Former actress Lindsay Custodio narrated how she felt regret the moment she married her non-showbiz partner, Frederick Cale.
In an interview with Pep.ph, Lindsay shared how her wedding on May 13, 2022, which was supposed to be a memorable day, became one of the worst moments of her life.
Lindsay hinted that she had problems with Frederick’s financial decisions.
According to her, before their wedding reception, her husband forced her to pass by a bank first to use the cash gifts they received to pay for his loans, which he borrowed to finance their matrimony.
“Nag-open kami ng joint bank account prior to our church wedding. Nag-insist siyang pumunta kami sa bangko after the church wedding ceremony. Ang mga tseke sa bangko na-clear na at cash gifts ang pinambayad sa credit card niya,” she said.
Lindsay didn’t expect that Frederick would use the cash gifts they received to finance their wedding.
“I was against it talaga. I was expecting na nag-offer siya ng kasal so he should be prepared for it. Iaasa lang pala niya dun sa mga cash gift sa kasal,” she stated.
The former actress also said that her husband also forced her to use her personal account to contribute to the wedding.
“Sinabi ko sa kanya, puwede ba yung pera sa personal account ko, akin na lang, so I can use it for my personal expenses, like, emergency fund? Sabi niya, ‘Ay, hindi. I-withdraw mo yan. Dapat diyan ibayad mo sa credit card,” she narrated.
“Ang lakas ng boses niya. Siyempre, nagtitinginan yung mga tao. Ang takot ko noon, baka may mag-video sa amin, tapos i-post. So, I just agreed to what he wanted. Ibinayad sa credit card niya from the fund na idineposit namin sa joint account, pati yung sa personal account ko, ibinayad din,” she added.
It was already too late for Lindsay to realize the real personality of her husband.
“Hiyang-hiya ako sa sarili ko, pero dumiretso pa rin kami sa reception. Dun naman po sa reception, after the program was done, kinuha niya rin ang cash gifts na ibinigay sa amin at yun ang ipinambayad niya sa [additional] expenses,” she said.
“Nagsisisi na ako noon, ‘Bakit ganito yung napangasawa ko?’ Ang sa akin, nung panahon na yon, nahihiya ako dahil kasal na kami. Iniisip ko kung ano ang sasabihin ng mga tao. Parang biyuda ako, nagpakasal ako uli, tapos maghihiwalay lang kami. I really wanted to save the marriage,” she stated.
Several days ago, Lindsay filed charges against her husband – a possible move to end their marriage legally.
