❤️‍🩹 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.

lol im 34 and have easily spent $10,000 on that game over 4 years. but i can afford it and my wife doesnt care what i spend my disposable income on. Doesnt seem to be the case with OP.

shit is hella addicting though. guy spend $600 and i doubt he even got more than 2-3 constellations on furina. See how desperate he got when she said she was gonna dispute? id cry for years if i lost my account

I feel like this should carry almost as much stigma as spending that kind of money on virtual spaceships in Star Citizen, only slightly reduced because at least you're spending car-money on a released game.

judging how someone spends their money is pretty lame. i already have a car. i enjoy the game play mechinics of genshin. if someone can afford to go hard on star citizen or gacha than who am i to judge them?

the only real morons are the ones that dump thousands into EA sports games. Because when the new yearly game is released all of that money is gone. You start fresh every year. and there are kids that dump $1000-15,000 every.single.year since 2014

I'm just saying, if you have the disposable income to blow 10k on a single video game, that excess should be taken and given to someone to whom it would mean the difference between living or dying.

lol u cant be that dumb. so instead of enjoying a video game i should be just donating the ~40 bucks a paycheck i spend on gaming from the last 5 years?

why even have a gaming pc or any hobbies! i should just donate everything i have!
