Relationships should be 50/50, but unfortunately, that's not always the case. Sometimes, there will be a person that takes way more than they give, and that's when the balance of what should be a healthy relationship is off. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP expresses her disappointment over her husband not bing her a Christmas gift, even though she went out of her way to buy him gifts. He accused her of being too materialistic for wanting a gift, even though he spent the money that could have been used to buy her a gift to buy himself a video game. What an absolute hypocrite! Obviously, the Redditors were not pleased with his selfish behavior. Scroll down for all the details about this sad excuse of a husband.

    Font - AITA for wishing my husband would get me a Christmas gift? I don't know if I am being materialistic, my husband says I am so I want to post here and get some objective judgments. With Christmas coming up, I did want a gift from my husband, mainly for the symbolism like the thought of getting a Christmas gift, I know he doesn't have much money

    All he needed to get was a card, which will cost him nothing. He's just lazy and unappreciative.

    Font - because he's very reluctant to work and skips going to his part time job most of the time, so I told him it could be something small, like a little stuffed animal or a keychain or even a Christmas card, but today he told me he doesn't have money and won't have any until next year because he spent his last money on a video game he had been wanting.

    The fact that he spent the money on a video game instead of on his wife is pathetic.

    Font - He says I am materialistic for wanting a gift (even though he asked for several things which I already bought) and that Christmas should be about time with family instead of material things so I do feel guilty and like maybe I am wrong but I'm not sure.

    Font - If it matters I pay all the bills and living costs so it's not that I've ever asked for anything (he did get me a card on my birthday when I asked him to) so I don't think I'm that materialistic but I do feel a bit bad so is it unreasonable for me to want a Christmas gift given that it would be really cheap or is it a reasonable desire?

    Font - OutlandishnessNew259 · 5 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [9] NTA your husband is a lazy freeloader. Return every single present you bought him, every single one .pull a Grinch! Take the money and go by yourself something lovely, wrap it up put it under the tree. You deserve it! He already got a video game for Christmas from himself, and after all he wouldn't want you to go and spend money on your materialistic items for him now would he??
