I don't want to marry someone who only makes $900 a month there's no reply for my mother-in-law on the phone maybe she's stunned hello are you there I'm talking about the mother of a man who only earns $900 a month what are you talking about I'm saying Aaron only makes $900 a month from his part-time job I think you might be missing a zero no I'm not it's really $900 a month my name is Maria and I'm a 29-year-old housewife I've been married to my husband Aaron for 5 years and we live in an apartment
we don't have children yet and though we're not rich we live comfortably and happily doing work we enjoy about 6 months ago things started to change my mother-in-law who lives nearby demanded to move in with us despite our efforts to explain that we couldn't accommodate her she didn't listen to my surprise Aaron supported her which caused a lot of tension between us then Aaron made a troubling decision after my father-in-law passed away a few years ago my mother-in-law had been living alone and managing fine but she started feeling uncomfortable being by herself and wanted to
move in with us the real reason though was that her house was old and falling apart she didn't want to pay for the renovations so she figured moving in with us would solve her problem when we got married Aaron promised that we wouldn't live with his parents his parents house is just a 10-minute drive away so if she needs anything we can easily go there also I know my mother-in-law has never liked me and often make sarcastic comments if she moves in with us she might become even more difficult on top of that she recently
quit her part-time job and is now unemployed if she moves in with us we would have to cover her living expenses too which we just can't afford right now despite this my mother-in-law said don't be so proud when my son supports you financially I tried to explain that I work from home and Aaron doesn't support me financially but she ignored me she'd insisted that with Aaron's income we could live comfortably but we can't manage on his income alone so I asked her she knew how much Aaron makes each month she replied confidently of course he's
my son and you're lucky he's well paid really how so if my husband's salary were really high then a part-time job working just 3 days a week would pay well too I said my mother-in-law acting Superior offered to handle the house work so I could focus on work she then criticized me saying you can't manage your finances well even though my son earns so much aren't you a big spender I responded no I'm working hard every day and saving money I'm not a spender she then said aside from money this apartment is too small for
three adults why mention that she casually asked do you want to move to a bigger place or buy a house Aaron influenced by his mother started to change his mind I wondered if he couldn't stand up to her or if he actually wanted to live with her he began to complain telling me not to be so stubborn about his mother he even said something that made me question his true feelings it's more enjoyable to live with my mother isn't it Aaron asked what are you talking about he says she'll take care of the housework for
you it would make things easier for you Maria Aaron seemed fully on board with the idea of moving in with his mother I didn't know what to do I tried to to resist as much as I could but out of frustration Aaron took drastic action while I was out for the day he moved out of our apartment when I came home that night and saw that his things were gone I immediately called him where are you all your stuff is missing yes I moved out you moved out where did you go I bought a house
bought a house with what money um hello it sounded like my mother-in-law was covering the phone yes that's right my son and I will be living in the new house for a while we might move in with you later if you change your mind you probably can't even afford the rent there on your own you better be sorry okay well excuse me hello my mother-in-law kept making sarcastic comments but I felt ridiculous and ended the call quickly they bought a house they must be lying there's no way Aaron and my mother-in-law could afford a house
with their finances I don't know where they are but they can do whatever they want honestly I can live on my home without Aaron and manage financially I was already paying the rent myself so I'm not worried I started seriously thinking about divorce a few days later I got a call from my brother hey Maria long time no talk you know Aaron and his mother are at my house right what my brother owns a house after he bought it he got transferred and I've been managing the house since then hold on a second I immediately
checked the safe in the bedroom the key to my brother's house is missing Tom the key is gone did you call Aaron no I'm actually watching the house from outside I'm sorry Tom it's just it's a long story I think I have a pretty good idea of what's going on what should I do we can call the police right away yeah but they're your family I don't think the police will intervene that's true I'm sorry I'll handle it in a couple of days can I ask you to wait a bit okay let me know if
there's anything I can do to help thanks as soon as I got off the phone with my brother I called my husband oh I hope you're feeling sorry by now why is my mother-in-law picking up where are you oh you don't sound very sorry to you where are you I don't mean to tell you anything I'm mother-in-law said smugly you're desperate aren't you you don't want to give up your husband with a $99,000 monthly salary she continued $9,000 salary who are you talking about of course it's my son son a son with enough money to
buy such a splendid house haa I couldn't help but burst out laughing what's so funny she asked sounding offended Aaron said that if you don't listen to him he's willing to divorce you I see then divorce is fine I replied calmly how stubborn are you if he dumps you he won't be able to make it on your own will you of course I will I said confidently I don't want a husband who only makes $900 a month there was no response from my mother-in-law on the other end of the phone maybe she was speechless hello
are you there the mother of a man who only makes $900 a month I asked again what are you talking about she finally replied I'm saying that Aaron makes $900 a month from his part-time job I explained I think you're missing a zero she said no I'm not it's $900 a month when I asked Aaron about his salary he said around 9 yes that's right around 9 I confirmed well I guess it's hard to believe that your son only makes $900 I said $99,000 is quite a high salary she replied still clinging to her misconception
it was thanks to my salary that we could pay all our expenses by the way my salary is around 500 you me 5,000 according to how you're thinking I'm not being supported by him my husband quit his job a few years ago since then he's only worked part-time 3 days days a week when I told my mother-in-law about this she didn't react I continued with my story by the way the house you're living in right now the one you think my husband bought it actually belongs to my brother what no Aaron bought this house she
insisted my brother bought the house and I was in charge of it while his family lives in another area he gave me the key and Aaron took it without permission what you and Aaron did is a criminal act and I'm going to report it to the police wait wait a minute my mother-in-law blurted out clearly caught off guard okay we'll leave but please don't call the police my mother-in-law hung up the phone shouting I'm sure she and Aaron are in a heated discussion now when I went to check on my brother's house afterward both Aaron
and my mother-in-law were gone they must have rushed back to her house in a panic I immediately contacted my brother and apologize for the trouble my husband had caused I still had one thing left to do divorce my selfish husband hband I signed the divorce papers and sent them to my in-law's house a short while later my husband called me in a panic you're kidding right I'm sorry and I apologize about the house so please reconsider Aaron pleaded over the phone I can't be married to a thief please enjoy living with your mother whom you
love so much I can't stay with someone who doesn't respect me get a full-time job and good luck making $9,000 a month I reply firmly Aaron didn't sign the divorce papers right away so I hired a lawyer with legal help the divorce was granted without much hassle I was finally free from The Impossible situation of dealing with my husband and mother-in-law trying to force me into living with them my ex-husband and mother-in-law continued to live in a Shabby house Aaron tried to find a full-time job by going to the unemployment office but because he had
been working part-time for so long it was difficult for him to find a company willing to hire him full-time they are still living on his $900 income and my mother-in-law had to start working part-time again my mother-in-law now complains to him every day and they fight constantly I moved out of the apartment I had shared with Aaron and into a new place I no longer have to support him financially and now that I'm on my home I can focus on my work from home even more than before my income is steadily increasing and once I
save up enough money I'm planning to buy a house for myself her husband just didn't understand his own situation did he if he had thought about it properly he should have been grateful to his wife instead because he didn't appreciate her he ended up in this unfortunate situation it's a good thing that Maria divorced him Maria enjoy your peaceful life from now on thank you for watching please subscribe to the channel if you enjoyed this video see you in the next one
