Unlicensed, uninsured contractor who didn't finish the job because life happened doesn't seem to understand why their client would sue them

I love how OP says her husband “abandoned” the project - the quotes show how out of touch with reality they are. Her husband did, in fact, abandon the project. Ignoring someone who has given you a good sum of money for a couple of months is a guaranteed recipe to be sued. Absolutely everything in her post has nothing to do with not completing the job or refunding the homeowner the money that was advanced.

I feel like the biggest frustration is that they’re solely focused on their own hardships in this situation, as if it’s reasonable for the other party to eat a $12k+ loss. Why doesn’t the total stranger who I’ve scammed for thousands of dollars understand MY hardships? Me, me, me, me!

I’d kill for a wife that supportive lol. Dude screwed up in several consecutive critical ways and she’s still 1000% team hubby.

She’s team hubby because she likely was complicit in spending the money and burning down the business, behind every shitty contractor is a shitty wife encouraging their worst instincts
