‘He felt like his entire life was a lie’: Family member informs their cousin's husband that their cousin inherited a large sum of money from their grandparents while he has been working 3 jobs to keep their family afloat

Financial transparency is a significant pillar of any relationship. This isn't to say that finances must always be shared, but both parties should always be aware of their partner's finances to some degree. Why? If you're considering building a life together or have already done so, money is typically a significant factor in those plans.

If you found out that you're spouse has hidden a sizable inheritance from you while you're working three jobs under the guise of staying afloat, what would you do? Feign indifference in hopes you will eventually get over it? File for divorce the next day? The husband in this next story chooses the latter.

The family member who posted this story explains that they got into a conversation with their cousin's husband, who started inquiring about their grandparents' estate and what ever came of it. The family member informs the husband that their cousin, his wife, received a large amount of money from the estate. You can assume what happens next…

Needless to say, the husband had no idea and has been paying off his wife's student debt, funding her lifestyle, and supporting their family while she is a stay-at-home mother. Scroll below to read the entire story.
