My Husband & In-Laws Expected Me to Pay for Everyone’s NYE Dinner out of Money I Inherited from My Mom
A woman’s in-laws and her husband expected her to pay for everyone’s New Year’s Eve dinner after receiving ample money from her inheritance. Frustrated, she quietly paid for her meal and left the restaurant.
In a marriage, financial disagreements are the most common reasons for arguments. Sadly, many couples are sensitive to money, especially when in-laws are involved in the discussion.
A 32-year-old woman experienced this during New Year’s Eve and walked out of her family dinner with her in-laws. She later sought advice from the Reddit community to get opinions on her decision to leave.

Receiving Inheritance from Her Mom
When her mother passed away, the woman received a substantial inheritance. She did not want to squander the money, so she kept it in a separate account while deciding what to do.
Her inheritance money was no secret, and her husband constantly discussed it. He would suggest various ways to spend the money and expected her to use her money to pay for several things since the money came to her.
