He said they should think of the dinner as a resort-style cookout because his house has so much amenities

Family gatherings could be fun-filled bonding events. They could also be the main stage for the family drama to come out.

In this case, it was the latter. OP (original poster) shared that her husband of seven months comes from a wealthy family from which he inherited considerable assets.

The big house that they currently live in is one of them. Their house has a big backyard, a pool, and a lot of other interesting features.

The husband and wife decided to host their first cookout since the wedding and invited both of their families. Everyone had a great time then went home, and no drama came from it, or so OP thought.

OP's mom called her sounding stressed. Her mom asked her if OP's husband collected money from his family before they attended the cookout.

OP was confused by her mom's inquiry and she asked her mom what she meant. Her mom explained that OP's husband charged every single member of their family $25 before they could attend the cookout.

OP got angry but mostly, she couldn't believe the information her mom just said. She also felt that what her husband did permanently strained her relationship with her family because most of them attended their party.

OP's husband earned a total of $275 from OP's side of the family

Fuming, OP ended the call immediately and went to confront her husband. He said they should think of it as a "resort" cookout because the house has a lot of luxuries and OP's family got to enjoy the view.

OP said that what he did was horrible and the fact that he didn't treat his family the same way made things worse. He responded by laughing at OP.

He reminded her that the house was given to him by his family. OP demanded the money back but he said he wouldn't do that plus he wouldn't give the cash to her because the house is technically his alone.

OP took the money back anyway. She gave back the cash to every member of her family along with the sincerest apologies she could muster.

Her husband found out and he flipped out. He said OP behaved disrespectfully by taking the money back and she overstepped his boundaries.

OP defended her actions by saying he shouldn't have charged money from her family as they were guests at their house. He corrected her and said it was his house.

He also said OP's family has probably never attended a cookout at a house like his. Plus, he only charged $25 for the event but OP was too disrespectful to let him keep it.

They haven't discussed things further but OP's husband has been venting to his mommy that his wife took the money he earned by himself. Read the whole story below:

They were probably caught off guard by his cheap behavior

OP's family members were too nice to sound the alarm

This is an urgent situation and OP should really reconsider this marriage

Could it be that OP's husband is testing her boundaries?

Maybe he is but OP is the only one who can really answer this for herself

Don't wait for his next move, OP

It's not that hard to believe that an entitled rich person could behave this way

Not all rich people are bad but this rich person OP married is no nice guy

Has he always been like this, OP?

After correcting her so many times about whose house it is, OP is probably aware by now that she's just a guest at that fancy place

"Mommy's boys never make good husbands."

They are flashing and we can see them all the way from here

He probably doesn't even realize he did anything wrong

OP is just one of the "things" he owns and controls

We also do not like OP's husband. He has a personality only his mom could love.

Is $25 per person enough money to throw a whole marriage over? In this case, it absolutely is enough.

It may not be a lot but what that cash symbolizes weighs heavy. By charging OP's family for what's supposed to be a fun and casual dinner at home, he is saying exactly what he thinks of OP's family and how much he values them.
