My Husband Gave Me $600 and Expected Me to Support His Entire Family

Synopsis

Six hundred dollars. That was my husband's idea of a monthly household budget. The food and wine for that day alone had cost $387, the utilities were still unpaid, and now his sister had sent me a link to a $1,400 handbag. "Cream. Express shipping. I need it by Saturday." I took the bills to my husband. "Don't you have money in your account?" he asked. "That money came from my parents." "We're married. Do you really have to nickel-and-dime everything?" But when I asked about his money, he said the company needed cash. When I found a job, he told me we didn't need the extra money. I laid the offer letter on the dining table and, for the first time, stood by my decision.
