🔗: https://on.wsj.com/4u2KSDz Marriages fall apart for any number of reasons. For Jessica Simon, the first signs that hers was in trouble showed up in the checking account she shared with her husband. At times, it would be a stray DraftKings charge. On other days, there would be more. Roughly nine years into their marriage, her frustrations with the sports bets reached a tipping point. The rift over money made clear how much they had both changed since they first started dating and had kids. Money, that eternal source of marital friction, offers a paper trail for the unraveling of countless marriages. Divorce lawyers say that what’s known as financial secrecy or infidelity is at the center of many splits. That can mean hiding when an income source dries up, keeping a secret bank account or giving in to any of the financial temptations that have proliferated in recent years, whether it’s sports betting, shopping apps or risky trades.
