this was very touching to read and it's encouraged me to do the same. I don't have a wife or a fiance but I would never entrust them with this kind of sensitive material because there's a real risk of relationships souring. With family it's easier to deal with and it's easier to communicate instead of trying to bury things in order to not ruin a marriage.
"Hey Ma, need you to stop hiding grocery purchases under company's funds, if you wanna keep your job"
"But I'm your mother"
"Okay, alright, just don't do it again"
vs.
"Hey babe, need you to stop buying expensive items under company's funds"
"fine, since you don't love me you can marry someone else"
Here's a pro-tip. When you're finding a wife or a fiancé -- find one with integrity. I'm not sure I'd want to stay married to someone who could come out with that.

Phew! Sounds like you dodged a bullet there (marrying someone lacking basic moral integrity).
