A 27-year-old woman shared a funny yet frustrating story about her fiancé on Reddit
The story involves a couple who set up a joint account to save for their wedding planned for 2026. However, the woman (27) recently noticed a large sum of money had mysteriously disappeared. When she asked, her fiancé (29) admitted he spent $800 (over 21 million VND) on a new gaming console and accessories. His reason was that he “deserved to enjoy himself after a stressful month at work.”
The woman was furious because that money was meant for their wedding, not random spending. He defended himself by saying the money wasn’t gone forever and he would pay it back. But she explained they’re currently living very frugally, so $800 is a huge amount. She expressed disappointment, feeling he values video games more than their future together. In response, her boyfriend sulked and accused her of overreacting.
Reddit users quickly condemned the guy’s actions
Many saw this as a red flag showing he puts his personal wants above their shared financial goals. One commenter said, “He betrayed your trust and lied about money. If I were you, I’d break up. He values instant gratification from a toy more than your future together.”
Another added, “He just saved you a big headache because someone who does this isn’t the person you want to marry. Split the savings (make sure the $800 counts as paid back) and use your share to move out. This relationship isn’t ready for marriage.”
Another commenter shared, “My spouse and I always consult each other before spending over $50 (about 1 million VND). Spending $800 without any discussion is unimaginable and extremely irresponsible. Especially since that money was for your wedding. He can’t just blow nearly $1000 every time he’s stressed. If he’s about to get married, he needs to consider how his decisions affect you, especially big ones like this.”
