You take away my TV and there’s gonna be Hell to pay!
I’ve never had to actually say that to someone but I can imagine those words coming out of my mouth if my beloved television was going bye-bye.
And that brings us to today’s “Am I the A**hole?” story.
Read on to see what happened!
AITA for taking away my wife’s car keys because she took away my TV?
“I have always spilt my income 50-50 with my wife.
She is religious (Baptist) but I am not. This has never been a problem for us, until this summer when I got a large raise at my job and I started buying things that she claimed were ‘greedy’ and ‘consumerist.’ I just told her I’m using my share of the income and I can buy what I want.
I thought that it was over but last weekend I finally got a Ps5 and bought a 65″ 8K QLED TV, in total it was about 5 grand. I was really excited to watch the super bowl with my friends on it (I’m hosting a little party this year) but my wife was furious, she thought it was a terrible decision and she didn’t care I used my own money.
When I came home from work on Monday (today’s Thursday) my wife said she took away my TV, sure enough it was gone. I looked everywhere for it but we have a modest 3 bedroom house, so who knows where it is now. I have been arguing with her for 4 days and she’s not budging, so this morning I finally snapped.
I took away her car keys and also removed her tires. I told her I’ll do the grocery shopping and our kids will be fine since they ride the bus, but I am not giving her that car back until she gets me my TV.
She is obviously furious but the super bowl is in 3 days and I’ll be d**ned if I’m letting her control what makes me happy.
So, AITA?”
And here’s what Reddit users had to say about this.
