Her Fiancé Literally Stole The Christmas Gift She Purchased For Her Sick Brother And Then Her Fiancé Got Upset That She Called Him A Thief
A 30-year-old woman has a 16-year-old brother who was diagnosed with a heart condition when he was born.
Due to her brother’s diagnosis, he hasn’t been able to really be a child in the way other kids his age have been able to, and his heart condition prevents him from doing a lot of his favorite things.
Her brother’s heart condition has also caused her mom and dad to really struggle financially because of all of his medical expenses.
Her parents simply don’t have the money to buy her brother many things that he wants, such as a gaming console.
Her cousins and uncle will come to babysit her brother and bring along their gaming console so he can play with it, and that’s the only time he gets to use one.
“My brother has been feeling sad and lonely recently after his doctors recommended that visits be limited,” she explained.
“I decided to use my salary to get him his own console and wait until Christmas to give it to him. I bought an Xbox and has been sitting in my closet until I discovered that my fiancé took it and sent it to his nephew who lives states away.”
As soon as she realized the Xbox was gone, she asked her fiancé why he stole the Xbox because he knew it was her brother’s Christmas present.
Her fiancé replied that his sister is a single mom who can’t afford to buy any Christmas presents for her own son, so he wanted to do something.

“He told me he felt sorry for his nephew and wanted to cheer him up but didn’t have money, so he thought that he could send him the Xbox, then we’ll figure out what I’m going to gift my brother together,” she said.
She let her fiancé know that he stole her brother’s Christmas present and that he didn’t have the right to do that.
Her fiancé was surprised she called him a thief, and he was upset about that. Her fiancé then tried to say that her brother doesn’t even need the gaming console because he’s sick and probably won’t be able to use it that much.
Her fiancé also said her brother doesn’t even have friends to play the Xbox with because of his heart condition as another way to justify him stealing it.
“He was hurt I called his good deed “theft,” but I stood by what I said and demanded he either pay for the Xbox or pay me, but he acted more hurt, calling me callous and mean to take a gift from a child like that, but I said I didn’t gift his nephew this device and so it is not my problem,” she continued.
Her fiancé then ignored her, packed up his things, and spent the past few days at a hotel. He’s saying she “hurt him deeply” and has been “unfair to him.”
Her fiancé also now expects her to let this whole thing just go because he was trying to do something nice for his nephew.
Do you think that what her fiancé did is ok?
