Wife Upset With Husband For Using Her Bonus On A New Game System

A woman has turned to the internet to ask if she is in the wrong for being upset with her husband for using her bonus on himself. The couple has been married for four years and the husband has yet to find his passion in life. Meanwhile, the wife has been working full time and recently received a small bonus as well as a pay raise. When she told her husband about the bonus, he seemed more excited than she was and proceeded to use the money to buy new gaming equipment for himself. When the wife expressed her hurt and disappointment, he called her selfish and accused her of not being supportive. Now, she is left wondering if she overreacted and is feeling the brunt of criticism from her husband’s friends and family. Read on to find out if she is the a**hole in this situation.
