Money sometimes causes conflict in relationships, particularly when one spouse feels entitled to a specified amount.Becky, for example, thought that the wealth her father gave her should be spent on herself rather than on family needs.Her husband objected, telling her that he\u2019s been there for her for years.In an unexpected twist, he did something that wounded Becky, prompting her to seek our guidance.Here is Becky\u2019s letter:I\u2019ve been a housewife, taking care of my 2 stepkids while my husband provided for us.Recently, my dad left me a $40k inheritance, and my husband said it would help with the family expenses. I told him, \u201cMy dad left this money for me, to spend on myself!\u201dHe nodded. Next day, I was horrified to find that my closet was empty of my favorite clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
