00:00The husband who had been married for three decades suddenly announced on the day he retired that he
00:03wanted to follow a strict split bill system with his wife. From that moment on he said that every
00:07matter big or small would require the two of them to divide all expenses evenly. He said his monthly
00:11pension was $8,000. He planned to keep that money for arranging his own personal affairs, and for
00:15the costs of water, electricity, and gas he said the two of them would each pay half. His family
00:19also felt that this arrangement was perfectly reasonable. They believed the woman had lived
00:23off their household for all those years and it was time to settle those accounts. Yet the reality
00:26was that ever since their marriage all the housework had been done entirely by the woman.
00:30Even the house had its loan paid by her own carefully saved money. Now his family dared
00:33to treat her as someone who could be discarded after being used. Unfortunately their calculation
00:37was completely wrong. To the husband's surprise the woman actually agreed to start the split bill
00:41system. Worried that her husband might go back on his word she calmly took out her phone and recorded
00:45a video as evidence. She stated that all shared household expenses would be divided in half,
00:49and all personal spending would be borne individually, especially any expenses related to their original
00:54families. Seeing the woman clearly drawing the line regarding responsibilities, the husband
00:58suddenly began to panic. But in order to maintain the dignity of being the head of the household
01:01he reluctantly agreed. The next morning the woman only made breakfast for herself, yet the
01:05husband still shamelessly asked where his breakfast had gone. The wife stated that since they had
01:09reached an agreement he should cook for himself, if he wanted her to do it for him he would need
01:12to pay $80 for the meal. This instantly made the husband furious. The woman pointed out that
01:17ever since the split bill system took effect the two of them were no longer functioning as
01:20husband and wife. They were more like business partners, so charging $80 for a breakfast
01:24was completely reasonable. The husband was left speechless, but the days that followed were when
01:28his real suffering began. Whether it was breakfast or lunch the woman only made her own portion.
01:32When the husband asked for fried fish the woman simply switched to the sashimi she preferred.
01:35If the husband refused to eat that was fine, but if he chose to eat then he would need to pay the
01:39cooking fee. Hearing this the husband became enraged. He claimed that even without eating her food he
01:43could still live just fine, but since he had never cooked in his life he simply could not prepare a basic
01:47meal. He not only made a disastrous mess in the kitchen but even injured himself.
01:51Meanwhile the wife cooked delicious meals she enjoyed every day, and the husband could only
01:55survive by ordering takeout for each meal. By the end even his mouth began to hurt, and because no
01:59one cleaned the shared areas of the house a thin layer of dust began to cover everything. The
02:02husband finally lost patience and demanded that the woman do the housework. But according to the
02:06split bill's agreement the woman had no obligation to clean the shared areas. If the husband disliked the
02:10mess he could clean it himself. Just as the husband was about to explode his mother rushed in
02:14frantically. She said the husband's younger brother urgently needed $30,000 to save his life. But the
02:19husband's pension for the month had already been spent and he could not gather that money. The
02:22mother-in-law then targeted the woman insisting she must have savings. So the husband arrogantly
02:26declared that they should use the couple's shared savings to help his brother. But the woman replied
02:30that any expenses related to their original families could not use shared household money. Nor could
02:34either side demand the other to pay. Knowing he was in the wrong for once the husband decided to ask
02:38the woman to lend him $30,000. Unexpectedly the woman required that interest be calculated daily
02:42following standard bank rules. The husband panicked and insisted that since they were still married
02:46charging interest between spouses made no sense. Yet the woman countered calmly. She said these terms
02:50were written clearly in the split bill's agreement. With no other choice the husband set his eyes on
02:54the house. It was their shared marital property. He claimed he had the right to mortgage it and
02:58exchange it for money to pay his brother's gambling debts. Yet under the agreement the woman also had
03:02the right to refuse the mortgage. So the two of them continued to remain at a stalemate.
03:05Ever since the woman refused to mortgage the house the husband intentionally targeted her in daily
03:09life. But to the woman none of that mattered. She could still live comfortably. However the
03:13husband was the one who could no longer sit still. Debt collectors called every day and the interest
03:17continued to soar. Being a retired official the husband cared deeply about his reputation. He
03:21could no longer endure the humiliation and threatened the woman with divorce unless she
03:24handed over the house. The wife asked through tears if he truly wanted a divorce. The husband
03:28thought she was finally scared. He threatened her saying that if she handed over the deed he might
03:32consider not divorcing. But the wife gave a cold laugh and immediately asked for a divorce.
