Am I being ungrateful or reasonable?
I'm a woman (22) and my husband is (31). We've been married for almost 6 months now. My phone has been broken for about 2 months now. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I use the laptop occasionally.
I asked him when he could get a new one and what the budget would be. But he reacted irritated and said it wasn't the right time for a new phone. I left it at that and didn't ask again. It's been almost 2 months since then. In the meantime, my phone doesn't work at all anymore, so I urgently need a new one.
3 weeks ago he said he wants to buy a laptop because he needs it for work. He's currently sharing a laptop with his younger sister who is studying. She doesn't need it anymore since she has exams and the school year is ending. I told my husband he should buy it after the summer instead, since the laptop is just at our home and his sister doesn't need it. He doesn't use the laptop every day or even every week either.
What I find so upsetting is that he can't buy a new phone for me, but he was ready to get a new laptop for himself, while he knows very well that I need a phone. Yesterday we had an argument about this and I haven't spoken to him since. This morning he put a new phone on the table. I saw the phone but haven't touched it yet because I'm still too angry. But I could see it was an older model. I had an iPhone 12 Pro Max, which is already a bit old, and he got me an iPhone XR, and it doesn't even look new.
This makes me feel sad. Am I not worth more than that? I do everything for him, from cooking to massaging his feet, and this is what I get in return. Am I ungrateful, or does anyone understand my point?
