Am I the jerk for calling my husband delusional for demanding I give him half the profit of my business that he didn't support in the first place?

0:07.6

My husband, 35-year-old male, is a bank clerk.

0:10.9

And I, 29, have a working-from-home job which I can hardly bear since I'm an active outdoor person,

0:17.1

and I like doing gardening stuff in particular.

0:19.9

I figured since I have a background in gardening,

0:22.5

I'd use our spacious backyard to grow flowers and sell them online, after arranging and organizing

0:28.1

them into bouquets. When I brought this up with my husband, he said this was the worst idea ever,

0:34.0

and added that this would be a major waste of time and money and suggested I look for a

0:38.0

second job instead. I didn't listen and started my business little by little. In a matter of 18

1:12.4

He said, well, I honestly didn't think your little gardening hobby was going to get you anywhere.

1:17.8

But now that business is flourishing, I want my fair share of the profit, and I won't settle for

1:22.8

less than 50%. I was honestly completely caught off guard by what he said. He's shown zero interest in my

1:29.9

business since it started up until this point. He in fact thought it was a waste of time and money.

1:35.3

I was puzzled and asked why he thought he should get any share of profit, let alone 50%.

1:41.3

His answer was that I was using his soil to grow my flowers on. I said that this was our

1:46.4

house and our soil, not just his since we're married and both our names are on the title. He said,

1:52.1

Actually, I owned this house long before you came along, so it's technically mine. I replied that he
