, the woman says that her mom, who is not from the United States, “happened to fall in love with an old American.”

He was so against it that the two even had a fight about it, with the husband being “cold” to the older man and disrespecting the woman’s mother in the process, the poster writes.

“To cut the long story short, this man died after a brief illness (after being with my mum for about 4 years),” she adds.

When he died, the man left $150,000 worth of property in the poster’s mother’s name. The mom then sold one of the properties, netting about $100,000 in profit and gifting her daughter $20,000 of that.

Writing that she “happily accepted” the money, the woman adds that she planned on using it to purchase an investment property in Nigeria, where her family is from, but her husband “is demanding we use the money for ourselves (invest in our real estate business) which I am not comfortable with.”

“I understand what he owns is mine and vice versa, but this is the money of the same man he loathed,” she writes, adding: “Am I wrong for not wanting to share the money with him?”

Adds another commenter: “Give the money back to your mother, have her buy a property in Nigeria for you, and then transfer the title into your name after the divorce. Because that’s coming eventually.”
