Money problems often cause problems in relationships, especially when one partner’s finances are very different from the other’s. This was the case for Darren not long after he got married. He was young and didn’t have nearly as much money as his wife’s family. He found himself in a tough and, to him, very embarrassing situation, which made him feel very strongly. Darren got in touch with us to ask for help.

“My wife’s family is very wealthy, but I live from paycheck to paycheck as an employee, so it made sense that her dad paid for everything at our wedding.”

I found out my honeymoon ticket was in economy when we got on the plane. She was sitting in first class. Dad told her he wasn’t going to be her money machine, so she just shrugged.

I was so mad that I left her on the plane.

After hours, her dad calls me with the worst news. He said, “I gave you a dream wedding and a dream honeymoon and didn’t ask for a dime.” I couldn’t believe it. Do you treat my daughter this way? He said, “My daughter is used to a certain lifestyle, and I’m going to keep giving her that, but you need to understand that I will not provide for you too!”

What he said made me even more angry. I hung up on him after telling him I couldn’t take being put down because I wasn’t rich like them. My wife wanted to take the next flight to go on our honeymoon with her, but I said no. So she came back home so we could talk. Should I not feel this way?

Thank you, Darren”
