A woman who inherited $20,000 from her mother’s late partner doesn’t want to share it with her husband. In a Reddit post, she explained that her mother, who isn’t from the U.S., fell in love with a wealthy American widower. The unnamed Redditor said that her husband disapproved of their relationship, per PEOPLE

“Sometimes I feel he’s allergic to people finding happiness around him,” the woman said about her husband. 

The woman’s husband was so opposed to the relationship that they had a fight about it. He treated the older man coldly and also disrespected the woman’s mother, her post said. 

“To cut the long story short, this man died after a brief illness (after being with my mum for about 4 years),” she continued. 

When he passed away, the man left $150,000 in property to the woman’s mother. After selling one property for a $100,000 profit, her mother gifted her $20,000. The woman wants to invest in #Nigeria, but her husband insists on using the money for their real estate business, which the woman expressed she isn’t comfortable with. 

“I understand what he owns is mine and vice versa, but this is the money of the same man he loathed.” 

“Am I wrong for not wanting to share the money with him?,” she questioned. 

#Clique, is the woman wrong?
