He even sent money to my parents when I wasn't aware. One night while spending the weekend at his end, he said, "Let's get married." I said, "Yeah, after I'd found a job. I should get my life in shape before." He responded, "There are more days after marriage. You still can look for a job and land a job. Forget about job now and let's settle down.” They said, "Job search is an everyday thing. Marriage comes around once in a while. Grab it now and search for a job tomorrow." So in August 2014, we got married. Just one month after marriage, I found a job that paid me well enough to put my life in balance. "You would expect that my husband would leave some of the financial burdens on me to cater for them but no. He did everything. When I said everything, I mean even toilet rolls, he didn't allow me to buy them with my money. He said,"You started making money not too long ago. He didn't have money like he used to but he still wanted to carry all the financial burdens. "I started by finding money in his pocket. Every time I washed his clothes, I called to tell him I'd found money in his pocket. You could see happiness lit up on his face instantly. He would ask,"Really, how much?" Before I could say how much, he would come and snatch the money from me and start counting it himself. I kept hiding money in his pockets and washing them so he could claim ownership without shame. It got to a point the money in the pocket thing became suspicious. I didn't want to disturb you so I picked money from your wallet and paid. I knew he wasn't going to ask for help so the next day, I looked for a vendor and sent him mobile money. The following day, I sent him another money through another vendor. When he came home in the night, he complained to me, "Someone had mistakenly sent me money on my phone. It had happened twice already. I thought it was a mistake but till now, nobody had called to ask about the money." I told him, "It happens. If it's a mistake, the owner would call so don't worry.” Two days later, I sent someone to put money in his bank account. I was waiting to hear him say, "Can you imagine my bank account has money I don't know where it came from?" We never had that discussion. Source | Summary
