A couple who kept finances separate faced tension when the husband, celebrating a work bonus, expected his wife to pay for his family dinner. She refused, paid only for herself, and left, sparking a fight. He hadn’t received the bonus yet and promised to repay her, but she was furious he assumed she’d cover it. His family called her bitter; he claimed she’d pay if roles were reversed.
On Reddit, users backed her, but showing him the comments worsened their rift. He accused her of hiding her higher income (she said it was minor). Commenters flagged his poor planning and manipulation, questioning his financial responsibility.
