I did ask him about the money. He told me that I probably misplaced it. I looked everywhere, and I didn't take the money out of the small wallet ever. I only used a small amount for water and stuff like that in the airports mostly.

Even IF he DID take it, he would never tell me about it. I forgot to mention that we did hire a driver and a tour guide in one country, and it is possible that I might have briefly left my purse in the car. Not likely, but it's possible. I'm normally cautious and careful.

I just did some research on common ways that money gets stolen on trips, and to my surprise, some thieves, especially in the poorer countries are desperate and very bold. Some hotel maids can steal stuff from the safe or room. So I learned of a few good ways to keep that from happening. Always leave the t.v on, the curtains closed, the do not disturb sign on, and bury stuff in a locked luggage. Same with the plane.

The funny thing is that I still have 4 U.S dollars left in my wallet along with 4 Singapore dollars. We went to Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore, so I'm sure that the money was stolen in either Vietnam or Thailand. That's why the Singapore dollars were left behind probably.

Weird! How the hell was someone able to steal money in a zipped wallet inside a zipped bag that was near me or on me most of the time? I think that a very bold and desperate thief on one of the long flights did it. I stupidly stored my purse in the overhead bin after my husband told me to store it there against my wishes, ugh! Stupid me! Stuff like this is actually common on long flights. Thieves have been caught acting like they're going through "their" luggage or "bags" when most people are sleeping. They look for targets from the back of the plane then wait for the right moment to steal their stuff. Also, it's not safe to leave stuff under the seat to where the passenger in back of you can access it easily. This might sound a bit paranoid, but this stuff does happen on trips. Now I know what secure luggage is, and I'll use it next time.

Never leave a purse or laptop bag unattended at any point, especially on a long flight. Never again! And I'll be sure to split money up and hide it in different places like in a tin of mints next time and only carry a small amount of cash in my real wallet for small purchases. I'm really upset about this.

I doubt that it was my husband after all now. And as for our financial situation, my credit cards are maxed out because I have only three very low limit credit cards. He has other bills to pay, and mine aren't his first priority. He has even made late payments to the insurance company before a few times. He never ever goes to the Drs., so that's not important to him. We did fight about that a few times. He would normally blame the insurance company and claim that he paid them, but the fact was that he only made up for the late payments most of the time. Thankfully I'm covered for now. We are not in the best financial situation now. I know that sounds weird to how we went on a trip considering, but the places we went to were mostly inexpensive ones, and he's great at finding deals on hotels and stuff like that.

He is controlling with money usually, and there isn't much that I can do about that. He's at his worst when we have a lot of bills to pay. I get that, but he can be to extreme at times. He always paid for what I needed, so I didn't need to bug him for money. Still, over here, it's not fair that he puts me on a budget and threatens to take me off our joint account if I go over a certain amount, ugh!

I'm sick now, but I'm going to this free therapy place that's half an hour away from me when I get better and hopefully they can help me with that and a few other issues. I hope that the they're good for a free place.

He doesn't trust me with money. I'm not that irresponsible. He's just controlling and stingy at times, ugh.
