I’ve been with my boyfriend for about a year now, and he’s a really nice and sweet person. He always makes sure to give me his all, and genuinely cares about my happiness.
Today I get home from work and automatically I notice a huge shipping box opened by the front door, I am intrigued but since it’s empty, I just keep walking towards the living room.
Then I see him, on the couch, in a full master chief suit.
I’m like “babe is that you?”
He’s like “oh hey babe, how was work?”
And I’m like, “good… what’s up with the master chief suit.”
He’s like, “you like it? I got it online and it was simply to awesome to pass up.”
And I ask, “it’s really nice, how much was it?”
He says, “four thousand.”
And i said , “oh that’s funny, how much was it really?”
And he says, “no really, it was four thousand.”
So at this point I’m livid, I start yelling and asking him how he afforded it, and the whole ordeal was very heated. I find out he put it on a credit card, and I just get so pissed that I leave.
We barely make ends meet now, so it boggles me how he doesn’t even have a job yet decides that 4K on a master chief costume is fine.
What do I do at this point?

You leave him.
He is too incompetent when it comes to money and dealing with the real world.

Run. This dude will be go bankrupt before he figures out how money works. This is not hyperbole: I mean the literal, legal definition of bankruptcy.
I am 40 and I saw it with my peer group.

He spent $4,000 on a cosplay outfit…that literally achieved nothing. The only place or time he can wear it is at conventions and Halloween.
The guy could be Jeff bezos’ bastard he still wasted $4,000 he put on a (likely) 20% interedt rate credit card.

If you sell him dressed in the suit that’s $4001 in your pocket!

Important: You are not able to wear the suit by yourself without any help from at least one assistant.
Who did he get to help him put on the suit then?

Shit, that actually looks pretty cool lol. On the other hand, it’s pretty funny imagining master chief just chilling on a sofs, lol.

First of all, I just wanna appreciate all of the comments on the original post, I didn’t expect it to blow up like it did. And thanks for the silver!
So after the post, I decided to confront my BF about the suit and hopefully talk some sense into him.
After a long heated argument, he decided he had enough and stormed out and left my house.
In the argument he defended his action, saying that it was his money to spend and that he doesn’t give me shit when I go out and buy a Louis Vuitton. Anyways, so he wouldn’t budge at all.
He left the house and after several hours of no contact, I was curious where he’d be staying the night as he lives in my house. I go on Life360 expecting to see him at his mothers or friends, but he’s at a house I don’t recognize.
I text him and ask him where’s he’s at, and he responds saying it’s none of my business.
Alright, what the fuck ever.
Next day I wake up to another text, this message being from his phone but not him, the message read
“You’re a selfish bitch, who can’t even respect bf’s wishes to look like his and my favorite video game character, he’s a sexy man both inside the suit and out. So don’t bother texting bf again.”
So yeah… I guess he’d been cheating on me? I don’t even care at this point, just ready to move on.
I left his shit on my porch and told him he has 48 hours to come get it. Then I canceled his phone line which I pay for on my Verizon account.
Definitely not how I expected this to go.

I really want to know, if the argument and the leaving afterwards all happenend while he was in the master chief suit. Just a dude arguing with his girl, storming outside, jumping into his warthog to teabag another girl. This has some straight up arby n the chief vibes.

I love this idea, he’s sulking on some dudes couch still in the armour “yeah this will show her what a catch I am that someone else thinks I’m hot wearing this AND out of it, she’ll come running back to me…”
• next day
“Well shit… at least I have this kick ass costume and my phone… oh shit…”
