Money can sometimes create issues in relationships, especially when one person has much more than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This happened to Darren shortly after he got married. As a young man with less money than his wife\u2019s family, he felt uncomfortable and embarrassed, which caused a strong emotional reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darren reached out to us for advice: \u201cMy wife\u2019s family is very rich, and I\u2019m just an ordinary employee living paycheck to paycheck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, for our wedding, her dad paid for everything. When we got on the plane for our honeymoon, my wife was in first class, but my ticket was for economy. She just shrugged and said, \u2018This sucks, but Dad says he\u2019s not your money machine.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was so angry that I left the plane. A few hours later, I got a call from her dad. I couldn\u2019t believe it when he said, \u2018I gave you a dream wedding and honeymoon without asking you to pay anything. Is this how you treat my daughter?\u2019 He also said, \u2018My daughter is used to a certain lifestyle, and I\u2019ll keep giving her that, but I won\u2019t support you!\u2019 His words made me even angrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I told him I won\u2019t accept being treated this way just because I\u2019m not wealthy, then I hung up. My wife tried to get me to catch a later flight for the honeymoon, but I refused, so she came back home to talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am I wrong for reacting like this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yours, Darren<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
