Marriage struggles: A woman's account of financial deception and neglect
A personal account details the emotional and financial strain placed on a woman named Huyen due to her husband's perceived incompetence and lack of responsibility. After marrying in her 30s, Huyen discovered that her husband had been concealing his income and shifting all pregnancy and childbirth costs onto her.
Despite a brief separation and a subsequent attempt to reconcile under a formal financial agreement, the husband continued to hide earnings in a private fund and practiced extreme financial stinginess. The situation escalated when the husband neglected his parental duties, leaving their sick daughter unattended to go out with his parents, despite prior agreements to assist with medical care.
