When you love somebody, you don’t fail to inform them that a present you purchased for them has since been recalled due to the danger it poses, do you? Because when you truly love and care about another person, you don’t want anything bad to happen to them, right?
This 33-year-old woman received a back massager as a gift from her 31-year-old husband on Mother’s Day. Well, her husband bought it and said it was from their son.
She has a job working from home and her back frequently hurts, so she was excited about the present and used it on her office chair.
“This is (WAS) the most thoughtful Mother’s Day gift I’ve received, as he usually doesn’t put much effort [into it] or forgets,” she explained.
“I recently discovered that the back massager was recalled, and customs were rejecting them at the border. The reason is high-severity electric shocks and the potential of fire.”
“My husband told me this after I mentioned I had used it earlier, and it had helped my back pain. He then started laughing and said he was sorry he forgot and that he received the recall email a month ago.”
She questioned her husband about why he hadn’t said something to her immediately, and his response was that they were fighting, so he made the choice not to tell her as punishment.
He then claimed to have forgotten all about the recall warning. She and her husband fight pretty much nonstop, and her husband can’t even recall what that specific disagreement was about.
She feels so deeply hurt by her husband’s dose of honesty, and she’s wondering if she is being too dramatic, or if this is truly a red flag.

“Of all the times we’ve argued, I’ve never once thought about putting him at risk of anything, and this feels very callous. It’s left me wondering if my husband secretly hates me,” she continued.
“He laughed initially, but since I explained how it made me feel, he’s been very quiet and apologetic. It’s making me question his reactions and behavior recently, as he is definitely less patient and [snappier] with me.”
“I guess I’m looking for advice on whether I’m overthinking this or whether me being upset is justified? I would also like some advice on what to do about my husband. Would you talk to him? I just feel really confused by this is it’s not something I could personally imagine doing to somebody you love.”
Yeah, I’m going to go with her husband has to hate her, because no normal, loving spouse would dare to do this to their partner. It’s sick.
Her husband can’t even remember what they were fighting over, but still thought she deserved to potentially get electrocuted? Beyond horrific.
It’s insane to wish electrocution on your partner because you’re that bitter about a disagreement.
What advice do you have for her?
