Most families assume that the wife is the “hand of the key box”, holding all the expenses in the family. Therefore, the husband’s monthly salary will often be reduced to one term, which is the wife’s safe. My house is no exception to that underground convention.

My wife and I have been married for almost 4 years and have a 2 year old daughter. My husband is a real estate broker and I work in a government agency. In terms of income, his level is much higher than mine.

Thanks to that, our family life is quite stable, we have our own house, and we don’t have to be frugal. Of course, to get that, it is impossible to ignore the effort of saving and calculating the wife’s calculation is me.

I keep a lot of money in the house, but I always tell my husband about my savings in the bank. Whenever I send money home, I always show him the book. When he needed capital for his business, I always gave him enough money… So my husband always trusted his wife, he didn’t care much about what I spent, every month he gave most of his income to his wife.

The problem only began to arise when the epidemic spread, causing the real estate transaction to be somewhat frozen, which prevented my husband from giving monthly money to his wife.

Even half a year ago, the trading floor restored, my husband started to get busier with the work of taking customers to see the land, notarizing documents for customers,… but he still didn’t give me money. keep anymore. He constantly complained that after the epidemic, it was difficult to find customers, without customers, there were no roses.

I am also very happy because there are times when doing business, so I just encourage my husband to stay enthusiastic about work and luck will also come.

Three months ago, my husband’s sister was planning to expand her factory, so she called me to ask for a loan of 300 million. However, I used an excuse to discuss with my husband first.

In fact, we have 400 million in our savings book, but I am planning to buy and invest in a piece of land in the countryside, and if I don’t, I need to borrow more from my grandparents.

Finally, after discussing, we agreed not to lend money to her husband, but to buy land.

Last month, we found a reasonable piece of land in the countryside for 700 million, so we bought it, and I borrowed the remaining amount from my grandparents and friends. My husband said he had some business plans, so let me handle this case alone.

In order to borrow 300 million to buy land, I also took a long time to borrow money here and there. However, the other day, I found out that my husband’s transaction history had transferred to his sister 200 million.

I asked my colleagues at the company, and I know that he sells land like vegetables these days, the commission is not small, but he keeps complaining to me that he has no money.

As it turned out, he hid from me lending money to his sister and left me reeling with 300 million debt. My husband’s actions really disappoint me, should I talk to him frankly or keep quiet to keep the peace?
