Angie says her 25-year marriage to her husband John is on a downward spiral, that they're constantly fighting, and that he has a tendency of keeping secrets from her.
John found success by selling stocks and ended up inheriting $88,000. He says his only real intention for the sudden burst of income was to use it for a "good time."

But here's the thing: He never told Angie about the money — or how he'd been spending it all behind her back.
Verywell Mind writes: "One of the common warning signs or red flags in a marriage is lying about money. Even though one in three Americans admits to lying about money to their spouse, the issue is too important to avoid. Small lies about finances can lead to even more damaging behaviors in your marriage."
It was only when John accidentally butt dialed Angie that she heard his private conversation and learned about his secret inheritance for the very first time.
Now John says he's ready to come clean and is also owning up to his sneaky ways.
In the video below, Dr. Phil shares the accidental butt dial that led to John's confession.
