Being in a committed relationship is hard work that requires constant communication, or else things are bound to go south.
Whether you’re just starting your journey, or you’ve been together since school – it’s crucial to remember that, in reality, the only person you’ve truly got is yourself.
Quite frankly, every unforeseen complication that occurs in your little family, whether it’s something to do with finances or any other unexpected troubles, can trigger a conflict that’ll show you your partner’s true colors.
Finding yourself in such a situation can be upsetting, as we all want to believe that the person we’re devoting our life to is a reliable human that’ll promise us emotional support whenever things get rocky.

Sometimes an unexpected situation can trigger the appearance of your partner’s true colors

The woman began her post by revealing that she’s currently unemployed for the first time since she was a teen; she said that even prior to switching jobs, she’d usually have other opportunities lined up, meaning that there was never a break between pay checks.

Her husband, on the other hand, is known for having dry spells, where he’d be jobless for months – moreover, whenever he does get a job, he never sticks with it for more than 6 months. The author also added that she didn’t quit her job voluntarily; the company went bankrupt, and they didn’t inform the employees until the very last minute.
It’s been 1 month without a steady income; however, the woman’s been searching endlessly, and because the man’s forced to use the OP’s car to get to work due to a blown engine on his vehicle, it complicates the whole process, as the woman is now stuck searching for remote positions only.
The spouse recently got a promotion, and ever since, he’s been breathing down the OP’s neck. He is well aware that the woman is very devoted to job-hunting, yet he doesn’t miss a chance to nag.

Besides, the man also seemed to start the whole “my money” argument whenever it was convenient for him. For instance, when he referred to taxes, they would be both of theirs, but when it came to other things, then everything miraculously became his.
The woman then mentioned that he had no problem living off of her money throughout the entire time he was unemployed.

On one of the days, the man made another comment that simply infuriated the OP.
It was the last straw, so she took her car and left to go to the bank to withdraw every penny she had in that shared account. The woman immediately transferred everything to an account he can’t touch, leaving the husband with a little over $900.
Naturally, the man flipped out and called the OP “financially controlling.”
