Gifts and Divorce: A Troubling Trend
A woman and her husband, advised by their therapist to express appreciation, started exchanging gifts. Initially positive, the trend took a worrisome turn when the husband’s gifts seemed more self-serving. Despite early thoughtful gestures, like jewelry, he later gave practical gifts benefiting himself, like a backscratcher for extended back rubs.
Unhappy with this trend, the wife confronted him, leading to a heated argument and her realization of an unsatisfactory future. Faced with his anger and unwillingness to address the issue, she decided on divorce. Seeking support online, she received overwhelming backing for her decision, with many noting the husband’s selfishness. The woman, emotionally affected, moved out to stay with her sister, indicating her firm resolve to end the marriage.
