Sometimes, money can cause problems in relationships, especially when one partner has a lot more than the other. This happened to Darren soon after he got married.
\nDarren, a young man with much less money than his wife\u2019s family,
\nfound himself in an awkward and embarrassing situation that led to a big emotional reaction. Darren contacted us for advice.<\/p>\n
My wife\u2019s family is very wealthy while I\u2019m a regular employee who lives from paycheck to paycheck,<\/p>\n
so for our wedding, it was natural that her dad covered everything.
\nWhen we got on the plane for our honeymoon, she sat first class, and I realized my ticket was economy.<\/p>\n
She shrugged and said, \u201cThis sucks baby, but Dad says he\u2019s not your money machine.\u201d
\nFurious, I left her on the plane. Hours later, I get the most horrific call from her dad .<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t believe it when he said, \u201cI gave you a dream wedding and a dream honeymoon and didn\u2019t ask you for a dime. Is this how you treat my daughter?
\nHe added, \u201cMy daughter is used to a certain lifestyle, and I\u2019m going to keep giving her that,<\/p>\n
but you need to understand that I will not provide for you too!\u201d<\/p>\n
His words only made me more furious. I told him that I cannot accept being humiliated just because I am not rich like them and hung up on him.
\nMy wife tried to convince me to go on the honeymoon on the next flight, but when I refused,<\/p>\n
she decided to come back home so we can talk.<\/p>\n
Am I wrong to react this way? Yours, Darren<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
