He Got $1,300 As A Christmas Bonus This Year But Is Refusing To Split It With His Wife Because, Once In The Past, She Did Not Split Her $1,000 Christmas Gift From Her Parents With Him

In turn, his bonus jumped to about one thousand and three hundred dollars this year, and he was obviously pretty pumped.

After his wife found out about his bonus, though, she suggested that they split the money. That way, they would each have seven hundred dollars of spending money.

But, quite frankly, he refused– referencing their prior arrangement and claiming that they agreed to keep their money separate to spend how they choose.

He also pointed out how, in the past, there has always been a small difference– of about one or two hundred dollars– between what his in-laws gifted his wife and what he received at work.

“But we have never split the money fifty-fifty, so there is no reason to start now only when it benefits her,” he said.

Finally, he brought up one incident that occurred a few years ago– when his company was having an especially tough year.

So, that Christmas, he only received a one hundred dollar bonus; meanwhile, his wife received her full one thousand dollars that holiday season and opted not to split it with him.

“And I did not expect her to,” he added.

In turn, he feels as though his wife is now expecting a double standard, but he refuses to cave.

Nonetheless, ever since Christmas, his wife has continued to bring up the issue “constantly,” and it is causing a lot of tension in his home.

So now, with him and his wife currently stuck in a stalemate, he has been left wondering if refusing to split his work bonus with his wife makes him a total jerk or not.
