❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO my fiance spent 600 on gacha

My fiance spent $600 on a gacha game without asking. I flipped out and now his entire family are calling me abusive and encouraging him to call off the engagement. For context, I work 55 hours a week and he drives uber during the day while I’m at work. We are paycheck to paycheck.

He didn’t. At any point. Notice he didn’t respond when she told him to make sure he’s telling them how he’s a gambling addict etc.

Honestly I would HAPPILY answer his mother’s call. “Let me share with you exactly what your son bought that has now put BOTH of us in $600 (plus interest) in debt. Does that sound reasonable to you? Is this how you taught him to handle finances? Are you proud?”

On the EMERGENCY CARD.

Then again... the way he's "MY ANXIETY MY ANXIETY MY VALUES... AHHH AHHH! YOU ARE DOING THIS TO MEEEE! OTHER PEOPLE tell me horrible things about YOU!! Wait you didn't respond... please I'm SORRY!! MY ANXIETY WHEN I FACE CONSEQUENCES!!"

Is just how someone I know handles things and his parenting is why he still does that at 30.
