Husband Takes Business And Family To Another Country For Fishy Purpose, Wife Refusal Screams Out Of True Love

A husband, whose business is booming, decides to take his whole family to another country. He claims that it would help the business. Sounds legit, until his wife realizes that is not just about increasing income, but also avoiding taxes.

This is not a love story gone wrong anymore. It is not simply about true love versus money. It involves law. And the Reddit community is advising OP to take action immediately to protect herself, as well as her children.

Husband wants to bring booming business and family to another country to avoid taxes.

Not the actual photo.

'AITAH for considering divorce because my husband told me I was “dispensable”?'

My husband and I have been married for 22 years and we have 4 kids, all teens.

He owns a company that he started when we had been married just a year or two. I am a SAHM.

It's now very successful and worth tens of millions of dollars. Recently, he started talking about moving to another country for the business (tax purposes).

I told him I have no interest in moving to this country. They don't speak English, have a terrible education system, and my kids and I are happy here.

He said that if I am not willing to come, he can take the business and the kids and go anyway (I know that legally he can't).

He said the kids and the business are non-negotiable but I am dispensable.

This was incredibly hurtful, and I feel like he has been using me for 22 years as free childcare and support staff for his company.

I told him that I should be the part that's not dispensable. I said my feelings should matter.

He has full control over his business and moving would be completely voluntary, to avoid taxes.

I said he should prioritize me over money, and he said the business is his priority. And by making more money, he is prioritizing me and the kids.

I told him I don't want to be married to someone who does not make me a priority or care about my feelings. He said I was being unreasonable.

So AITAH?

Sometimes, money talks louder than love. Especially in this case, the husband’s intention is not just about his income, but it also involves avoiding taxes. This Reddit story is more than another family drama you read on Daily Highlight. It is about legal responsibility. Let’s break it down.

Her husband’s “dispensable” jab is the kind of plot twist that’d make a sitcom audience gasp. On one side, the husband’s chasing millions, arguing that more money equals a better life for the family.

On the other, the Redditor’s begging for her feelings to matter, pointing out that moving is a choice, not a necessity. It’s a classic clash of heart versus wallet, with her feeling like a prop in his empire.

This saga screams broader issues about family dynamics and power imbalances in long-term marriages. According to a 2023 study by the Pew Research Center, 60% of couples cite financial disagreements as a top reason for marital strain.

When one partner’s career overshadows the other’s contributions, like, say, raising four kids and supporting a startup, resentment can bubble up like soda in a shaken can.

The Redditor’s role as a stay-at-home mom isn’t just diaper changes and packed lunches. It’s the backbone that let her husband build his empire. Calling her “dispensable” is like saying the foundation of a skyscraper is optional.

Dr. Sue Johnson, a pioneering attachment theorist and relationship expert, emphasizes that “when marriages fail, it is not increasing conflict that is the cause. It is decreasing affection and emotional responsiveness…”.

Here, the husband’s focus on his business over his wife’s feelings dismisses that principle. His logic: more money, better life misses the mark when it leaves his partner feeling like a footnote, eroding the emotional responsiveness that should anchor their 22-year bond.

The Redditor’s demand to be a priority is a cry for the affection and attunement that Johnson describes as vital to lasting love, where partners tune into each other’s deepest needs rather than dismissing them for unilateral choices like tax-driven moves.

Yet, his insistence on control suggests a deeper issue: when does ambition become selfishness? Johnson’s research highlights how emotional disconnection triggers cycles of protest and withdrawal, turning shared vulnerabilities into isolation, much like this couple’s standoff over family uprooting.

Without rebuilding responsiveness through open dialogues about fears and longings, resentment builds, transforming a partnership into parallel lives.

For this Redditor, reclaiming connection might involve inviting her husband to share the emotional weight of his decisions, or, if unmet, seeking therapy to foster secure attachment.

Either way, prioritizing responsiveness over resources could be the lifeline their marriage needs.

