Picking the right partner is already challenging enough, but having money enter the picture makes things even more complicated. We're always rooting for the women around us to find their fairytale love and start every morning with the swoon-worthy text of her dreams as it is a tech dominated world after all, but sometimes things are more bumpy of a ride than you'd expect. 

For this reddit couple matters became strained a little too much for comfort when the woman in the relationship got an unexpected inheritance. Fighting over what to spend such money on is the last thing anyone wants to be doing. There has to be a satisfying compromise to clear the air, but that begs the question if one came into the money are they obligated to share it? We'll let you be the judge, things are already too messy. Hopefully these two can still make it down the isle or want to. One things for certain, this woman is one strong independent lady and she won't give in that easy.

    dogmama1958 Red flag. Just leave. Don't forget the house. Sell it and get your money back. And remember, don't buy a house with anyone who isn't a spouse.

    Noirjyre Oh, wow. He has more money and expects to to pay for his car. I would still be laughing at this. Good news tho, you can afford a house now.

    wlveith Consider using the inheritance to buy him out of the house and send him on his way. This is a neon red flag. Heed the warning.

    Rude-Yard-8266 He is showing you his red flags. Listen to it because if he is already acting this entitled to your inheritance before you are married I can only imagine how bad this will get.

    JTBlakeinNYC Nope. Do not do this. If his parents did tomorrow do you think he'd pay off your car with his inheritance?
