Imagine working every day in your husband's business, crunching numbers, handling accounts, and yet, not seeing a single dollar in your own name. That's my reality. I'm 30, a mom of two little ones, and my 39-year-old husband insists I don't need to earn my own money. Instead, he gives me a 'living allowance'βjust enough for basics, never enough for anything I actually want. If I want something extra, I have to send him my Amazon wish list like a kid asking for toys. He doesn't lift a finger at home, either. All the housework and childcare? That's on me. I feel trapped and powerless, like my own wants and needs don't matter. Is this normal? How do I get my own financial freedom without blowing up my family? Please, tell me I'm not alone in this! π€π #FinancialIndependence #MarriageStruggles #WomenEmpowerment #FamilyConflict #RomanticRelationships
