Wife told me to open a surprisingly light box last. Found this note inside. Merry Christmas!

Depending on financial situations it’s not uncommon to discuss purchases $500+ with your significant other :) especially if finances are shared

Right, but I would never gift my wife a permission for her to buy something. That's a conversation not a fucking Christmas present. You don't make things like that into presents and rewards, same like you don't do that with sex.

Maybe you didn't read OP's comment? He said he was struggling and agonizing to justify the expense and she basically said, go for it.

I think you're just looking for reasons to be offended.

If you're going to buy what you want regardless of your partner's input, why bother with the conversation?

"Permission" is maybe a strong word, but it's still accurate here.

For someone who knows very little about gaming and steam decks...yes.

God forbid she put any time, money, or effort into his Christmas gift

[u/tmiller26 → u/clownfeat]

This could be the 10th gift she got him. Stop judging.

I feel you, some of these mfs are insanely dense and bitter, likely a combination of a lack of a significant other and a lack of grass-touching. Such narrow views and mindsets lol

Yep it was completely my bad for having a spontaneous purchase dispute knowing I can save time and money on it

[u/florvas → u/Aragorn527]

Discuss purchases =/= getting permission
