It is time for that considering our decision to have only three kids. So one day, my husband and I were talking about what I intended to do. I told him about a business idea I have worked on including a plane, a name and a feasibility study I did in my spare time. He told me he was ecstatic about the idea and I’m so smart.

We spoke about the start date and the first phase alongside money which he agreed to finance while I pay back in instalments when I insisted I wanted the business to be entirely mine. He said thank God for me. He kept praising me until 4 weeks later when his sister came to the house With company documents.

She dropped it off and left and I decided to check what it was about. It turns out that my husband and his sister had registered the company and started implementing the business idea and plans. They even used the same name I wanted. He added our children’s names as directors but not mine my name is not on anything at all.

He is not accepting what he did is wrong. It is my business idea. How can he do this to me? I communicated my feelings toward what he did and he said what is his is mine and if anything happens to him I will inherit everything. I feel betrayed and I want to leave him. But I am not sure if this is enough reason to.

I have a trust fund from my parents which I have not touched and my parents are well tod. I also have substantial savings which are money gifts from my parents, siblings and friends. Leaving him won’t be a problem but I am not sure if it’s the right thing to do.
