She’s Being Blamed For Embarrassing Her Fiancé In Front Of His Friends After She Said He Wasn’t Entitled To Her Inheritance Just Because They’re Getting Married
One year ago, this 32-year-old woman’s fiancé, 35, proposed to her. They’ve been in a relationship for the last five years, and they’re getting married in May of next year. Sadly, just a couple of weeks after they got engaged, her grandmother died.
For decades, her grandmother and grandfather made a lot of money and had great educations and impressive careers.
Since both came from families who lived paycheck to paycheck, they did their best to save as much as possible throughout their marriage and into old age.
Her grandfather is smart and savvy when investing money, so her grandparents have an exceptional amount saved.
According to the terms of her grandma’s will, she, her brother, and their three cousins would inherit thousands of dollars each.
Due to family issues and court proceedings, it took a long time to confirm that she would receive the inheritance money.
Recently, she learned she’d be getting the money after all. Yesterday, she told her fiancé about it, and he was thrilled, more so than she’d predicted he would be.
At first, she dismissed his intense enthusiasm, but she realized later that day why he’d initially seemed so excited.
“I heard him on a game with his mates saying, ‘I can pay my credit card off with that money, mate! We can finally get that boys’ holiday we’ve been planning, ay?’ and laughing,” she said.

Immediately after hearing this, she entered the room and asked him what money he was referring to. In response, her fiancé gave her a confused look and said he was talking about the inheritance money she was receiving from her grandmother.
Her fiancé’s response infuriated her, and she yelled at him that he wouldn’t be using her inheritance money for his debts without her consent, adding that he wouldn’t be using the money for a vacation with his friends.
She reminded him that the inheritance money wasn’t his; her grandmother named her as the one receiving the money, not him.
Their discussion escalated into a full-blown screaming fight. Eventually, she walked out of the room because she was so angry. A few minutes later, her fiancé stopped playing his game to follow her into the kitchen to continue the argument.
“He scolded me again and said, ‘We are getting married. You will become my financial BURDEN. Any money you take in is mine, also. It was incredibly selfish of you to make such a fool out of me in front of my friends and give them false hope of a holiday,'” she explained.
It didn’t make any sense for her fiancé to comment about her supposedly giving his friends “false hope” of a vacation because he was the one who suggested the idea to them, not her.
“Where I become a financial burden, I don’t know, considering I am in a very good job, and I don’t want children,” she shared.
After her fiancé’s accusations, she didn’t argue back. She left and went to stay with a friend for the night and doesn’t know what to do moving forward.
