Two years ago, a couple made a seemingly innocent bet over a fridge. But what started as a playful wager has now escalated into a full-blown relationship crisis. A man and his then-girlfriend (now fiancée) disagreed on whether to buy a new fridge or a used one. The girlfriend wanted a brand new one, which she decided to finance. The boyfriend, confident she wouldn’t be able to pay it off within two years (thus avoiding interest), bet her $1400 that she couldn’t. If she lost, she’d owe him $700. Fast forward to the present, and the tables have dramatically turned…

The Bet That Turned Bitter: A Relationship on the Rocks
What started as a playful bet over a fridge has now morphed into a full-blown relationship crisis. The man, who had confidently bet his then-girlfriend $1400 that she couldn’t pay off her new fridge within two years, now finds himself in a financial bind. He’s lost his job and is making half of what he used to, while his fiancée has landed a well-paying teaching job. Now, she’s asking for her $1400, even offering him the same ‘no interest for 24 months’ deal she got on the fridge. His refusal to pay up has led to a heated conflict, with their relationship hanging in the balance. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this predicament…

“YTA. Pay your bet like she paid for the fridge.”

“YTA, and here’s why.” Bet turned belittlement, anger, and pettiness.
