A WIFE has revealed that her millionaire husband asks her to pay rent to live together.
Some say she’s being treated like a tenant, but that’s not the worst of the relationship.
Redditor OrigamiTorbie wrote a post on her marriage on the social media platform.
“My husband is a multimillionaire but still charges me rent after 17 years together,” she said.
She added that they’ve been together for 18 years, but married for six years.
The wife also said that they share no children together.
“Here’s my dilemma,” she said.
“My husband is a millionaire many times over, and retired at 50. He inherited all his money from his mother four years ago. We’ve lived together nearly two decades.
“My sticking point is this: despite his massive inheritance, my husband still charges me a monthly rent and bills me for every tiny expense.
“I have a modest amount of savings, around $250k, but they are largely tied up in my 401k, so can’t afford to retire anytime soon.
“I work 40-plus hours a week, while hubby stays home and indulges in expensive hobbies like golf and sailing, and takes long trips without me.
“Is it unreasonable of me to expect him to share his good financial luck with me?”
The wife added that they moved into an even larger home, and while her husband was retired, she was making $80,000 a year.
This meant her husband raising the rent on her due to the larger space.
“I thought nothing more of it until COVID hit,” she said.
“Suddenly we were both home all day every day. Working remotely, I got to see first-hand how my husband spends his days.
“He rarely rises before 11AM, then after a round of golf at the nearby course he comes home, cooks a leisurely lunch, and spends his afternoon watching sports on TV.
“In short, he’s enjoying his retirement. But he’s left just one thing out: his wife.”

“He is constantly (and loudly) on the phone with his guy friends planning elaborate weekend trips away boating.
“And [he] goes on week-long getaways with a number of other richer retirees from our friend-circle every few months.
“In short, he’s enjoying his retirement. But he’s left just one thing out: his wife.”
Other Redditors shared their opinions on the matter in the comments section.
“Your husband is a multimillionaire partially because he charges you for rent and living expenses. He’s basically your landlord and it’s hella weird,” one said.
