Money is such a thing that it can make and break families.
Whether you agree or not but that’s a bitter reality. People can go to any extent for money. A husband took to Reddit to share how he and his wife had their daughter 5 years ago and they both decided that OP’s wife would not work from now on and look after their daughter. She left the job and OP agreed that he will take care of the finances. After some years, OP’s wife decided that she will start a business but that could not happen due to COVID.
A year later, OP’s FIL died and left two houses in inheritance. They sold one house and decided to live in the other one. OP thinks that his wife should use that money and contribute to the expenses of the house but OP’s wife told him “no” as she wants to save this money and want to give it to her daughter in the future. They had an argument and fight over the money. Scroll down for the complete story.
1. OP has been married to his wife for six years. When OP’s wife was pregnant, they decided that she won’t be working from now on. In 2020, OP’s wife wanted to stop being a STAHM and start her own business.

OP is behaving like an immature man here. They both agreed that OP would be taking care of the finances. Why does he want his wife to contribute now?

OP’s wife has made a rational decision and he should apologize to his wife.
