Am I the asshole for leaving over money?

We jump back into the Reddit rabbit hole and react to a post about a long term relationship falling apart under financial stress. What quickly becomes clear is that money is not the only issue. It is the catalyst exposing deeper problems like emotional labor, resentment, and power imbalance.

We talk about why financial independence matters, why women are often expected to carry both the money stress and the household load, and when walking away is not selfish but necessary.

If you have ever questioned whether you are asking for too much, this episode will feel validating.
