A 31-year-old woman has revealed that she refused to help pay for her husband’s medical bills, explaining that they do not share finances.
The unnamed woman was slammed by baffled people who asked why she and her husband even got married.
“We don’t share finances and we each contribute to household expenses equally and individually,” she wrote on Reddit. “He’s pretty adamant on being respected when it comes to money, meaning I should not be asking him for money to pay for personal stuff, and the same goes for him. Save for when it’s an emergency.”
The woman explained that when she decided to buy a dress for her sister’s wedding and found out that she didn’t have enough in her bank account, she called her husband who then refused to give her money.
“I called my husband to ask him for money but he refused even though he had the money,” she continued.
“I wasn’t upset… Well, yes I’m not gonna lie, I WAS upset about it ’cause I ended up buying a cheaper dress but I didn’t make a fuss or fight with him for not giving me money.”
Weeks later, her husband was involved in an accident and injured his knee.
“He asked if I could help him pay for the hospital bill because he didn’t expect to stay longer due to his injury but I refused, he begged but I said no was still no,” the woman continued.
“He tried to guilt me into paying by saying that I have money, and that he’s dealing with an emergency. I said his irresponsibility, whether with money or driving wasn’t my problem.”
Her husband received money from his mother, who was angry at her for refusing to help her husband pay his hospital bills.
Her post left many people questioning why they even decided to get married.
One person wrote: “This marriage is going nowhere. Get out now as neither of you are invested in the other.”
Another said: “Spouses help each other out, especially when it comes to injuries or something serious like this. The fact is you were absolutely being petty and cruel with him and that was uncalled for. I understand your stance, but that wasn’t the way to handle it.”
