His Fiancée Is So Weird And Cheap When It Comes To Money That He’s Thinking Of Calling Off Their Wedding
A 27-year-old man is currently engaged to his 32-year-old fiancée, and they have been with one another for 7 years.
He popped the question to her not that long ago, and they have their wedding date set for the spring of 2023.
Throughout the 7 years that he has been with his fiancée, he has always known that she’s been weird and cheap when it comes to money.
Unfortunately, his fiancée is only becoming worse, and she gets pretty intense when she feels that she is owed something.
“We both work, I work full-time, her part-time,” he explained. “I pay our mortgage and power, she pays for the internet and we split groceries.”
“I also pay for all our dates, every time we go out, if we want to go on vacation it’s all out of my pocket. I don’t really have a problem with that, whatever, but I noticed she’s super petty about money.”
For instance, he’s had to borrow just $7.50 from her, yet only had $7 to pay her back. Although it was just two quarters, she incessantly was on him about making sure she got the extra $0.50 returned to her.
Another time, he drove his fiancée to a doctor’s appointment and her bridge pass was expired. He didn’t have $2 to pay the required toll, yet she insisted that he paid her those $2 back.
A third example is when he and his fiancée were renovating the condo that they own. Throughout the process, his fiancée kept an itemized list of all the things she paid for and what he then owed her.

Now, their condo has his name on it and her name on it too. He thought it was pretty crazy that she was so stuck on making sure everything they spent was exactly equal.
He has tons more examples of his fiancée nickel and diming him, but he’s just so frustrated and sick of it at this point.
His job pays him well, and he happily pays for things for the two of them. In contrast, his fiancée won’t do the same for him at all.
His fiancée clearly sees his money as something they can both spend, while she looks at her money as something that’s only for her and her alone to spend.
“…She’s so petty about getting back what she is “owed” down to the cent when I pay for 85% of our expenses and bend over backward to support her,” he said.
He doesn’t consider his partnership with his fiancée to be “equal” at all, and that’s really what he has been looking for all along.
He believes that this is all his fault though for permitting his fiancée to be ok with him footing the bill for literally everything.
His fiancée also will ask him for money and he never expects her to pay him back that money, so he wants her to treat him the same way.
“I’m thinking I’m going to call off the wedding and move on,” he continued. “I hate the whole tit-for-tat …in a relationship, taking score and all that but this is a whole other level of that.”
“I want an equal partnership and I feel I’m being taken advantage of pretty massively. Most of my friends have been telling me to run for years and I think the fog is starting to clear.”
He’s pretty positive that leaving his fiancée is the best thing for him to do, and he understands it’s going to be a mess to separate.
Do you think he should call off the wedding over the money issue?
