From real life. “My father and grandfather warned me about this marriage, but I didn't listen”: They were right that he wanted my money

At the age of twenty-six, I was promoted to the position of director of an elite beauty salon.

Both my parents and I have significantly improved our standard of living. I have my own apartment and car. When I introduced my young husband, Artur, to my parents, both my father and grandfather immediately said that he needed my money, not me.

I didn't believe them, and now we've been married for two years and live in my apartment. I have a special bank account, some call it a safety cushion, others call it an emergency fund, but the point is the same. I put a certain amount of money into it every month, but I don't take anything out. Artur knows about my savings, which just sit in the bank account and aren't used. It's my financial cushion, which I don't touch, but I keep adding to it.

I wish he knew about it, but recently he offered to invest all my savings in his business idea, but I declined. He thought that all the money I had was his money too. I explained to him that my savings were untouchable and kept for emergencies.

Don't think I begrudge the money I gave Arthur to support his ventures, but the problem is that he had business ideas before and I gave him money for them, but they all failed. Most of them never even got off the ground. And here I am again. He has an idea, he doesn't even know where to start or what steps to take to develop the business.

He called me a stingy idiot and said that if I didn't give him at least some of my savings, he would file for divorce. After saying that, the next day I filed for divorce myself. My father and grandfather were right. I realized this after two years of family life.

Don't miss: From life. “I understood everything from your behavior, you don't have to explain anything”: My mother was offended
