A shiny penny

After I did my taxes, I was feeling a bit down because I found out my husband went to do his taxes without even telling me about it. And I was also bummed that I spent more money to do the taxes than the amount I will get for filing.
On the way to the train from the tax place I found a shiny penny. I decided to pick it up for good luck. I wonder if luck will come my way. And if it will, in what form?

I get that we’re separated but still he should’ve told me. And I was reporting interest from OUR joint bank accounts. To spend $155 to do that is not something I wanted to do. Of course, I’m glad it didn’t cost more than that.

I found a penny today as well near the Russian store. I put it in the shopping bag but now I don’t see it there. Maybe it fell out.

@Ineeddentures I am not devastated that I can’t find it, but I am curious what happened. The shopping bag didn’t have any holes in it. Maybe it fell out in my mother‘s house when I was taking stuff out of the bag.

I hope it does and in a very good way. I wish I still had my tax refund to look forward to.

He should have toald you about it for sure, Yes, that shiny penny will bring you luck, Straight from the iNternet
Finding shiny pennies is often associated with good luck and positive spiritual messages. In various cultures, especially in folklore, a penny found heads-up is considered a sign of fortune, suggesting that good things are on the way, such as new opportunities or financial boosts

Unfortunately, I don’t remember if it was face up or face down.

I feel the same as Amber. I'm sorry he's so inconsiderate.

Regardless of things, at least while we’re still officially married, things that concern both of us should be discussed together. But he’s not doing that. Of course it’s screwed up that he doesn’t care about me at all because he doesn’t reach out but at least things that concern both of us should be of importance to him. It doesn’t seem that way. He is living his life as if I don’t exist or maybe even never did.

@LindaOHio it is wrong and strange behavior. And I don’t get how someone who spent 11 1/2 years with the same person can just leave and forget about that person‘s existence. Unless I’m wrong, but it seems like I don’t cross his mind at all.

Lena, he isn't going to be considerate. He should, but he is all about him and it doesn't appear he is going to change. What he did is not fair to you. You have to make your own decisions...I remember you said something about legally having to wait a year for abandonment, but get that lined up and ready to file. I would file it the day the year was up! You need to get on with your life, it's just not fair to you.
I hope the luck comes your way!!!

I wonder though how can you actually prove when he left? Meaning the date. Regardless of why he left me (I don’t even know exactly why) he should still be civil with me and important things that concern both of us should still be talked about, especially if we are still officially married.
Granted, perhaps I shouldn’t have waited for him to contact me about income tax and contacted him myself first… but I don’t know if that would’ve changed anything. Like I don’t know if he would’ve replied to my text. And he probably wouldn’t want to file joint anyway.

@MarieCoyle I may have old texts where I tell someone when he left. I’ll have to look into that.

You deserve to have a life, and he isn't being kind or considerate. Maybe you can't prove when he left. Do you have old texts with someone, like your Mom or brother, about it? It would also be easy to prove you now have no income and he isn't helping you, either.
