When we got married, my husband and I agreed that we won’t entertain visitors for for more than 1 week and they must inform us before coming.
10 months after our marriage, I lost my mum. Guess who had been accommodating my two younger ones for over 3 years?
We sometimes say things due to lack of experience, it is when life present us with the real deal that we know who our people are.
My cousin got married at 29.
Before the wedding, her fiancé told her clearly:
“I don’t believe in joint accounts. My salary is mine. Your salary is yours. We will split bills.”
She agreed.
Three years later, she lost her job.
Her husband paid all the bills without complaint for 8 months.
Then she got another job.
A year later, the husband lost his own job.
He expected her to take over while he got back on his feet.
She refused.
Her exact words:
“You said your money was your money and my money was my money. I respected that. Respect it now.”
Their families are divided.
Some say she is wicked.
Others say she is simply following the rules he created.
Who is wrong?
