To think it's strange to send your wife a romantic present every day?

[DJTanner]

An acquaintance has had presents ordered online and sent to her by her husband every day during lockdown. He is isolating at home with her and their kids so it's not as though he's away and sending her presents because of that.

Literally every day she puts a post on Facebook saying 'today's present', and it's been all kinds of things ranging from a huge box of new clothes from an online retailer, to Louboutins, to flip flops, to underwear. Every. Single. Day.

AIBU to think this is strange, and wasteful, behaviour?

It's not strange and if it's things she'll use it's not wasteful either. It is distasteful of her to share it on Facebook everyday though.

She's a complete show off and bragger about everything and anything, but that's another story.....

No. I think if they enjoy it and can afford it, it's their choice. I think it's sweet.

Are you sure she isn’t buying them herself?

Of course it's strange and wasteful. Who needs that much stuff??? Consumerism gone mad.

Well I think it's strange too OP.

I think the idea was sort of sweet - but after a while it would lose its specialness and you’d be like “oh another delivery”

If anyone wants me to try it for a week though I’m up for the challenge

Where does she put all that stuff?
As a teacher, I get a few presents here and there and I often receive them with the immediate thought of where will I put this item.

Creepy and planet-rapey. Not to mention putting Amazon warehouse staff at needless risk. Yuck.

I'd find it a bit odd if DH that for me, and I definitely wouldn't be putting in on social media.

It’s definitely not normal but I’d love it if DH did that for me!

It’s like he’s love bombing her.

I bet he's wishing lockdown was coming to an end soon.

Lovely!

Each to their own but sharing on Facebook is vulgar IMO.

What’s the going rate for lords a-leaping?

If they can afford it and its what he wants to do for her then that's up to them. Personally I'd rather have the money and going shopping when all this is over and can actually wear a nice outfit somewhere other than Tesco.
Putting it all over FB is absolute cringe though. Probably going to be people on her friends list who have suffered financially because of all this and she's showing off a pair of shoes that'd could cover some peoples mortgage payment/ rent. I'd have to unfollow her.

Definitely weird, it's extreme! And to post it on Facebook is.... oh yeah, its typical Facebook!

I think it’s sweet. If it’s not your cup of tea that’s fine.

Getting blow jobs in the garden during the night

Laurie, what? Lol

Funnily enough @LaurieFairyCake he is known locally for being a serial womaniser/cheater even though his wife is in denial and makes out they have the perfect life.

I think it's kind of sweet.

Maybe he's trying to stimulate the economy and his wife at the same time

It's weird putting it on FB, though. Stopped looking at FB for this very reason...daily political diatribes, daily pictures of meals, daily pictures of pets in different outfits. And this was before the pandemic!

If he's a known serial cheat she's basically using FB and the gifts to show everyone "he loves her really" then?
