In this story, a woman had serious concerns about the amount of income that her fiancé was giving to his older sister. Ever since their dad passed twelve years ago, he had taken financial responsibility for his mom and sister. He had continued to give them 30% of his salary even after he moved away, and his sister got married and became a stay-at-home mom.
The wife-to-be felt like her future sister-in-law didn't need this extra cash, as her husband made enough money to support his family, and she had no interest in finding work. Thinking of the future, she wondered if it was asking too much to request that he stop directing his finances towards her.

Would I be wrong if I told my fiancé to stop giving his sister money?

33-year-old demands fiancé stop giving money to stay-at-home older sister after supporting her for 12 years: 'She doesn't have a job and doesn't plan to'
Traditional marriage vows state that a person is going to stick with their spouse for richer or poorer, but they do not specify the terms of staying with somebody throughout these different financial states. Money is frequently one of the biggest causes of conflict in relationships, and a person's financial habits can often betray that their priorities are not where they should be when they are supposedly serious about someone.
One of the biggest culprits when it comes to financial relationship disagreements is sharing money with family members. There is a difference between helping a relative in a time of need and letting them use you as an ATM, and this distinction has been the downfall of many marriages in its time. When a prospective spouse seems more invested in spending on family than their partner, it can be a cause for concern and something that needs to be addressed.
