I work with a woman who doesn’t stop gushing about her husband. It is CONSTANT! They have been married a decade. If its not going on and on at work, shes putting it all over facebook.
He doesn’t sound that great to me, is controlling with money to the point she cannot buy anything as all her money is already spent straight away on their breaks and holidays. He works away all the time and she doesn’t have a pound so always sponging off me and colleagues. She came from an abusive ex marriage. She said she didn’t want to get married again but this guy proposed in front of her whole family. He’s done loads of things that I find suspect.
However I just can’t get over the constant gushing about him at work and online. Shes like “OH I love him sooo much” constantly. There was an instance recently where she wanted to buy an item which was a couple of hundred pounds. I said to her to just buy it with her wages but she has been told by him that he will think and maybe treat or surprise her with it. I said sod that just buy it out of your wages why does it have to be a grand gesture? She literally has no money from her earnings so I don’t think he is “treating” her. I just don’t think its normal! Aibu? Or am I being a miserable cow? I am married btw if relevant.
