Our marriage is only four months old, and ever since we got married, my husband has always done something that made me feel trusted and valued. Every month, as and when he received his salary, he would hand the entire amount over to me and ask me to keep it for him. He’d come for it anytime he needed the money.
Unfortunately, that has changed because of one misunderstanding.
We had an argument one day, and I was so angry that I acted without thinking. Thus, I sent all the money back to him instead of keeping it as I usually did. Looking back now, I know I let my emotions get the better of me, and it was not the right thing to do.

But we discussed the incident in detail, I apologised for my actions, and I promised him that something like that would never happen again.
But ever since then, my husband has completely stopped giving me his salary to keep.
Instead, I recently found out that he now gives the money to his sister to keep for him, and he does it privately without telling me.
That is the part that is really hurting me.
I understand that my actions during our argument may have broken his trust for a moment, but I admitted I was wrong, apologised sincerely, and promised never to repeat that mistake. I thought that after talking things through, we had moved past it together.
So why is he now choosing his sister over his own wife?
I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone
I cannot stop asking myself whether this is a sign that he no longer trusts me or whether he has more confidence in his sister than he does in me. It makes me feel embarrassed, disrespected, and pushed aside because this was something we always did as husband and wife, yet now another person has taken my place.
Am I overthinking this, or does this suggest that my husband no longer respects or trusts me the way he did before?

If you offend someone and you apologise, you don’t determine how the person should react after the apology.
If you could return his money to him because of a misunderstanding, what would you do when there is a big fight?
He’s setting boundaries understand him. Emotional maturity is needed for marriage.
@Mine, you always wow me with your excellent comments πππ
Now THINK BEFORE YOU ACT!
Someone entrusted you with their heart, asking you to handle it with care. Despite a minor misunderstanding, you let go, causing significant hurt. If this had been something more valuable than money, your reaction would likely have been the same. As a result, you no longer deserve that position of trust. Consider asking other married women if they have experienced such an opportunity, which you have unfortunately lost. This may help you realize the value of what you have missed. I wish you well in your marriage and encourage you to move forward, as that opportunity is no longer available.
Tell him to open a savings account and keep his money there even if he isn’t going to give it to you anymore because life happens and her sister can spend it and it will affect your nuclear family. Make him understand you, let him know you’re coming from a point of logic. Can’t he keep his own money? Is he a child? Smh!
Why do you want to keep his money at all cost ?
Why will you give all your salary to your wife or your sister.My brother does your put all her salary on the table.Find something better to do with your money or invest it.A married should no more aaaah donβt disappoint brotherhood
