A man discovered that his wife gave $2,000 from their joint savings account to her sister’s pyramid scheme. He confronts his wife and demands she gets the money back, or he will open a separate account for his share of the household expenses. The wife is upset and feels the man is unsupportive of her sister’s potential to earn six figures a month.
The man argues that his wife invested the money without considering how he would feel about it and that it could cause financial harm to their family. The sister-in-law calls him an AH and a control freak.
Is he the a**hole for telling his wife to get the money back in this situation ?
