I Banned My Husband from Sending Money to His Mother — She Claims I Ruined Her

Matteo and I have been married for four months, and while we were dating, his mom would often ask him for money. Matteo used to send her large amounts, but when we got engaged, he agreed to stop. Recently, his mom asked for $15,000 for a vacation, and when he refused, she accused me of interfering.

During lunch with my father-in-law, I brought it up, and we learned that his mom had been secretly taking money from their joint account, lying about helping with our wedding. My father-in-law left, furious, and later repaid the money. Now, they’re temporarily separated, and Matteo’s relatives blame me for exposing the truth.
