Money complicates a lot of relationships.

There’s no denying that!

And the woman you’re about to hear from asked the fine folks on Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page if she is wrong about how she’s handling her finances with her husband.

Get the whole story below and see what you think.

AITA for refusing to share my business profit with my husband?

“I f32 have a leg disability that got worse to the point I could no longer work. So I stayed home with the kids for 4 years.

I had plenty of free time after the kids became more independent and I found myself sitting around all day long. I have a sewing hobby that I learned while living with my grandmother since I was 13.

She got busy.

So I started spending my time sewing. My husband made a laughing stock out of me calling me ‘granma” or “granny” and running with the jokes and teasing. It was unbearable but I ignored him.

Anyway, a friend of mine saw some of my works and suggested I open an website and sell what I make. I was hesitant about it and my husband’s opinion was “mehhh…who would want to buy granma’s junk?” but I asked my friend to help me and people really liked my works.

It was going well!

They started buying them off of me which was shockingly amazing y’all. I started really investing into this and in one month I was able to make over 200-300$. It’s been 3 months now into the business.

When money started coming my husband would ask me to buy something or make a restaurant resevation or even fix his car for him.

When I refuse he’d say that I have money from my sewing business and should really pay. I decline every. single. time. he asks.

She’s not having it.

Yesterday, he showed me a wrist watch online that he really liked and asked if I could pay for it. I said no because I have no money.

He pointed out once again the money I have from my sewing business but I told him that the money was literally “none of his business”.

Now he’s upset.

He blew up saying that I was being selfish and mean and said that the business profit SHOULD be split EQUALLY between BOTH of us (I use caps because he yelled those words) not just ME.

I told him he not only mocked me for sewing he even doubted my potentials. besides that I do all the work so, why would he expect profit?!?

He said that he as my husband gets half and I should really consider it or stop the sewing thing altogether. I laughed thinking he was messing around but he left the house then came back looking ****** off.

His friend called to “scold” me reminding me that my husband already “does” enough for me to be able to find time to sew and so he deserves a percentage but I still refused.

Now he’s family are pressuring me to share the money but I’m still refusing.

AITA?”
