It sounds like this couple's having all kinds of communication issues. The fact that this guy basically wrote a check that he knew he wouldn't be able to cash is really the start of all the problems. While his heart might've been in the right place, he definitely crossed the line. His wife went ahead and then escalated things by selling his precious Xbox. Hopefully these two are able to work everything out.

    Font - AITA for selling my husband's Xbox to buy back the antique tea set that he sold without consent? Not the A-hole Me F33 and my husband M31 have been struggling with money lately. work at a hair salon while he works at a gas station, basically have minimum wages that barely pay rent and other expenses. We do not have any savings nor do we have the ability to save money. It's been like this for years.

    Font - Recently I found out that the antique tea set that my grandmother gifted me was gone. My husband admitted selling it for $300+ to be able to buy a gaming chair for his nephew who's recovering cancer patient. I didn't take it well I told him this tea set was important to me and I wasn't willing to let it go that easily, now if he was selling it to pay off debts or rent then maybe but a gaming chair? No, not okay. He asked me allow him to explain and said that A. I don't use this tea set li

    Font - the $50 dollars from my sister. I paid off the buyer and he brought back the tea set. My husband found out and went off asking how I could do this to him. I asked him to hear me out then explained that I sold the Xbox since he was the one who gave away my antique tea set so he was responsible for getting it back. He said he promised to save money for me to get a better set but I insisted I wanted my grandmother's tea set and nothing else even if it's worth less because the sentimental val

    Font - MoyamoyaWarrior · 2d Certified Proctologist [29] NTA If he wanted his nephew to have the chair (understandable) he should have sold HIS stuff or discussed with you how you could have both come up with it. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. G Reply 1 978 3 ...

    Font - NTA. Your husband sold a family heirloom with great sentimental value and stubbornly refuses to admit that he was in the wrong because he does not respect your property or your feelings. Worse, he had no intention of even trying to get it back even after you confronted him, instead trying to gaslight you into thinking you were overreacting. If you just sold the console to get back at him l'd say you were wrong, too; but you did it to get your property back and I don't feel bad for him bec

    Font - NefariousnessGlum424 · 2d Certified Proctologist [28] NTA why can't he just buy his Xbox back with the money he is planning to save up instead of buying another tea set. He could easily buy the exact same Xbox that has not sentimental value versus a tea set that was from a family member has that irreplaceable sentimental value. G Reply 4 171 3 ...

    Font - TipTopC · 2d NTA. He stole from you. He sold it without discussion because he knew you would say no. You are supposed to be his partner, not his piggy bank. Your should try to find counseling that you can attend together to address this behavior and to determine if it is worth staying together. This may be difficult on your incomes but you may find your city or state has low cost options. Your behavior in in turn stealing his property is not ideal but I think forgiveable considering the u

    Font - mysticalmac99 · 2d NTA he sold a sentimental item behind your back and you sold a toy to get it back. If he makes promises he can't keep them he should pay for them. Plus it's interesting that he expected you to understand selling a one of a kind item of yours and was angry for selling something of his? G Reply 30 3 ...

    Font - IBeatHimAtChess · 2d Partassipant [1] NTA But don't keep your tea set in the house, or anything else you'd be heartbroken if he sold off. You need to keep them somewhere else, because I guarantee he's going to do it again. he has no right to go behind your back and steal from you. He didn't ask you if it was ok to sell off your precious heirloom from someone you cared deeply about. He took it secretly, behind your back, because he knew you wouldn't be ok with it. That's not ok behavior in

    Font - kgb-official · 2d NTA. He should have sold his own stuff in the first place. If he was planning to save money to buy you a new tea set, now he can do it to buy himself a new Xbox. Your tea set is one of a kind due to its sentimental value. The Xbox is replaceable, and plentiful. It won't be hard to get another once he has the money. G Reply 4 28 3 ... +
