Abstract

Julian gave me a secondary credit card with a strict limit.

A daily cap of fifty dollars. Anything over that, I had to snap a picture of the receipt and text it to him for approval.

He called it "financial transparency in marriage."

I obeyed for three years.

Last month, my annual physical revealed a thyroid nodule. The doctor recommended a needle biopsy.

I took a picture of the estimated bill and sent it to him.

"$1,200 out of pocket?" he replied immediately. "For a nodule? Can't you just monitor it for now?"

I didn't reply. I canceled the appointment.
