Husband insists that his wife sell the $3K worth of designer clothing her friend gifted her so they can buy a new couch: 'He's upset and saying I'm putting this fabric before our families comfort'

There's something so special about getting a gift from a friend. It doesn't matter whether it was cheap or expensive; the fact that someone else cared enough about you to find something that suits your fancy is an incredibly kind and underrated gesture of friendship. While gift-giving might be seen as the most superficial of all the love languages, it's far more complicated than simply buying something that kind of reminds you of someone.

There's nothing more insulting than selling a gift for profit. Regifting something you really don't like and won't use is one thing, but selling a gift from a friend really breaks all the unspoken rules of gift-giving. If there's a gift receipt, that's one thing, but that isn't what's happening in this story. A woman's husband pressured her into selling $3K worth of Armani dresses her friend gifted her so they could buy a new couch.

$soscalene NTA. They're yours, not his. If he got gifted something expensive that he really loved would he be willing to sell it? Regardless, a price tag is one thing but you might only get a fraction of what they're "worth" if you're able to successfully sell them in the first place. Online reselling websites and brick and mortar consignments both will take substantial fees, but clothing in general doesn't keep its value unless it's a specific item that someone has been searching for in particul$
