A woman recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent her frustrations over her husband's stingy behavior, revealing shocking details about their financial arrangement after eight years of marriage.
In her post, the woman shared that despite her husband earning nearly RM2,000 more than her, all household expenses including those for their children are split equally between them. This includes the cost of food and day-to-day necessities, a situation she has been quietly enduring for years.
The matter became even more baffling during a recent incident involving a trivial purchase of RM6 fried bananas, which her husband bought to bring to his mother's house. To her surprise, he insisted that they split the cost, despite it being such a small amount. When she confronted him about this, her husband defended his actions, claiming that he had already contributed financially.
However, the woman pointed out that his contribution of RM400 per month is mainly used to cover their children's needs, which only adds to her frustration.
Her post quickly gained attention, with many users expressing sympathy for her situation. Some shared similar stories of dealing with stingy partners, while others commented that her husband's behavior is unlikely to change, suggesting that she may be fighting a losing battle in expecting him to be more generous.
As discussions about financial fairness and relationship dynamics continued in the comments, it became clear that many felt she deserved better and encouraged her to stand up for her own financial well-being.
