A 29-year-old woman says her husband has not spoken to her for a week after she accidentally selected a $5 donation at checkout on their joint-account card while buying fall sweaters.
She says the argument shifted from the $5 to broader criticism of her spending. They had not spoken for a week at the time she posted. The couple earns $120,000 to $150,000 a year and carries no debt, according to her account.
The outlet notes it could not verify the husband’s side. Commenters largely called his reaction controlling.
On her account, the punishment does not fit the purchase: a $5 donation became a week of silence, and the fight underneath it was never about the $5.
