And it gets weirder….

Relationships can be complicated. Well, that’s actually not true.

They are very simple - either you enjoy spending time with your SO, or you don’t. Everything else is just… details.

How do you imagine spending time with your partner? We bet that laying on the beach, long walks, sex, and cuddling on the couch during those cold winter nights are some of the first things that come to your mind.

Where does arguing about splitting bills fit in there? Or nitpicking about who bought what at the grocery store?

Doesn’t sound really romantic, doesn’t it? Or like something you want to do for the rest of your life with your partner.

Separate finances are pretty common these days, but some people have a really twisted idea about what that means. For example, a woman posted a question on Reddit: “AITA for refusing to pay my husband for the burnt beef steak I cooked for him?”

And if you think the question is weird, just wait till you read the rest of her story. Someone misinformed this woman about what separate finances really mean.

She got into an argument with her husband about a burnt steak. And it brought on a whole lot of issues.

OP posted her odd question

And an even odder story. She and her husband have separate finances, and he goes to extremes when sharing expenses.

He brought home a steak and asked her to cook it.

But the stake was completely burnt because he had strawberries to harvest...

Now he says she owes him for a prime piece of meat

Why should he pay for something his wife destroyed?

OP wanted to explain their situation, but we don't think it worked. And OP clearly has some weird idea about what separate finances are.

Some people neglected the whole extreme financial thing and focused on their relationship

While others have focused on the most bizarre thing - reimbursement request

If you want to hare everything, pay me for the work I do around the house...

Just imagine...

It is not a normal relationship, not even close

Sounds about right

Everyone is out to get him. Even his own wife. That poor guy, always the victim

OP should charge him for it

That is exaclty what everyone does when feeling sick and exhausted- cruise around for that perfect piece of meat

Do they even eat together?

Roommates, not spouses

Can you think of a reason?

The bottom line:

And to wrap it up:

OP posted an edit, which made things even worse:

Her husband seems like a very nice man. She must enjoy spending quality time with him

How do you even get to a point when you argue about who will pick up a bill for the burnt stake? What is their family life like?

How much time do they spend each day calculating how much they've spent and who owes whom? It's hard to answer OPs questions because your mind goes straight to the questions we mentioned above.

That's not a relationship -it's a business deal. And we think OP is getting ripped off.
