'Money, it's a crime. Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie,' are lyrics from the illustrious psychedelic band, Pink Floyd, in their ever popular hit song, Money. Money makes the world go round, it can make someone wildly ecstatic, or the lack of it can leave someone in shambles. It's like an ether of everything necessary and everything corrupt. It's too easy to lose one's way with green tinted glasses. Money in relationships gets even trickier; expectations about financial payouts can result in relationship turmoil if one isn't too careful. Both people need to be on the same page about finances, and if they're sharing accounts, or if they're keeping everything separate.
In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man with twins who attend private school. Having high expectations for their educational future, he opens a college fund for them while they're young. After some years, his ex's grandparents tell him that they've also been stocking away money for the girls, and it's significantly more money. When OP's girlfriend gets word of this, she insists he share his funds…but he won't comply so easily.
