Her husband initially mocked her hobby, but when the business took off and started making money, he demanded a share of the profits. The woman refused, sparking a heated argument and even involvement from family and friends. Now she’s turned to Reddit’s AITA community to ask for their judgment. Is she in the wrong for not wanting to share her hard-earned profits with her husband? Read on to find out more about this controversy.

A woman’s passion for sewing turned into a successful business earning her over $200-300 monthly. However, her husband demanded a share of the profits despite previously mocking her hobby.
