The $5,000 withdrawal



A bone of contention early on is when Terri brings up to Miles the withdrawal of $5,000 from their joint bank account (couldn't tell if she said savings or checking). And Miles admits he hadn't told her and he did it to pay for recording studio time. I've never been married or held a joint anything with anyone. Was Terri so angry because he hadn't discussed it with her beforehand, or because of the amount? Like I said, I've never shared money or stocks or any wealth with another person, so I'm not sure what ticked her off so.

I think it was a combination of not discussing it with her in advance and what he was using it for. She was confident that he could have been a better attorney and that he was wanting to pursue music full time.

Alright, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
