Overworked Nurse Refuses to Buy Her Unemployed Husband a $6K Golf Set, So He Steals Money from Her

What do you do when you work long hours for months to make enough money to fix your home, only to find out that your partner (who is not working, by the way) has plans to blow all your savings on themselves? Of course, you would say no.

But what if your partner goes behind your back and takes the money? Oh, let's make it even more complicated.

Let's say that the couple is married and has kids. What now?

Breaking up is easy, but what do you do when there are kids involved? Some would say that it's grounds for divorce.

A person who has no problem watching their partner slave away for long hours day after day while they sit at home is not much of a partner. And on top of that, stealing their hard-earned money?

So many red flags. All over the place.

A Redditor going by the name u/ThrowAITA657577 asked a question: "AITA for demanding my husband pay back the $6,000 he spent on golf clubs?"

She shared her problem, and frankly, it is hard to believe that people like her husband even exist. Redditors commented heavily, and we are sharing some of the most interesting comments.

Take a look:

OP asks:

Reddit

She is an overworked nurse who is saving money to fix a ceiling in her family home. Her husband doesn't work.

Reddit

But he has expensive hobbies. Golf, for instance. And he needed $6K for new equipment.

Reddit

Of course, OP refused. So, he took the money from her account without asking her.

Reddit

She told him to return the golfing equipment and give her the money back.

Reddit

But her husband wouldn't let go.

Reddit

OP explained some things:

Reddit

Redditors were unanimous:

Reddit

Maybe OP could work more to afford her husband's golfing gear.

Reddit

Some Redditors proposed drastic measures.

Reddit

Others offered some useful pieces of advice.

Reddit

Some petty acts of revenge were also suggested.

Reddit

Other Redditors shared their experiences.

Reddit

It is obvious that the husband is trying to show off.

Reddit

Obviously, OP's husband is trying to maintain a lifestyle he can't afford. And the worst part is—he expects his overworked wife to pay for it.

It doesn't matter that the ceiling in his kids' room needs fixing. No, in his eyes, showing off in front of his friends (who probably often tease him about his finances) has become a mission and a dream for him. And nothing else matters.

A very dangerous sign, indeed.

Reddit

A golfer shared information about the prices.

Reddit

And was backed up by another golfer.

Reddit

That's how adults do it.

Reddit

This makes sense:

Reddit

That's like basic math...

Reddit

The bottom line is:

Reddit

Narcissistic people believe their problems, no matter how trivial they are, are more significant than any other problem in the world. So, that’s why it is hard to reason with them.

OP’s husband mentions that this would be the first time he would do something for himself. We find that hard to believe.

But the fact is that he believes it. Selfish people are all about taking.

And they believe they deserve more and more. We hope OP will overcome her problem.

And we don’t mean the golf set.
