There’s no doubt about it…

Money can cause a lot of problems in a relationship!

And if the relationship is a relatively new one, you might not know how the other person deals with money until you get into a fight about it.

The woman you’re about to hear from is having a conflict with her boyfriend…and now she’s wondering if she’s being unreasonable.

Read on and see what you think about what he had to say.

AITA for asking my boyfriend for my deposit back?

“Me (36f) and my boyfriend (39m) have been dating for a year and have finally decided to move in together we’re super excited.

Last Saturday was our moving day – I’m moving in with him – and needed a moving van which he was driving but I was paying for. It was going to cost £250 for the day, but he had to book it due to insurance etc.

I sent him over the money when he went to pick up the van, they said they needed and extra £100 insurance money that we will get back after the van is dropped off and there are no damages, I said fine and sent over the extra money.

Sure, whatever…

The move went fine we were really happy and excited , when he dropped off the van I asked about the £100 he said they would send it in a few days, I said fine.

Didn’t think any more of it, we spent the next few days unpacking etc and just enjoying each others company and the whole experience.

Thursday night as we were going to bed I said – oh they still haven’t given us back that deposit money? We’ll have to call them in the morning, see what’s happened.

Here comes their first big fight!

He froze. Oh they put that in my bank Monday. I looked at him and said why didn’t you put that in my bank?

He got really upset with me and started saying it would only go to shopping anyway and why does it matter whose bank it goes in?

That didn’t sit well with her.

I was really confused and upset – I said but you didn’t even tell me they had given you the money back, or said let’s just keep it for shopping, you just kept it?

He then got really angry and shouted FINE I’ll put it in YOUR bank!

And he grabbed his phone and transferred the money.

I’m left shocked and confused.

Was I wrong to ask for this money back?

AITA?”
