In most partnerships, money is one of the stickiest subjects. Who makes what, how to split the bills, and is there a way to have more?
But as this story shows, answering some of these tough questions can actually increase the tension within the relationship, not reduce it.
After her grandfather passed away, Reddit user throw_709236 inherited a significant amount of money from his estate. She took the opportunity to quit a job that made her miserable and pursue the passions that gave her the most joy.
The situation, however, got more complicated, because the woman’s boyfriend, who she was living with, expressed that he would like the her to step up with their bills and use some of her wealth to cover their rent.
After refusing, the woman started having second thoughts and turned to the platform’s “Am I the [Jerk]?” community for advice.
