Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : For reference, I’m an attorney and my SO is a software engineer. We’ve been married for 5 years. We have a 3 year old daughter and live a comfortable upper middle class life.

I won the lottery to the tune of 8 figures in my senior year of undergrad. After taking some friends on a 2 month European vacation, setting up trusts for my parents’ retirement and my brother’s college education, and paying for law school, I put what remained (not an insignificant amount) into various investment accounts. I don’t intend to touch these accounts until retirement. If all goes well, my SO and I should be able to retire before age 55.

There haven’t been any issues in our marriage as of yet. Arguments are easily resolved, our sex life is quite good, and we’ve never had to worry financially. My reluctance to tell my current SO about my wealth stems from prior relationships where it’s clear in hindsight that my former SOs weren’t interested in me but my money. But at the same time, I feel that I shouldn’t continue keeping a secret as big as this from my SO.

So, AITA for keeping my wealth a secret?