Take a look at the comments from fellow users:

Some urge OP to quietly consult divorce attorneys and secure assets.

KindlyCelebration223 − He’s clearly state he wants to take the kids and his business out of the country.

He has access to a significant amount of money/resources. And, you are a potential obstacle.

Please proceed carefully to protect yourself and the children.

[Reddit User] − NTA don’t threaten divorce, do what the other commenter told you.

Surreptitiously consult with attorneys, get your ducks in a row. Even if you are not ready to divorce now.

If he’s that motivated by money he will try to hide assets from you.

[Reddit User] − Child and family social worker here. Delete this. Stop talking about it. Start asking about what a move would look like.

Pretend you're on board. Get an attorney now without him knowing. Get a copy of all assets now. And be very very careful please.

Listen_2learn − It’s time for you to secretly arrange consultations with ALL the best divorce attorneys in your area before choosing one and filing.

Once they have met with you, even briefly, they are considered biased and will have to recuse themselves from representing your spouse.

Prepare for war - the rhetoric he’s spewing is equivalent to “shots fired”. It’s a forewarning- and forewarned is forearmed.

You deserve better-and like the ex Mrs Gates and ex Mrs Bezos - make sure you secure your future and your children’s futures.

I’m sorry this happened and wish you all the best NTA

Others highlight the husband’s prioritization of business over family as a red flag.

forgets_it − Omg poor lady, im a man of 49 years, and i can tell you, without a doubt, you're not dispensable.

No, you're justified in your thinking you are the other half to his life the same way he is yours.

Without your shared decision in this, you will never be happy. Go be happy, just my 2 cents.

Away-Understanding34 − "he said the business is his priority." - he is telling you everything you need to know.

It doesn't matter what he says next. Like someone else said, start secretly meeting with divorce attorneys.

They can give you an idea of what the next steps would be. As much as you would like to debate him, hoping he will change his stance, he won't.

You need to protect yourself and your kids now so that he doesn't secretly move money off shore.

[Reddit User] − NTA. "I feel like he has been using me for 22 years as free childcare and support staff for his company."

That's how I feel, too, after reading this. I actually thought it before I read it.

I said he should prioritize me over money, and he said the business is his priority.

Soooo, not prioritizing you or the kids - this is common among business owners who have to build their own business.

They see it as more than a lover or a child, it's an extension of themselves. That's why so many of them have trouble exiting their business to retire.

I told him I don't want to be married to someone who does not make me a priority or care about my feelings. He said I was being unreasonable.

I don't think expecting to be your partner's first priority is unreasonable. In my industry, I work closely with business owners,

and they often fall into a category I call the Smeagols. They were cool at one time, then they found their precious (the business)

and they loved it and tended it and gave up themselves for it and before they even realize what's happening,

they've lost all their hair, hunch their backs, stop showering, and only care about the Precious.

That was a reference to Lord of the Rings and not meant literally, but these kind of business owners don't usually care about anything else

as much as their business. Not their partners, not their kids, not their own retirement. At some point, the business becomes everything.

The happiest partners of these business owners are the ex who took half their money and the hot young fling helping them spend the rest.

Some suggest OP owns part of the business and should act to protect her share.

phyrsis − Depending on where you live, there's a good chance that you own 50% of the company.

Does he really want his business to be half-owned by someone who hates him?

Clean_Factor9673 − Since you're dispensable and raised the kids, he's better off without half the business or the kids.

See the top divorce attorney. Or the top 5. Then file. Quickly.

catchmeloutside − If his company is worth that much, spend the extra money during the divorce to hire a financial investigator.

My aunt made an extra 2m during her divorce because of that investigator.

ExtraLengthiness5551 − OP - contact an attorney… that company was started when you two were married…

it’s probably partly yours too… get an attorney.

At the end of the day, this Redditor story is not just about love screaming its importance. It’s about something more, something that OP’d better take action before things start to get out of hand.

What do you think? What would you do if you were in OP’s shoes? Spill your thoughts, we’re all ears!
