Man spends all his savings for Honeymoon on a gaming PC. Doesn't even see the face of his newly married wife anymore!

Ask me about my fanboy energy!


My fiancé and I got engaged in December last year. In January this year, we both together decided to save money every month for our wedding and honeymoon. In 6 months, we saved around $8000. Last month, my fiancé's bestfriend bought a new gaming pc, so even my fiancé wanted to buy one, so he asked me, but I denied it because we both already had laptops. I told him that he can play games in the laptop that he already has. He repeatedly kept asking me if he could buy a pc and I finally agreed to it (now I regret it so badly).

After a week, the pc finally came and with the pc, a new table and chair also was delivered. Apparently he had ordered a gaming chair and a table as well. That night, I asked him how much it all cost and he was a little hesitant to tell me. After a while he told me and I was distraught when I heard that he had spent our entire savings of $8000 to buy the pc. We had a very big argument that night and I scolded him for spending all our savings because that savings contained not only his money but my money as well. And we were saving it for our wedding. After everything I told him, his final reply was "I will earn it all back soon". I don't trust those words at all.

I thought anything worse than this couldn't happen at this moment, but it has. It has been about 2 weeks since he got the pc and since then, my finacé hasn't gotten up from his new chair. Ever since he got the pc, he hasn't even seen my face. The only time he talks to me is when he is hungry, he calls to me and tells me to get him something to eat/drink. I call him to watch TV and he denies it saying that he's busy. I call him to sleep together and he denies it and says that he'll sleep later. His sleep schedule has been fucked. He plays games the whole night and sleeps as 5am and wakes up at 2pm. He's asleep when I'm awake and he's awake when I'm asleep. From the past 2 weeks I've been so lonely that it feels like I'm alone at home and nobody to even talk to. He is ignoring me so much that I think he has absolutely forgotten that I even exist in his life. I honestly feel like his waitress now a days because from the past 2 weeks, the only interaction we both have is him asking for food and water and me giving it to him.

He has also 100% stopped doing all the house chores. From the past 2 weeks, I have been the one doing all the house chores and it's getting very hard for me to do it all alone. We used to share our responsibilities and do all the house chores together, but from the past 2 weeks, he isn't even taking care of himself. He is barely even brushing his teeth and taking a bath, let alone do the house chores. Also he is actually supposed to be working from home, but ever since the pc arrived, he hasn't even touched his laptop to work and he's isn't even seeing his phone to check if someone has called/text him anything regarding work. I'm now genuinely afraid that he might lose his job.

Everything that is happening right now is so bad, I called my parents and told them about it last night and they almost had nothing to say. I'm thinking of calling his parents tonight and telling it to them, and maybe they can knock some sense into him. I honestly don't know what else to do now. I want to burn that pc. It would be very nice if someone suggested me something about this. Thank you very much for reading this and thank you very much in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Tl;dr : My finacé spent all the money that we were saving for our wedding to buy a gaming pc and now all he does the whole day is play video games. He has totally ignored me and he has forgotten that I even exist in the house. He has also stopped doing all the house chores and has also totally ignored his work that he was supposed to do from home.
In future use the source instead of some random site. This is not even the best redditship story.

Damn, that sucks. Now he's stuck with something that will be useful to him for years instead of a few days of boring and overly formal celebration with overpriced flowers.

I didn't read past "this was posted on reddit." Was it an arranged marriage too? That makes me like the decision even more.

Heres another redditship story

Hey so my gf and I are both 25 (I’m a guy). We have been dating for 3 years, she’s a nurse and has been super busy and stressed lately so she hasn’t really had time to do laundry or her chores. I also work an essential job but I have the next few days off to rest and I wanted to surprise her by cleaning are whole place spotless and doing all of her chores for her. She gets anxious and more stressed when our home is messy but exhaustion has outweighed our desire for cleanliness.

So here’s my question, she has a bunch of undies and bras that she washes by hand in the sink, and then air drys, because she hasn’t had time to do it, she’s almost out of clean undies and I thought I’d wash them by hand for her. Just for an extra surprise. But they are intimate items and there are period stains and discharge that needs to be cleaned. It doesn’t really bother me (it’s natural) and I don’t want her to potentially be embarrassed by me cleaning it.

So for women or people in relationships, would it be okay for me to do this for her or should I just clean everything else and leave her undies for her to clean?

Quick update:

Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate it and upvoted all your posts.

I texted her asking if it was okay and she said “thank you, that would be really nice but you don’t have to do it, I know most guys find it groady, so it’s okay I can do it myself” so I took this as a yes and starting soaking them in cold water with soap as a lot of you suggested (thanks for that, I was gonna do warm/hot water and I definitely was probably gonna ring them out so I owe you guys).

I know she’s had some crappy experiences with previous boyfriends being grossed out and making her feel bad (which is super fucked) so I really just want to do what I can to make her feel loved and supported and all that gushy stuff so that she knows she never has to feel ashamed or embarrassed for being her.

Thank you all again for your advice. You’re all amazing!

Second update: I know it’s soon but holy crap this blew up fast. First I want to say thank you amazing Redditor’s for the awards and all the kind words.

Secondly, it’s truly heartbreaking how many people said they cried or wish they had someone like this, or that more men should be like this. I want to apologize on behalf of men who have let women down in that department (as well as a lot of other departments). It’s so fucked that you have to go through something that you don’t get a choice in and that so many people make you feel gross or lesser for it, I’m sorry you’ve all had to experience that. I know there is a lot of really important discussions happening right now and I wouldn’t want to take away from them but at the same time #teachkidssexed #Bloodyundies&unashamed #Natchyisbeauty #Bedecent #stopshamingstartwashing.

Also, I did wash/soak them in a sink and yes I thoroughly washed the sink before I cleaned the undies, they’re currently hanging to dry and the bras are soaking.

Natchy=natural.

You’re all amazing, thank you so much!!!

Bitches are temporary, gaming hardware is eternal.

As long as it works. At least it doesn't nag at you all day.

So clearly, don't get married. At least you're only out your half of the savings. Better than splitting half of everything.
It was probably some fake marriage to not bring shame to the family or some shit.

Other countries aren't super liberal USA so its a big deal in society

I always assume 95% of these stories from reddit are fake.

Times of India is leading newspaper. They GENERALLY dont cover random stuff from internet.

I dont think this happens in India.

Most marriages are arrange but you get 6months - 1 year after first meeting to finalise if you are ok with person.

This is just from Reddit ships, Times of India is not the source. Times of India is a joke anyway, you should be reading The New Indian Express or The Hindu for some real news on India. And ToI they cover lots of stupid stuffs.

I have an Indian friend. He was forced into marriage. It sucks. They just sent her over from India and she turned out to be a complete bitch.

Those living overseas have it extra hard.

Cool. You have it right.

But as I said, these newspaper publish stuff after some background check.

Stop praising ToI on GAF or I will haunt you across this site. They have published stuffs without any background before and I can prove that. They are just popular.

My wife came home from work yesterday and said "let's play some destiny for a bit". Once that was done she said "let's get in bed and watch king of the hill". Being married is glorious, we're going on 8 years. Problem is people get married without truly knowing each other.

I am not praising them. This is minimum they do as journalists.

If you dont want to believe, its fine. But credibility wise, I wouldnt write it off entirely. I am inclined to believe this one as it require minimal effort. This is not some insider information.

Reddit is the source and I would rather read it there. ToI has no credibility.
