How would a wife feel and what should she do if she accidentally found out her spouse has a different bank account with a woman's name on it?
- Just because your husband has a bank account with another woman's name on it doesn't necessarily mean that he has been cheating. It could well be a relative such as an aunt or someone else in the family who needs assistance in their finances. If you know the full name of the woman then check it out first by looking in the phone directory to see if her name is there or, hire a detective for those times your husband is not around and may be cheating before accusing your husband of cheating. If you cannot find out who this woman is then confront your husband calmly to find out who it is on the joint account. If it is another woman or he gets angry you know then he probably is cheating and you will have to make your future decision on this.
