How to use "With-holds" in context?
If you have a loved one who routinely with-holds funds from your relationship, it can feel bewildering and heartbreaking. You may find yourself asking, "Why won't he/she help with bills or the mortgage?" or "Why won't he/she give me money for my birthday?" Unfortunately, in many cases, there is little you can do to change your loved one's financial habits. Maybe your loved one just doesn't feel comfortable handing over money, or they may believe that they are taking care of everything on their own.
