A woman shared on Reddit about a disagreement with her husband over money. Despite agreeing to split expenses evenly, her husband unexpectedly asked her to pay for both their meals at a restaurant. The couple, married for four months, have differing spending habits. The husband lacks budgeting skills and prefers to keep separate accounts, which led to financial tension.
When they dined out, the husband claimed he was out of money and expected his wife to cover both meals. She reminded him of their agreement to split costs and paid for her meal. Afterward, he criticized her behavior. The wife suggested seeking therapy to resolve their issues, but her husband’s main concern was who would pay for it.Many Reddit users advised addressing financial problems early in the marriage, either independently or with professional help.
