    Font - r/AmIthe hole Posted by 8 hours ago u/The_Mechanic23 S AITA for ripping up a check in front of my husband? 2 I(29F) and my husband(30M) got married in June. I recently found that I will be expecting and we are very excited. Money has been a light due to my husband only working part-time. He wants to spend his free-time by building a baby room. I think it's very sweet and I am very excited to see the room.

    Font - My parents and husband get along okay. They are worried that my husband is only with me for money. I grew up in a nice neighborhood and went to good schools. My parents did not grow up with money and worked hard to become successful. My husband did not grow up with money and has not asked for anything. We do not share finances as he loves to spend money.

    Font - My parents asked me to come over for dinner as they wanted to talk. I went over and they told me that they had given husband a check for $500 to help with the baby room. I was surprised when they gave me another check for $1,000. I went home and saw my husband playing on a brand new playstation 5. I asked him where the money was that my parents gave him and he admitted to using it on the playstation.

    Font - I asked him about the $1,000 check and he said I'm using that on a new gaming PC. I pulled the check out and ripped it up. He starts yelling at me and calls me a petty bi for destroying the check. I told my parents about everything and they are demanding for their money back. His parents are calling me crazy and think I was in the wrong. Edit: For those asking where he bought the PS5 from, he bought it through someone locally.

    Font - BengalBBQ 8 hr. ago . Colo-rectal Surgeon [34] He lied. He took the money for the the babies room and spent it on something else. It is NOT being pettty to rip the second check up, which he fraudulently intends to FURTHER his lies to use on something other than the babies room. Be VERY careful here, OP. Your husband is not an honest person!! ΝΤΑ 5.7k Reply Share

    Font - kipsterdude 4 hr. ago Partsipant [1] Also we can guess how much he'll be helping to take care of the child. I'd suggest receiving items only rather than money, but I suspect husband would sell those for the cash. 74 Reply Share

    Font - BaitedBreaths. 4 hr. ago Anyone who cuts back to part-time work when they find out they've got a baby on the way is an AH, unless they're the person actually growing the baby in their body. How much effort does it take to put together a nursery? The baby doesn't even care. 223 Reply Share

    Font - Minute-Tale7444 - 4 hr. ago That's what I'm saying! Not working full time (at most jobs) you're not usually eligible even for any benefits or anything. So what does he expect, his in laws to fund his whole life? It's atrocious behavior. I have family with money, and wow-I think the in laws should March his a&& to the store/who he bought it from & make him return it to get his money back (if it's able to be done). This is the worst entitlement I've read/seen in awhile. OP is def NTA, but h

    Font - Cactus7979 35 min. ago Partipant [1] Totally agree with you. Life is unpredictable. A man never should rely on his pregnant wife's income. For my first pregnancy I had major complications which led to full bed rest and break from work and saved the baby. If OP faces the similar situation her husband will not be able to support her. He is not matured enough mentally.

    Font - crystallz2000 4 hr. ago Partipant [1] OP, please get into marriage counseling BEFORE the baby comes. This guy isn't just bad with money, he stole money meant to go to his child's room for something he wanted. That is AWFUL! How long have you known this man? Because... there's some wrong with him. 98 Reply Share

    Font - PokeyWeirdo12. 4 hr. ago Parta pant [1] And any husband who breaks out bitch as an insult to their spouse when they themselves are the one in the wrong has anger and maturity issues. I'm sorry for OP that she is already pregnant, she is going to be raising children if she stays with this loser. Oh, but don't worry, OP, i'm *sure* his game streaming channel will start making lots of money real soon...as your kid cries in their poopy diaper because he can't pause his campaign to change them

    Font - Nooneatall2122 - 2 hr. ago He is with you for the money! Like mom and dad said. Sorry OP but get rid of him. He don't bring anything to the table. Kids are a lot of money. Trust me I have 6. He is choosing to try to live off of you and your family's money.

    Font - Left-Car6520 - 8 hr. ago Craptain [170] This very strange. Why did you rip up a check that would go into your own bank account, since you do not share finances? Why did they give him the check for $500 instead of you, if they already suspect he is with you for money? Why did they give him his check without telling you, on a separate occasion before giving you your check, long enough for him to cash the check and buy a playstation? Why did you ask him about the check they gave you? Ask wha
