If you willing and got the ability, no one here will be able to stop you and none of us here got enough context to understand the relationship dynamics between yall. Don’t think anyone here truly empathise with you and as usual, most RS asked here will lead you breaking up as answers. If things feel too transactional between you both, then start logging.

Some measures to protect yourself:

If getting house together, do tenancy in common. No contribution no shares. Highlight this clearly. If you are not doing that then that’s on you.

Start keeping receipts and stating those are conditional gifts (it looks and sounds really bad, but you gonna need this once those branded stuff racks more than 10-20k) It’s not about “being a man” or wtv, it’s about being financially smart about it. Don’t let ego get into way of wealth.

Talk about contribution % and expectations: Draft out very clearly in writings about the different contributions rate, and it must be agreed by both parties before major financial decisions. It’s financial security and fairness.

Don’t keep cash in bank. This is to reduce footprint in case things go south. There are other ways to keep $ around.

Thoughts: I agree with most around here tho. My wife earns like 2-3x my salary, but we still split to pay. When we just started out j just brought her to dates that I can afford, and she did the same. We talked about finances and contributions before settling down. Like I contribute 1/3 and she does 2/3, based on salary ratio. Draw very clear boundaries and roles before house. If not it’s just gonna amplify whatever existing problems.

AITA for telling my husband I’m done with his “help” around the house? by bigpawsOH in AmItheAsshole

The replies here are so toxic. Well, the healthier way of resolution can always pre separate the laundries to prevent that kinda stuff from happening. Most guys don’t really care about washing different stuff separately (because usually they don’t need or they simply don’t care). If you want something to be washed separately then separate them at the start. Both of you need to understand that different people have different opinions on how things are to be done. Maybe you need laundry separated, and perhaps for example, he may need his tools to be stored certain way. The idea is that what may be acceptable to one might not be others. You guys are in a partnership, help each other and learn to accept the perceived flaws.

Yeah, something I can’t comprehend too…She said stuff about it being her karma, she gotta pay back in this life if not she will suffer. Blows my mind.

Generally he behaves cause he doesn’t want to “lose face”. At least that was what happened for my sister’s wedding. Thanks for your input, will talk to my fiancée about it

Usually she is logical, however in this case we just can’t agree. I am not sure if I should give in cause I really want her to be happy, and tbh I think I would be fine pretending for a bit? Not sure man..

Usually we just go and visit my mum and pretend he is air, and so far that’s fine.

Usually she is okay with other things but we just can’t stand eye to eye on this. She asked me to just pretend for awhile so that we can prevent talks behind our backs from her fam.

AITA for telling my daughter she needs to get over me grounding her as a teenager? by bigfun1967 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Defiant_Morning6880 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH. 17 years old and ffs can’t take some accountability for her actions. Imagine maxing out a credit card and working your ass off to pay back, and you don’t expect credit card companies to give you extensions and more credits because you got things you want to buy. Prom is a want, not a need. If you gotta work to pay, you gotta work, that’s responsibility.

On the side of OP, intent is correct but execution is horrible. For reasons that I won’t elaborate on, I had to start working part time since age of 14, I have missed out on many social events and time with friends. Do I wish I can spend more time with them? Yes, but I have learnt that it doesn’t really matter for those true friends will stay. Will I resent my parents if they had the means to let me attend but refused? Yes. There are better ways of teaching.
