Husband spends more money on family than me
I know the title makes it seem so bad! But basically I’m trying to get a second hand opinion on how others would feel in my situation. So it was my bday recently, and my husband didn’t get me anything as I “didn’t pick anything”. I’m pretty specific on the things I like but it hurt me a bit that he didn’t put in the effort beforehand to at least give it to me somewhat on the day. It’s been a month now, and he’s looking into watches that are in the $200-$350 range. Now his family is also coming from abroad for his brothers wedding (let’s call him B, he also has a 3rd brother A) and his aunt suggested that my partner and his brother A chip in for their flights (we’re talking Europe to Australia prices). I said I’m not happy that brother B wasn’t asked to chip in as it’s his wedding they’re coming for and it’s not like we won’t be giving a present at his wedding anyway. We have a few other bigger expenses like holiday arrangements we’ve committed to with friends and we have 2 mortgages to pay. He took that in, however came to me today he gave them $400 cash and $400 Amex points to fund the tickets partially. I was quite offended as I told him I wasn’t very pro the idea of giving them money if brother B doesn’t chip in either (which he hasn’t), and again the birthday present situation hurts me further, as he’s not spending near as much on my present which is also now super late and kind of feels forced. I don’t know if I’m being dramatic and my feelings are unnecessary. Let me know what you’d do in this situation! <3
