Help! My Husband Left Because I Didn’t Tell Him About My Raise

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice. So, here’s the deal: I recently got a raise at work and decided not to tell my husband, Gregory, about it. I thought it would be better to keep it to myself for a while and surprise him later. But things didn’t go as planned.

Gregory found out about my raise from a mutual friend, and he got really upset. He felt betrayed and accused me of hiding things from him. We had a huge argument, and he ended up packing his stuff and going to stay with his mom. Now, I’m sitting here feeling like the worst wife ever.

I didn’t mean to hurt him; I just wanted to handle our finances better and maybe save up for something special for us. But now, I’m not sure if I made the right decision. Should I have been more open with him from the start? How do I fix this mess?

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Any advice on how to make things right with Gregory would be greatly appreciated. I’m really worried about our relationship and don’t want this to be the end of us.

Thanks in advance for your help!
