'You are treating your wife like a child': Petty husband takes away wife's birthday party after she calls his sister a 'leech' for borrowing money

Lending money to family members is a dangerous game. You do it out of the kindness of your heart, or out of some sense of familial obligation, and you hope that it all works out. But it's incredibly common that you run into some sticky wickets along the way. When money and family are mixed, it often leads to hurt feelings and conflict. This is especially true when you get married and start sharing your finances with someone else. 

When you're married, it ceases to be just your money. Even if it's not in a shared account, odds are you depend on each other's earning power, so if your spouse starts to give money away, it becomes your issue. That's what happened in this story when a husband's lending money to his sister caused conflicts in his relationship. But was the way he retaliated appropriate? Read on for the story and see what you think.
