    Font - AITA for wishing my husband would get me a Christmas gift? Not the A-hole Adding this after the post: Ok thank you to everyone for the supportive comments and for hitting me with a reality check l'm not ready for. To be honest I think I have just been in denial that my husband is only with me for money. I guess I should have known because even though he worked full time when we were dating, he never took me on dates and that's fine not to go to restaurants or stuff that costs money but th

    Font - wanted to suggest something I might enjoy. Secondly after we got married after a month he actually told me he never loved me and was only looking for a "financial sponsor" but when he told me this I tried to take my own life and after that I could not accept the reality so i pretended he never said that and then he got a part time job but then stopped going and was going half of the time and now after this post (he didn't see the post, unrelated) he told me straight that he will never wor

    Font - 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 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

    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 l'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? 10.8k 3.3k 1, Share Award +

    Font - PetuniaGoBlue · 20h NTA. Can you make breaking up with him a Christmas present to yourself? Your husband is extremely selfish. You are asking for so little that it's painful to contemplate. Worse, you're asking for so little and wondering if it's too much! This man has warped your self-worth with his selfish, lazy behavior. You are definitely worth more than this! I know it's scary to think about leaving what's familiar, but there are better things (and people) out there for you. G Reply

    Font - OutlandishnessNew259 · 23h Asshole Enthusiast [9] S 1 Award 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?? 6 Reply 1 2.2k 3 +

    Font - 3Heathens_Mom · 19h NTA OPs husband sounds like a lovely self centered piece of work. Agree w you she needs to return any gifts she bought for him. And unless she wants to live like this forever I would personally check to see how much a divorce would cost. If she is paying everything plus giving this immature person money she could certainly reduce her expenses by eliminating him from her life. 52 3 + ...

    Font - Yogafunkgirl · 23h Partassipant [2] NTA - but you already knew that. He spent his last bit of money on himself(!) instead of doing something for the woman who supports him. It's Christmas and giving a gift to a loved one isn't materialistic: it's kind, loving, NORMAL, fun. In my house, it's hard to surprise each other with shared finances, but we still wrap up some things to enjoy the fun of Christmas, for us it's about taking time to celebrate our good fortune of being happy together.
