Woman Shares How Her Husband, Who Lost Almost Everything, Now Feels Entitled to Her Money, and Redditors Are Amazed
Why are certain people so entitled to other people's money?
When times are good, people prefer to enjoy their wealth independently with their loved ones. However, when circumstances turn bad, they often start to rely on others whom they perceive as having more. Why are certain individuals so entitled to other people's money?
Take today's story as an example. A woman, who is a Redditor, brought a case to the AITA subreddit community for judgment.
She and her husband married in their 50s, marking both of their second marriages. The OP has no children but remains close to her former stepson, whom she raised, while her husband has three adult children.
They both signed a prenup and kept their finances separate. The OP's husband left everything to his children, while she willed hers to her stepson, and they were both content with this arrangement.
However, later on, her husband's business failed, and he lost almost everything. On the other hand, the OP experienced a health scare and decided to change her will to accommodate her husband, but upon her passing, everything would still go to her stepson.
This arrangement did not sit well with her husband, leading to conflict. Keep scrolling to read the full story below.

If I make a lot of money, then it should be up to me to decide how to spend it. If I choose to, I can lavish it on designers or cars, and if I wish, I can use it to help others.
The important thing here is that I make the decisions regarding what I do with my money, and your opinion doesn’t count. Or don’t you think so too?
