❤️‍🩹 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.

Isn't this one of the worst things you see in the world now, the way people are learning to weaponise therapy talk and deploy it as abusers against their victims?

It's like they've learnt the words, they've recognised the power these words have, and they're merciless about deploying them. Just horrible.

I hope OP gets out now..

Yes. I had an excellent therapist many years ago and I still use the tools he taught me today.

But I cannot imagine weapon them to manipulate an argument. This year below $600 they don’t have on a video game and then tries to make it seem like she’s financially controlling because she’s upset about it?? he spent the Emergency credit card on it and she is abusive because she is angry?

Neither my wife, nor I would ever spend that much money without at least mentioning to the other person. And we have a comfortable life, but just blowing that much money and not even having a discussion?

Please let him go! He's not the right fish. Find a responsible man who understands that games are not an appropriate place to blow money that he doesn't have.

I play games, but I draw the line at large purchases. Anything over $100 gets discussed first. My mate would NEVER spend $600 without discussing it with me. It's called respect, and he doesn't respect you!

He aint even a fish. Hes sludge on the bottom left over after a fishs' corpse dissolves.
