A man is questioning if he is in the wrong for asking his wife to find a new job. The couple has been married for four years and split their bills 60-40, with the wife earning more due to her job working for a high-profile client.

The husband’s frustration has caused a rift between the couple and has caused a divide between their families as well. While his parents agree with him, his sisters have taken the wife’s side. Is the husband being unreasonable or is the wife being selfish?
