In-Laws Want To Know Man's Income, He Calls Them Gold Diggers

Some people really don't like to talk about their finances. Other people fail to pick up on those social cues when they're glaringly present. Hence, an environment that'd otherwise be nice and peaceful can quickly give way to a spicy situation like the one we have here. Were there other potentially more amicable ways that this guy could've addressed his in-laws aggressive nosiness? Sure. But even then, it was pretty bold on their part, and it seems like most of the moral judges back in the comments section were in agreement that he wasn't in the wrong for snapping back at them.

    Font - They invited me into their guest room. My father in law asked me to leave my phone and keys at the dinning table. They started talking about my new job. They had no idea how much I get paid and asked me to tell them about my salary but I politely declined to tell them. They asked why, I just bluntly told them it was non of their business. father inlaw chimed in saying "you're marrying my daughter, damn right it's my business" and kept on about making his daughter's future's secured.

    Font - I refused to tell them but again, assured them that I'm doing well financially so no worries. Mother inlaw refused to drop it. Claimed I was being disrespectful by treating them like they were some strangers asking about how much I get paid and demanded I give her a number. I got so annoyed and wanted to excuse myself to the bathroom but father inlaw got up and locked the door. I asked what the hell he was doing. He told me to calm down and that he'll unlock the door when this conversatio

    Font - I grabbed my phone and my keys and walked out. Mother inlaw already called my fiancèe and was crying saying I disrespected them in their house and called them gold diggers for just asking how I was doing with my new job. My fiancèe was upset but I explained what her mom n dad did. She said I not only hurt her parents but her hurt as well by calling them gold diggers and I owe them an apology but I refused to. I asked if she thought what her parents did was okay but she reminded me that sh

    Font - They locked you in a room with them without your phone or keys. Def NTA. If you're going to try and make it work with her, set boundaries now. Do not apologize for acting like anyone would in that situation. They weren't just rude, they were threatening. And the thing is, I'm sure your gf knows how they are. É G Reply ↑ 2k 3 ...

    Rectangle - frescafrescacool • 1d 1 Award NTA So they low key kidnapped you to get your financial info. Does your fiancée know what you do for a living/how much you make? Do you know how much she makes? Because you guys will need to start making a budget, planning how you'll save for retirement, etc. So this info it's kinda important but just for the 2 of you. It's no one else's business but you two. Your fiancée should be mortified and not asking you to apologize. This is a red flag all around
