My husband and I just went on a trip to Asia. Since he is cheap with money, and controlling with it, I needed to take a few hundred dollars from him then as he hides his money well and even threatened to take my name off our joint account if I took any money out before the trip. He did this before a few times in the past too. I know this sound bad, but it's not OK that he had all that money and gave me nothing at all as to control what I spend, ugh. I hate that.

I was able to take a few hundred from the bank here and there once in awhile in the past, but only when he wasn't super stressed about money, and not more often than a couple times a month.

Anyways, I was able to take $750 from him as I had NOTHING on me before we left. My cards were maxed out too. I needed it for security. To my horror, I just found out that it's ALL gone aside from $4.00! WTH? I had my purse on me almost all the time. He did count his money most of the time, and he never complained about any missing money.

Only HE had access to my purse at all times. BUT I DID leave it in the hotel room when it was locked of course when we went to swim and eat breakfast at the buffet in the hotel. I normally took it with me as I don't trust the maids to not look through my purse when they can see that we're gone. Also, it's a messenger bag, so I had it slung across me at all times.

I never left it unattended except for the times when I had to store it in the overhead compartment during the flight. That was a big mistake. I slept some of the time on the long flights, and so did he. Could a passenger could've stolen it then? It was in a small wallet, and I didn't flash it, so that's weird. I only spent a small amount of money in U.S dollars there. I find it hard to believe that it all fell out at one point.

Maybe he knew that I took his money and stole it back? I don't know what to think. He asked me how much I had, so I lied and said it was for $200. He thinks that it's my fault and that I misplaced it. He didn't seem to upset about things.

Is it possible that a maid or a sneaky passenger stole it when we were asleep? Has this ever happened to anyone before on a trip? This is why I'll NEVER EVER leave my purse in a hotel room or in an overhead airplane bin ever again! It'll always be on me from now on! AND I'll hide it in a different place than my wallet! I should stash it in a tin of mints instead. Not to many people would think to look there, lol! ****!!!! This sucks! That's a lot of money to me!

IF someone did steal it, how were they able to steal it, especially if it was a passenger on a plane with other people around, and most of all, with us right there?
