When we were purchasing the house, my parents recognized the challenges of affording a property in a city and insisted on contributing half of the down payment. However, Erik prevented them from doing so.
At that time, Erik spoke with sincerity, expressing his reluctance to allow my parents to use up their retirement savings to assist us in buying a house. His selflessness deeply moved our family, and as a result, my parents even returned all the wedding gifts they had received.
After our marriage, Erik insisted on shouldering the responsibility of paying the mortgage himself, refusing to let me contribute. He said, "I want to rely on myself to provide a stable and secure home for you and our child.
Prior to my resignation, all the family expenses were primarily covered by my salary alone. However, as my savings gradually ran out after leaving my job, I had to ask Erik for money.
Erik displayed reluctance when giving me living expenses each month. He openly expressed the challenges he faced in single-handedly supporting the family and blamed me for spending money lavishly.
