We all know that money does not equal love, or happiness, or even success. And when it comes to gift-giving, especially among two adults, it's really that thought that counts. What happens though when you can tell the thought was not put in towards your gift from your person?

This woman saw that her husband spent thousands (yes, thousands) in total when buying gifts for his coworker, but only got her a relatively cheap spoon set. Is she in the wrong for feeling skimped?

    Facial expression - I F35 wanna begin by saying that in every holiday me and my husband M33 (we both work decent jobs) set separate budgets for gifts. He uses his own money to buy gifts and I do the same.

    Font - I found that he's friends/co works were on top of his list with gifts that cost over 5000 total. For example: he got an $600 wristwatch for his co worker, a $250 bracelet for his sister inlaw, and a $900 workout gear for his friend. There was more but that's all I could remember. What made me upset was that when I got to my name saw that he bought me a $20 something kitchen spoon set (stainless steel). I was too shocked to ignore this and I had a confrontation with him about it. He argued

    Font - Issyswe · 20h Certified Proctologist [21] NTA. I'm stunned reading that the most important person in his life is worth less thoughtfulness than a coworker, which can come and go. In most marriages, assets are considered jointly and spending decisions are made jointly as well within a certain limit. His Xmas spending, even with a huge income, seems very excessive to me..and kinda inappropriate/unprofessional especially if they can't reciprocate on that level... G Reply 4 8.3k 3 + ...

    Font - Revolutionary_Use317 · 20h Partassipant [1] Bizarre. NTA. I could understand if it's a really thoughtful gift that cost like 1/4 of someone else's gift, but not even 10% of his sister-in-law's gift? Something's not right. He needs to sort it out. 6 Reply 1 2.5k 3 ...
