forty-sixth bill, I would take our baby and leave.
