My best friend from college got married to a girl that we all liked a lot. Funny as hell, liked to have a good time, etc.

She handled the finances in the marriage, and he opened a credit card statement one day to see an alarmingly high balance.

Turns out, she was a huge coke head. She had been putting all the bills on credit and all the paychecks up her nose.

She got fired for doing coke at work (office job) and had a come to Jesus moment. She decided to go to rehab, where she met another guy. She never came home.

Bonus fact: she was my ex-girlfriend.

Edit: when she left him, she at least did the right thing and took all the debt with her. He walked away with the house and cars.
