Her Husband Is Furious Because She Keeps Buying Flowers For Herself
Showing yourself little acts of love and care can be a great way to boost your mood without depending on loved ones. Plus, going to get a manicure, doing a facial, or even just buying a bouquet of flowers doesn’t harm anyone, right?
Well, this fifty-three-year-old woman thought so, too, but her husband strongly disagreed.
This bizarre bouquet debacle all stems back to the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, she had to go into her work office every single weekday. And since the world was ravaged by so much darkness, she decided to splurge on a pick-me-up.
“I got into the habit of buying myself inexpensive grocery store flowers about twice a month to brighten up my desk,” she recalled.
But then, about a year ago, her positive act of self-love got seriously misconstrued by her husband. In fact, he claimed that he hated how she bought herself flowers because, apparently, he should be the one buying her flowers.
And honestly, she thought he was just joking when he said that. So, she told her husband that he could always go out of his way and buy her a bouquet. Then, she left the issue at that.
This past week, though, the flower fight came to a serious head. It all began after she bought another bouquet to put on her desk at work– but this time, she was seriously impressed with her choice of stems and arranging skills.
Plus, since it was a long weekend, she decided to bring the floral arrangement home to keep on enjoying it.
After she placed the bouquet in her home and went to have dinner with her husband, though, he was far from pleased.

First, he apparently asked who had bought her the flowers. And again, since she thought her husband had been joking in the past, she decided to respond with a light-hearted tease.
“My best friend and biggest fan, ME!” she told her husband.
Unfortunately, though, her comment was taken way too harshly by her husband. In fact, he became infuriated! Her husband reportedly believes that she should not buy flowers for herself and that she is actually doing it just to make him feel bad.
However, that is obviously not the case, and she tried to tell her husband that he could buy her flowers whenever he wanted. After all, there is no such thing as having too many flowers.
She also explained how her buying herself flowers to feel happier throughout her workday had absolutely nothing to do with him. Regardless of her efforts, though, her husband just got more and more furious.
“He just started raising his voice and getting really angry– saying that this has been going on for a long time and that it is just another example of how I make him feel ‘less than,'” she vented.
So anyway, now she is at a total loss about what to do. She knows that buying herself flowers was never rooted in ill intentions. But, her husband’s furious reaction has made her question if she is somehow missing something about this situation.
Do flowers have to be bought by your significant other? Is her husband’s reaction a red flag? Do you suspect that there is possibly some deeper reason as to why he gets so upset after seeing the self-bought bouquets?
