0:00.0 | 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 |

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, |
