Commenters have been asking for some more of these that aren't so black and white and tread a little bit further into the areas of grey. Hopefully this one ticks a couple boxes on either side of the line enough to fall a bit further into that category.

Clearly this guy was trying to do the right thing. Those of us who have had supporting parents (or guardians/support structures) who have given everything for us know exactly this emotion. I've certainly thought and fantasized about doing exactly this. Who wouldn't want to ease their parents lives or buy them the car of the dreams. Especially given the fact that his father is disabled. Dude is just trying to help out.

What I'm saying is.... I get it. BUT. He should have gotten approval from the wifey and made sure that she was fully on board with this before dumping their savings down the drain. One thing is certain and that is that you will always find dissonance in relationships where people aren't on the same page.
