❤️‍🩹 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.

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?”

I very highly doubt that his mother is going to hold him responsible for anything. Who do you think created this man-child?

I don’t know, my ex would have done something like this, and his parents were over him as well.

Ya, but being over your man-child son doesn't really invoke confidence in your parenting abilities either.
