Guy Hides Inheritance Money From Girlfriend


This guy asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for hiding his inheritance money from his girlfriend and her family. The tough part about this particular predicament is that they had a kid together. A fair number of people are suggesting that the guy should try to be transparent when it comes to those finances.

Text - AITA for hiding the 135k I just inherited from my girlfriend and her family? No A-holes here Context: My girlfriend(22) and | (23) just had our first child a few months ago. The pregnancy was wildly unplanned as I am graduate school and neither of us were ever interested in children. About a year ago I learned that I was set to inherit over $135k from my great aunts estate who, due to severe schizophrenia, never married or had any children. She was a wealthy woman because of her father, a

Text - Right around the time I learned about this money my girlfriends family got in severe financial trouble which prevented her from finishing college.Then came pregnancy and our child. I have supported her and our child completely with this money but she has no idea where it is coming from and doesn't really push too hard to find out. I don't really have plans to tell her, and I sure as hell don't want her Dad finding out as l'm sure it will eventually lead to him asking for money for another

Hopefully you are earning a graduate degree is something that will earn you a real salary, as this money won't last for too many years supporting a family of three.

Text - ArishaSmile • 5d • Partassipant [1] NAH But it's a little concerning that you don't feel you can trust your girlfriend with this information. Depending on the seriousness of the relationship, you want to be able to be honest and communicate without secrets between you.

They're not married, he isn't legally obliged to disclose his inheritance unless in court. 2.) He is using the money to finance the child.

Text - psychodogcat • 5d Bro...you have a kid with them. Obviously you can do this if you want, withholding it from your girlfriend, but she gave fucking birth. That's tough. If you want to have a future with this person, tell them. Tell your girlfriend, and be honest. Not just about hiding it or whatever, but also that 135k can go very quick. If you are giving it to anyone outside immediate family, it'll be gone within 5 years. Not the asshole, but you could be if you don't tell her. I don't se

Text - BasedSunny • 5d YTA honestly. I don't see why you lied to your SO about this, l'd be pissed if my partner kept something like this from me. Not because I feel I'm entitled to the money, but because he feels I am so untrustworthy that he has to lie about it. If she finds out about this, and she will, you're fucked.

Text - thelastanonymouse • 5d • Certified Proctologist [23] YTA for hiding this from your girlfriend (who is the mother of your child). Not the asshole for hiding it from her famly.

Text - -Starwind • 5d The money is yours, obviously, but the fact that you don't seem to trust your GF (who you say you're very serious with) speaks about issues down the line. Be open with her, ask her to not tell anyone. Eventually she's going to wonder how you never miss a car payment or whatever.

Text - Csherman92 • 5d YTA. If you can't trust your girlfriend then you shouldn't be in a relationship with her or have had a child with her. You cannot have a successful relationship without trust and communication. Do I think the family needs to know? No. But your girlfriend does. She is the mother of your child and she is part of your family now. If you don't think she is, then don't continue this relationship.

Text - StoleMyPimento • 5d • Asshole Aficionado [12] NAH But if I have to add if neither you nor your girlfriend were using birth control, it wasn't a wildly unplanned pregnancy.

Text - wobblebase • 5d • Professor Emeritass [90] YTA if you hide the money and stay with your GF. You're having a kid together, unplanned but there you are. If you can be partners and coparents it's time to reassess the relationship.
