My wife posted her salary slips in our family WhatsApp group and wrote something like, “Are there still husbands like this?” While it seems like a joke, I’m uncomfortable with sharing such personal matters with the family. After all, isn’t this something that should stay between us? But if I react immediately, would I seem like I’m overreacting? The family loves this kind of detail. If you were in my shoes, would you even address the topic?

9What kind of logic is this, what does it mean to send a pay slip to the family?
my partner thinks these things are fun. I told them I was uncomfortable, they stopped, but I went through a lot of drama during that time.
Is the group very active, for example, who is in it? Does everyone come in and out of the chat?
@benbisorayim usually my wife’s family talks a lot, her parents write a lot. My family members are quieter.
Honestly, I don’t understand why you wrote this topic here. The boundary issue with family is personal, everyone sees it differently ![]()
@soncaykaldi come on, let it go, it’s all in good fun after all, saying things like it’s a big deal is just an exaggeration.
I think if your spouse is boasting about their salary, it seems like there’s a feeling of inadequacy there. Nobody just makes such posts out of the blue ![]()
The border issue is very important; in matters like this, it’s essential for partners to share their sensitivities. I think you should talk to your spouse about this directly. Even if mixed with humor, clearly express your discomfort ![]()
next time, share your credit card limit too, okay?
