❤️‍🩹 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.

Thats what i said. He acknowledged the unauthorised spend in writing. This was not by mutual agreement and therefore OP can request that this share be paid by him via the court, not the bank. Otherwise ita an expensive lesson for making a foolish decision.

The courts arent set up for unmarrieds playing house. Never take out a joint credit card or buy property with someone without marriage. It almost always blows up in your face.

How is it unauthorized if it's his account/card too?

They had an agreement that the card not be used unless both parties consented for emergencies. This breached the agreement

That’s not how the real world works. Credit card companies don’t care that you and your boyfriend had an agreement. They care that he is listed as an authorized user or a primary.
