Woman's 'transaction nightmare' of a husband starts charging for the room she uses to work from home

Is this dude serious? He's trying to charge his wife 30% of her wages because she uses a room in their house as her 'work from home' office. Yes, this was his house prior to their marriage, but he had agreed early on to let her use their second bedroom as a home office. To go back on that arrangement so suddenly is concerning, to say the least.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/Emil536775, and let's just say that the ruthless judges of the AITA community were crystal clear about what the original poster should do next: leave him. Clearly, this marriage is more of a transaction to him than anything else, and clearly, he is not taking into account all the work she puts into their place (i.e. doing all the house chores). The moment he brought up this conversation became the beginning of the end.
