A healthy marriage means no secrets, especially about finances.

This woman was shocked that her husband owed thousands in child support.

It was automatically deducted from her tax refund, so now, she is fuming.

He doesn’t seem to understand why she’s so upset.

AITAH for being angry my tax refund paid off my husbands child support

My husband and I filed our taxes jointly this year.

It was for the past two years.

I was unaware that he had $7,000 in unpaid child support.

I thought he was making regular monthly payments.

We were expecting a refund, but only $175 was deposited.

This woman felt blindsided by her husband.

I feel blindsided, violated, and taken advantage of.

When I brought this up, he dismissed my feelings.

He told me I should be grateful because the child support is now paid off, and it means he can contribute more money each month.

His argument doesn’t make sense.

That logic doesn’t make sense to me.

His child is still under 18, so he still has to make ongoing payments regardless.

I feel physically ill.

He is making it out like she’s overreacting.

He is not supportive of how I’m feeling whatsoever.

He is actually angry at me for how I am responding.

AITA?

Maybe filing jointly was the big mistake.
