This is why you must have separate accounts even if you think he's a HVM. You can never be too sure.

"I want to steal from my wife while she's grieving. Validate me! LOL y'all can't behave!"

coolestgirlyoueverme · 2020-05-06T23:55:31+00:00

Woman inherits large sum of money due years of hard physical labor and kind heartedness. Wants to spend it in a kind hearted way.

Her husband: I am married man, therefore I should get final say in what happens to this money. I have done nothing to obtain this money, but I am entitled to at least half

I hope his greed leads to his downfall.

Guaranteed if the tables were turned he’d seek a lawyer to keep her from touching a penny.

Wait__No__What · 2020-05-07T00:13:38+00:00

Inheritances are not considered community property. He has no right to ANY of her money. He will go to prison if he takes any of it.

Firefly10886 · 2020-05-06T23:51:46+00:00

Who is stupid enough to make large investments in this pandemic depression?

$5 says he’s going to try and invest it in the stock market

Edit: take legal action? Pretty sure his wife can hire a better lawyer than he could, and a divorce lawyer too, while she’s at it.

Imagine it the genders were reversed, MGTOW would have brigaded the sub and found OPs social security number to ruin their life. This is insanity

gogetawaythrowitaway · 2020-05-07T00:15:01+00:00

Oh my god 'while I am entitled to half of it'... Did I really just read that.

persephones_torch · 2020-05-06T23:51:01+00:00

And they say we're the gold diggers. Projection.

chasingxxsanity · 2020-05-06T23:34:11+00:00

" I am entitled to half of it." And this is why you don't get married without a prenup.

greenappletw · 2020-05-07T04:51:52+00:00

This is another case of why you can't treat men like women.

OP's wife was selfless and loving to the elderly lady. The elderly lady returned it in full.

The man though is ready to take legal actions aka divorce her if she doesn't hand over half.

I would bet that the wife has codependency issues. You can get away with being too nice and giving around your sisters and female friends. You cannot get away with it when it comes to men.

finance_lady · 2020-05-06T23:54:16+00:00

Yeahhhh if I ever do marry again I'm getting a prenup. If the man won't do it, he's not the one to marry. Plain and simple. Thankfully with my first marriage, we basically had nothing (not much money in the bank, rented a house and didn't own, no joint debt, etc) so I didn't lose anything with that, but that has now changed.

Also I bet this guy makes 75% of the income but makes her pay 50% of all bills, therefore he thinks he gets 50% of the inheritance too. Eyeroll.

eru378 · 2020-05-07T01:20:57+00:00

Men are astoundingly arrogant and entitled. I should be used to it by now, but each new story like this I read shocks me anew

FashionTech537 · 2020-05-07T00:42:13+00:00

Wow he thinks he is entitled?!? Like no! He wouldn’t share his inheritance with her.

Elegant-Stop · 2020-05-07T01:21:44+00:00

But of course only women are hypergamous...

chatrebelle · 2020-05-07T02:20:55+00:00

The. fucking. AUDACITY.

greensciencegeek · 2020-05-07T01:29:01+00:00

Half??? As if he'd do the same!

2020-05-07T03:36:58+00:00

Yes, never depend on a man, but if you are dependent on a man, put money away weekly just like you would if you had a job.

dzgata · 2020-05-07T01:12:18+00:00

A man will NEVER have access to my funds period. His money is our money and my money is my money. It’s my culture and I plan to keep to that way.

Nikita_kitty93 · 2020-05-07T02:27:31+00:00

What an entitled little man..

Chancedizzle · 2020-05-07T06:30:22+00:00

I hope she sees the light after all this and divorce him and do with the money as intended, good deeds and remembrance for the kind lady who may she rest in peace.

gcthrowaway2019 · 2020-05-07T03:12:09+00:00

How did he find out about this?!

BarbarianGlamGnome · 2020-05-07T05:15:14+00:00

Ew he’s a total gold digger

gabriellita · 2020-05-07T03:06:54+00:00

SIGH

greatcathy · 2020-05-07T06:27:07+00:00

JESUS!! Can't believe this one

ny-lady · 2020-05-07T11:00:19+00:00

This guy is a scumbag.

And people wonder why Im glad I never married...

Novemberinthechair · 2020-05-07T08:26:14+00:00

Pos.

ello-motto · 2020-05-07T11:39:23+00:00

The only joint account I'd ever create is for shared bills and expenses and couple oriented savings (holidays, future shared house etc).

Your own personal savings should be your own!

HottPinkSlug · 2020-05-07T14:44:37+00:00

Omg IMAGINE the backlash if it were a woman who had posted this about her husband

sexxxybae · 2020-05-07T18:39:43+00:00

He is actually not entitled to half of it. Inheritances are off limits in marriage. If she wants to share fine but it's hers and only hers. And the fact that he would take legal actions on his wife over inheritance that was a surprise! woww

These guys once there is any money look to invest invest invest even if it's not theirs. Why is a man counting his woman's money anyway? So he can look at his phone all day while the investments rise and drop?

IrritatedMango · 2020-05-07T10:48:25+00:00

Where's the link to this? I wanna see the comments.

helljess86 · 2020-05-07T13:29:51+00:00

He is a freaking thief.

Dimethylchlorine · 2020-05-07T16:44:34+00:00

Note to self: if I earn a large inheritance, keep that to myself

Lazy_Jacket500 · 2020-05-07T17:17:47+00:00

What a parasite... Do you imagine a woman writing: "I am entitled to half of it"? The comments would be on fire.

bagurl · 2020-05-07T17:20:59+00:00

HOW IS HE ENTITLED TO HALF OF IT.

hyacinthgirl95 · 2020-05-07T15:18:04+00:00

How do you marry such a terrible man, or have the years made him greedy?

ThatGirl60 · 2020-05-07T17:38:30+00:00

Sign a prenup no matter what.

throw_away_2071 · 2020-05-07T23:20:58+00:00

I’ve inherited money. It’s not marital assets. Know your legal rights ladies. Was married at the time and it drove my husband mad. Lol. But you know what, he was terrible with money and I knew better than to give him access to it. Thank god I didn’t because I used it years later to file for divorce. Thank you mom. ❤️

2020-05-07T17:08:34+00:00

What kind of man threatens legal action against his WIFE behind her back? WTF?!

TradcatAlice · 2020-05-07T23:58:59+00:00

Ugh. This is why I will be signing a pre-nup.

"While I am entitled to half [of her money]"

No, you're entitled to none of it.

Chammalia · 2020-05-06T23:45:11+00:00

Whuuuuut. Wtf is this. He's seriously entitled to half the inheritance? They are not getting a divorce.. Like, if they split the money and she uses her half and then they get a divorce, wouldn't she then be entitled to half of everything they have - including 'his' half that he invested? 🤔

I was totally enjoying reading the way the wife wanted to spend the money. Clearly, the elderly lady knew she would do this, which is why she chose her to inherit the money!

It's seriously disgusting that he don't want to honour the lady and donate some to charity. The wife's not even talking about using all of it. Of course he would be the asshole if he did that. He's also an asshole if he takes legal action behind her back 🤦‍♀️

2020-05-07T03:42:49+00:00

what is the u/ of the person who posted this?
