For eight years, Mr. Liu from China pinched every penny, lived like a monk in a cheap rental, and handed his entire savings (over $163k) to his wife for “security.” Turns out her idea of security was tipping a male livestreamer 670,000 yuan ($94k) plus borrowing more to keep the virtual love alive—calling him “baby” in chats while the family drowned in debt. Wife admits obsession, can’t explain the rest of the cash, husband feels “stabbed in the back,” and now he’s divorcing to claw back whatever’s left. Livestream romance: 1, marriage: 0.
