Husband Pays Over $5k For Friends’ & Co-workers’ Christmas Presents, Wife Is ‘Shocked’ Seeing The Price Of Her Gift
Here’s a shortened and paraphrased version of the story:
A newlywed woman was excited to celebrate her first Christmas with her husband. After three years of dating, they continued their tradition of buying gifts separately.
While tidying up, she came across his holiday shopping list. Curious, she took a peek—only to be deeply hurt. He had spent over $5,000 on others: a $600 watch for a coworker, a $250 bracelet for his sister-in-law, and $900 gym equipment for a friend.
When she finally saw her name, she was shocked to find he’d only picked a $20 set of kitchen spoons for her.
She confronted him, feeling hurt and undervalued. He dismissed her concerns, saying he could buy whatever he wanted since he paid for it all. He claimed she was being ungrateful and eventually called her a “spoiled brat.”
Frustrated, the woman turned to Reddit for advice. Most users sided with her, saying his actions showed a lack of respect and care. Some even called his behavior a red flag and urged her to reconsider the relationship.
The woman was left wondering—was she wrong to feel hurt? Or was this a sign of something deeper?
