Now that you have read the story. it’s time for you to see what Redditors had to say on this. Read till the end to see other people’s opinions on this. Don’t forget to share your own opinion at the end of this article too.

It’s unfair for her in-laws to expect her to pay for everyone without prior discussion or agreement. Walking out was a strong response to asserting her boundaries and standing up for herself.

Our in-laws should have respected your autonomy and not put you in an uncomfortable position.

Definitely NTA – It’s important to have clear expectations when it comes to splitting the bill.

What is this if not capitalization?

The husband is a walking red flag as he was talking about the inheritance money for a long. It should be of no interest to him yet he seems greedy.

And if OP doesn’t do that, they are gonna come for it.

Agreed to 100%.

Exactly. How come they get a say in how OP should spend HER money?

In this situation, communication is key. The in-laws should have informed OP about the expectation to pay for everyone beforehand, and OP should have communicated their budget limitations more clearly. Walking out without explanation may have been extreme, but it’s understandable given the situation. In the end, both parties could have handled the situation better.
