Could our money fights be pushing him to cheat?
weve been together 6 years and lately it’s like we cant go a week without screaming about money. i make more than he does — not crazy more, but enough that he gets weird about it. last month i paid the rent alone and he didn’t even say thanks, just mumbled something about “owing him” later. then i found this hotel receipt on his phone — no name, just a charge. when i asked he said it was for a work thing but he’s never mentioned overnight trips and his boss was in the office that week. i don’t know if he’s actually cheating or i’m just paranoid but — every time we fight about money, he pulls away. like emotionally checks out. a friend said sometimes people cheat to feel powerful when they feel small at home and — maybe that’s stupid but it twisted something in me. we used to be so close, now it’s like every hug feels forced. i read something about love languages and i think he feels loved through touch but i’ve been so stressed i barely let him near me. also — he’s manglik and his mom always said he’d have marriage problems unless he married someone with the same thing. i didn’t believe it but now im wondering if i’m just not enough for him — or if im making him feel like nothing with all this money stress
