I spent months saving for my fiancé’s dream PlayStation 5, despite our income disparity. Meanwhile, he lavished expensive gifts on his family. On Christmas Day, his “gift” to me? A bag of toothpicks.
Humiliated, I fled to the bathroom to collect my thoughts. My fiancé claimed it was a joke orchestrated by his younger sister. But when I confronted him, a heated argument erupted in front of his family.
My mother defended me, but his mother scolded me for ruining the mood. I spent the rest of Christmas at my mother’s house, reeling from the cruel prank.
The next day, my fiancé apologized and presented a belated gift. Yet, I questioned his maturity and leadership within his family. Reddit users overwhelmingly supported me, labeling the prank “cruel” and “stupid.” Many advised reconsidering the engagement.
This incident exposed disturbing dynamics within his family. His sister’s immaturity and lack of empathy, coupled with his failure to intervene, have shaken my trust. Our relationship’s future hangs in the balance.
