They say that if you choose a job you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. And it works out even better if you kinda dislike your current work from home desk job. Makes switching easier.

An anonymous redditor recently shared a story of just that. Except, you can guess that things are never that easy in life because screw you, that’s why, and it all turned into some old-fashioned family drama.

Flowers can be a tough sell when it comes to doing business, but there are some who make it work

The redditor introduced herself as a 29-year-old female doing a work from home job, but she is an active person who loves the outdoors, or particularly, gardening. She figured she had some precious land in her backyard, good for growing flowers that she could sell, in turn making some money along the way.

Her husband, a 35-year-old bank clerk, was not supportive of this idea, but she went ahead and did her thing regardless. A bit more than a year later, it turned out to be quite a successful venture, raking in some decent money.

But, one day, the husband blurted out how the wife was doing a good job with keeping “our” business “flowing.” This immediately made the wife correct him, saying how he never really believed in the idea, let alone did nothing to add to it.

Despite this, he still insisted that he wanted his “fair share” of the profits, drawing the line at nothing less than 50%. You can guess where this is going.

His argument was that it was technically his land as he owned it long before she got involved. One thing led to another and the wife called the money-minded male delusional in thinking he deserves anything at all given the circumstances.

As clarification, the redditor also said that they have their own separate finances in the family, paying for only their mutual commitments like taxes and utilities. Besides, the man was well off, so it’s not like he desperately needed “his share.”

The community was having none of the husband’s shenanigans. Many have argued that it is rather unfair that he should benefit from the wife’s success without even lifting a finger, and even more people strongly suggested reconsidering their marriage, considering how he went about the situation.

Yet others pointed out that he doesn’t share his finances with her, so why should she? Lastly, some even gave some financial advice and how she could go about, let say, manipulating her way out of this. In any case, the community dubbed her not the a-hole in this situation.

The internet was on the wife’s side, not only saying her husband’s wrong, but even suggesting they divorce
