Man Refuses to Share $50,000 Bonus With Fiancée's Struggling Family, She Calls Him Selfish and Alludes to Breakup, Despite Him Using the Funds to Buy Their First House

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Merging finances with a partner is not always as straightforward as it sounds. In a world where money corrupts even the purest of hearts, it could be best to keep finances separate until you know someone for a few years at minimum. More and more couples are opting to have separate finances, or at least make a shared account while retaining their independent one. There are a slew of stories about financial cheating or manipulation of money. The first course of action is to talk to your partner and understand how they want to handle the finances. 

In this Reddit story, the original poster (OP) is an engaged man who just got a huge bonus at work. He works in tech, and he plans to use the money to help with the down payment on his first home with his soon-to-be wife. That is until she has something to say about it. She tells him to spare half of it in order to help her financially struggling parents, to which he refuses. You'll have to read the full story below for all the juicy details.
