My new wife never told me she is $160K in debt - now we are married she wants me to clear it for her

A groom is already in six-figures worth of debt after being married for only two days.

The newly married man, 24, has turned to Reddit to ask how he should handle the significant debt that he only learned about as a newlywed. 

'I just got married yesterday, and last night my wife drops the bomb on me that she has $160k in debt between school, judgements, cars and credit cards,' he wrote.

'She’s pressing really hard that it’s “our” money now and she’s expecting me to withdraw everything and put it towards her debt, per Dave Ramsey who she’s been apparently following for years.'

With $120,000 in investments and $30,000 in his savings, the 'incredibly p*****' groom has no idea what to do.

A newly married man, 24, created a Reddit post on March 11 and described new information that his wife, 29, shared with him after their wedding

The newlywed revealed in his post that he 'wouldn't have even thought marriage to be an option' if he had known about his new wife's money problems.

'We did discuss them a year ago when I first proposed, and she told me she was debt-free. We’re filing with the court later today if that makes a difference,' he wrote.

Since the bride told him the truth, the two haven't spoken to each other.

The Reddit post has gone viral and it's made his angry bride leave in 'a firestorm' after he told her that he decided to not file their marriage certificate with the court.

According to the man, she 'broke a lot of things on the way out' and allegedly told him that she plans to sue him for 'wasting her time and pain and suffering.'

'It’s s*****, but onto the next I guess,' he wrote.

Although the two of them might not be married for much longer, the groom can breathe a little easier since he is likely not responsible for her debt.

If the bride had $160,000 in debt before she and her groom got married, than she is financially responsible for the money she owes and not her husband

According to Experian, community property, such as 'assets and income are also considered equally shared.'

Regarding community property, there are currently nine states in which someone is responsible for their spouse's debt, which includes Arizona, California, and Texas.  

However, if the new bride had $160,000 in debt before the marriage, then it remains her own 'individual obligations.'

'Exactly how spouses share responsibility for new debts taken on after marriage depends in part on state laws and the type of debt,' an Experian blogger wrote. 

'You are usually responsible for your spouse's debts accrued after marriage if you became joint account owners or co-borrowed a loan with your spouse, either before or after marriage.'

Other Reddit users have flooded his post with comments about the bride and one person even called the man her 'debt reduction plan.'

Social media users have been backing up the groom and have dissed the bride and her actions. They've also suggested that he get an annulment 

'I would seriously consider if she married you solely for the fact you can pay off that massive debt,' one Reddit user wrote.

'I'm not saying she is. But if you had previously told her of your investments and she then decided to withhold that information, I would be very suspicious.

Other users have been suggesting the groom 'run' and that he get an annulment. 

'I'd cancel the marriage as quick as you can behind her back so that she doesn't have a say anymore before you discuss why she lied to you about a lot of debt,' a commenter wrote.

'This way she has no power plays if she rages of having no control or getting caught.'
