Husband, 43, Says Wife Doesn't Work, Cook, or Clean — So He Asked If She 'Hypothetically' Made $300K, Would She Split Bills? She Said 'Never'

Most couples argue over real problems. He got laid off. She ran up the credit card. Someone's mom is living on the couch again. But this guy? He's spiraling over a joke. A 43-year-old husband said his 39-year-old wife—who doesn't work, doesn't cook, and doesn't clean—was casually browsing $300K job listings when she joked she might end up outearning him. Instead of flinching, he leaned into the fantasy. "That'd be great," he said. "We could finally split the bills." Her response? A flat-out no.
