A woman turned to an online community seeking advice after a disagreement with her fiancé about finances raised concerns about their relationship dynamics.
She shared her story on Reddit’s ‘Am I The A*****e’ thread. The woman, 32 years old, and her 35-year-old partner got engaged after being together for five years. They had planned to get married in May 2025.
Shortly after their engagement, the woman’s grandmother passed away. Her grandparents had been financially successful, and she inherited a significant amount of money from her grandmother. However, this inheritance led to an unexpected conflict.
Upon hearing about the inheritance, the woman’s fiancé seemed overly enthusiastic. Later, she overheard him discussing the money with his friends, mentioning paying off his credit card and planning a holiday without her. When confronted, he justified his plans by stating the money was also his since they were getting married.
This confrontation escalated into an argument, with the fiancé accusing her of embarrassing him in front of his friends and expecting her to share her inheritance with him. Upset, the woman left their home to stay with a friend and questioned whether she was wrong in the situation.
After sharing her story, many online users expressed empathy and advised her against marrying her fiancé.
Some comments highlighted concerns about his entitlement and financial habits, suggesting that his behavior revealed deeper character flaws. Others warned her about the potential for an abusive and narcissistic relationship based on his reactions.
The consensus among the online community was clear: many believed she should reconsider her relationship and future marriage plans with her fiancé.
