A woman living in Los Angeles with her husband was love-bombed into marriage only to find out the guy is planning to "bleed her dry" off her wealth. She told MarketWatch that she is planning her escape after five years and has a 401(k), $140,000 in a savings account, and owns a home she bought for $900,000 before marriage.

"He turned into a monster days after our wedding," she said.
