Is it wise to let your spouse know theyll get money when you die?

Question

I have hundred fifty-thousand on myself that my husband will get if i die plus my car,he has hundred fifty thousand for me also,but lately hes been making jokes about me dying,saying things like "haha your fever is 103,150thousand il be rich".is it so bad to worry hes up to something since people have been known to be killed due to insurance money/

Answer 1

Temptation is a terrible thing..... does he gamble?! The real question is do you think he's joking? You just have to trust your heart (and maybe your husband).

Answer 2

lol, dont let it worry you i do the same thing with my husband who also has a life insurance policy..its not meant to be mean or serious, he is just joking with you... Unless he has some noticeable sanity issues then you shouldnt have anything to worry about it. However if it does make you feel uncomfortable then you should say something to him about it. If he knows it bothers you he probably will stop as I am sure he loves you and cares about your feelings...

Answer 3

If your husband loves u that much then it wouldn't matter to him if he will get money or not when u die.

With my husband now i rather have him than his money when he gone it is like he is my all , he is all my world. So it wouldn't worth his money if i don't have him next to me. His smile, touch, talking giving advise.

That how u should feel and your husband too providing your love is strong. Think about it.

so don't be scared you can tell him and things should still be the same.

Answer 4

My ex-husband used to make cracks like that, too. Usually, you could tell by looking at his face that he was just teasing, as is his personality, so it didn't bother me. If it did, like when I was in labor (and making cracks about dying cause it hurt so bad both times) I told him that I did not find it funny coming from him, and he immediately stopped and apologized. I have had other boyfriends (since my split) that did not have the same teasing personality, so it was a lot more bothersome when they made cracks like that, and I told them not to do it again, they didn't realize that it bothered me til I told them. And they stopped out of respect for me. Simple as that.

Answer 5

You would think that your husband would value your life for much more than a measley $150,000. I dont know what your financial situation is but to me, I would much rather have a loving wife than not have her and have that money. In any event, depending on your financial situation and his ability to make some good money, I would be worried because, honestly, he shouldnt eve be thinking of that money.

Answer 6

He's probably just joking around - but if you actually are paranoid that your husband might be planning to "off" you - then there's some problems...either with you being paranoid, a serious marriage problem, or him being a diabolical insurance scammer. But seriously, he's probably just playing around, if it bothers you - be honest and let him know you don't like it.

Answer 7

its probably just a bad joke. my ex and i used to joke like that sometimes, like if i tripped over he would say 'wow i thought that hundred grand was coming my way!' and when he was really sick once and i brought him tea, i said 'dont worry, there is no rat poison in it, i dont need the money just yet'... stupid things like that lol. sometimes people joke about things that actually disturb them - like he could be joking about it cos talking about death and making life insurance policies and wills is kinda depressing! so joking about it can turn that around. i would imagine if someone really wanted to do soemthing bad, they would be acting all sweet as pie so their partner didnt know what they were up to. you can always tell your husband that you know he is joking but it creeps you out and you dont like joking about death... see how that goes.

Answer 8

yes , if no one knows about it the money is never claimed, and as far as the other part of ur question, unless he has shown signs of doing something, why are u worried, sounds like he is just joking around with u

Answer 9

Why don't you trust him? It sounds like it's probably a joke to me, but there are obviously some trust issues here if you think he's going to kill you. It's probably a good idea to sit down and talk to him.

Answer 10

Yes i feel you should let them know. I know that when my husband passes i will not be peniless at all but i dont ever want him to die and we do good with him alive too lol. I want to be the one to go first anyways!
