Imagine finding yourself in a difficult situation with the person you love. That’s exactly what happened to me, and I turned to the internet seeking some guidance. It all started with a heated argument over money with my fiancé, making me question whether I was wrong for standing my ground.

Let me give you some background. My partner and I got engaged a year ago. We have been together for five years and are planning to get married in May 2024. Unfortunately, my nanna passed away shortly after our engagement. She and my grandfather had successful careers, and they worked hard to build a comfortable life for themselves.

Due to their frugal lifestyle in their younger years, they were able to enjoy their later years by spending their money. Now, my grandfather is an intelligent man who knows how to handle money and investments. So, when I say my nanna left us a significant sum of money in her will, I really mean it. This inheritance was meant for me, my brother, and my three cousins.

When I shared this news with my fiancé, he was thrilled. However, it wasn’t long before I overheard him talking to his friends about using the money to pay off his credit card and go on a boys’ vacation. That’s when I confronted him, feeling hurt and betrayed.

We had a heated argument, and I ended up leaving the room feeling upset. Later on, he found me in the kitchen and continued to berate me. He accused me of being a financial burden and claimed that any money I receive would be his as well. I was shocked by his words and felt misunderstood.

I want to clarify that I never mentioned going on a vacation, and I am unsure why he sees me as a financial burden. I have a stable career and no desire for children. Unable to bear the tension, I left the house and am currently staying at a friend’s place while I sort out my thoughts.

It’s important to note that this incident happened recently, and I only found out about my inheritance due to some family and legal complications. But now, I am left wondering if I made the right decision by refusing to share my inheritance with my fiancé.
