Woman Uses Her Husband's Money to Purchase Their Daughter's iPhone That He Destroyed
The husband became so upset that he gave his wife the silent treatment.
People do the worst things when they're angry. They shout, spit out sharp words, or even break things around the house.
It's believed that the release of tension that leads to aggressive actions when we're angry is stress-relieving. Breaking objects is said to have the same venting effect.
A person may tremble as a result of their fury. Their heart may race, their ears may ring, and they may feel hot and flushed.
People can't think straight when they're angry. Sometimes, they feel the need to slam their hands onto something instead of directing their anger at the person.
But is this really the best way to release one's anger? It may help in the moment, but what if this person ends up destroying something important?
According to experts, this does nothing to manage one's anger. In fact, studies have shown that people who engage in such actions when angry are likely to do something worse later on.
A woman who shared her experience in the AITA (Am I the Asshole?) subreddit was upset by her husband's actions. Out of anger, the man destroyed his daughter's iPhone.
While he sees it as a distraction, the original poster thinks otherwise. The teenager's performance at school improved, and she became happier.
The original poster explains her situation.
She's the one who is working. Her husband, on the other hand, has money from his inheritance.

It sounds like she needs to skimp on her breakfast to escape from this man.

This man never sees that he's wrong, and that's dangerous.

After breaking the iPhone, we don't know what he's capable of doing.

The man is full of red flags.

Looking at the situation, the most irresponsible person in this household is the husband.

Redditors are concerned about the husband's behavior.

The bottom line: this marriage needs to be evaluated.

Pretty sure nearly everyone would agree that breaking things as a form of punishment is unfair.

He hasn't laid a finger on them, but people fear it will worsen over time.

It seems that he only broke the phone to justify that his daughter doesn't need it.

Above all, he isn't sharing his inheritance with the family.

Is it worth being married to a man who prioritizes his money over the happiness of his family?

The man has a misguided definition of marriage.

The original poster might also need to evaluate her husband's past actions to determine if he's abusive.

People believe the incident constitutes domestic abuse.

The folks at Reddit agree that the husband has displayed abusive behavior.
People are quick to suggest divorce, but perhaps the woman needs to reassess the situation as well. Given the current circumstances, it seems that the husband refuses to acknowledge the benefits of the iPhone for their daughter and the fact that what he did is utterly wrong and abusive.
