His Brother Accused Him of Spoiling His Wife Too Much And Trying To “Compensate” For A Bad Marriage
This 28-year-old guy and his brother, who is 35, come from a “comfortable” family. Growing up, it was pretty well-known that his brother would one day take over the family firm.
However, his brother wound up wanting to become an engineer, so that didn’t happen. Instead, he stepped in and took over the business– because, apparently, he genuinely enjoyed it.
Alongside running the firm, he has also invested money and now has multiple income streams.
And since his wife came from a more “unfortunate” background, he now likes to fulfill her childhood dreams with the wealth he has built.
“I love to see her face when I take her to new places and buy her new things,” he said.
“And I honestly think that’s what she deserves. She has worked hard her whole life, and I just want to make the rest of her life easier.”
His goal is never to burden his wife with the same challenges she encountered as a child. Additionally, he knows that she struggles with her mental health.
So, he is glad to take her on vacations or send her on her own. That way, she can clear her mind and simply enjoy herself.
Now, he did admit that he is pretty obsessed with his wife. So, he realizes that he can sometimes go a bit overboard. But he doesn’t really care and thinks this is just his way of showing his wife love through his own love language.

For instance, he knew that his wife absolutely loved flowers, and at their wedding, the theme was even wildflowers. So, for their wedding anniversary last Sunday, he decided to fill their home with wildflowers.
“Yes, that seems dramatic. But my wife loved it, so I don’t care,” he said.
Then, later that same day, his family went over to the house to cook him and his wife dinner and celebrate their anniversary. He was having a great time for a while, too, and enjoyed sharing the milestone with his family.
Well, that was until he stepped away to talk with his brother after having a few drinks. First, the conversation between them was pretty civil, and they just discussed their wives. However, his brother eventually made an off-hand comment that made him really upset.
“You spoil your wife way too much that my wife thinks it’s to compensate for a bad marriage,” his brother told him.
This obviously really upset him, especially because his brother chose to say that on his anniversary. So, he snapped and told his brother to leave him alone. He also claimed that if his brother and sister-in-law really believed that, then they were no longer welcome in his home or around his wife.
Afterward, an argument ensued, and his brother and sister-in-law did eventually leave. But not before his sister-in-law shouted, “I don’t know how we treat that outsider like family.”
His mother was extremely upset about what happened, too, even more so than his own wife.
Still, in the wake of the major fight, he’s been left wondering whether he was in the wrong for telling his brother to get out.
Does it sound like he treats his wife so well to “compensate” for anything, or does he genuinely just love showering her with love? Is it anyone else’s place to have an opinion on how she shows affection to his wife? How would you have reacted in this situation?
