She Freaked Out On Her Husband For Surprising Her With A New Bike Because He Initially Lied And Used Part Of Their Emergency Fund To Buy It
This woman and her husband recently just bought a new apartment, which they were super excited about.
But that also meant that basically all of their savings had been wiped out– well, except for their emergency fund, which could support them for about four months maximum.
And on top of that, about a week ago, her husband decided to take their car in for an oil change.
Rather than just getting that service, though, her husband told her that the mechanic found a bunch of other issues with the car.
So, her husband said he was going to take money out of the emergency fund to cover the auto repair costs. After she saw how much cash her husband had taken out, though, she was devastated.
“It was about a quarter of our savings, and it ruined my entire week,” she recalled.
Just yesterday, though, her husband came home with a really expensive surprise out of nowhere.
Apparently, she had been dreaming of getting a new bicycle for the past few months but knew there was no way in hell they could afford it at the time.
Then, her husband just waltzed in with a brand new bike– and was clearly over the moon to give it to her.

She was understandably confused, though, and asked her husband where he managed to get the money from.
Well, that’s when she found out that her husband had lied to her– and she was furious.
“My husband told me that the car did not actually need work done the previous week,” she revealed.
“Instead, it was just an excuse to get the money out of our savings without me getting suspicious and ruining the surprise.”
So, she ended up totally freaking out on her husband and telling him that he needed to return the bike immediately to get their money back.
She also kind of berated her husband and called the bike a “terrible present” since he both lied to her and made her really worried about their financial situation at the same time.
And afterward, she could tell that her husband was pretty devastated by her words. He also claimed that he was just trying to do something nice for her and that she deserved the bike after how much stress she had been under the past few months.
Regardless, though, she told her husband to bring the bike back anyway. Then, she decided to call some friends and vent about the situation.
But, to her surprise, none of her friends really understood where she was coming from.
Instead, they kept making remarks about how sweet her husband was and said that she should have been grateful he went out of his way like that.
Moreover, they even told her that she should consider apologizing to her husband– something that she was not expecting to hear at all.
So, after hearing her friends’ perspectives, she has been left torn. At first, she did not think she had overreacted whatsoever.
But now, she is starting to wonder if freaking out on her husband like that after he just tried to do something thoughtful makes her a total jerk.
Do you think her husband bought the new bike with good intentions? Do you believe she had good reason to freak out on her husband about the purchase or not? If you had been in her shoes, how would you have reacted to the present?
