My husband got a new job alhamdulillah, and I asked when we were talking about it that is the payment good? I didn’t ask how much or nothing too intrusive but still he became very defensive and told me that’s none of my business. Is this normal? Do you gals know how much your husband earns? Just for context I’m a SA...
