A California man alleges that for every day that his fiancée yelled at him over the past year, he removed $1 from her Valentine's Day present money, reducing her $360 gift to just $40 - sparking a raging discussion among commenters. While Isaac felt the strategy was smart, other comments were less enthusiastic, with some suggesting that their relationship is filled with red flags' and that they should certainly break up.
Man Who Saved $360 For Fiancee's Valentine's Day Gift Deducted $1 Every Day She Yelled At Him
But he decided to deduct a dollar for every time she yelled at him, which amounted to 320 times in just 364 days.
'Last year I put $360 away for my fiancée’s Valentine's Day gift, but I took away $1 every day she yelled at me,' he wrote in the video, as he showed off an envelope labeled 'Valentine's Day 2022'
The clip then cuts to him withdrawing some of the money and placing it in a new envelope with the words 'Treat yourself king' written on it.
'Now her gift limit is $40 and I saved myself $320,' he continued.
'Now all she’s getting is flowers and chocolates,' Isaac captioned it.
Isaac's goal seemed to be to make Carolina 'earn' her gift through good behavior or to penalize her for bad behavior.
While some TikTok users thought the video was smart, others were offended, claiming it hinted at a toxic relationship.
Carolina has been criticized by some for supposedly yelling at Isaac so many times in the last year and encouraging him to quit.
'It's time to find a new girl if she's yelling at you 320 days of the year dawg,' wrote one viewer.
'Save $360 instead of by breaking up,' agreed on another.
Someone else said: 'Yelling at someone 320 days of the year ain't normal.'
'If she yelled at you 320 days in a year, I don't think she's the one. But that's just me,' read the fourth comment.
Others criticized Isaac, accusing him of giving Carolina a reason to yell in the first place and stating that he probably deserved it.
Some men don't deserve women. I hope she finds someone that gives her more than doing petty things to take away from the relationship,' wrote one.
Another added: 'Like you don't give her reasons to yell?'
'Why'd you do something worth yelling?' asked a different TikTok user.
'Y'all concerned about him taking away HIS money from a Valentine's Day gift? She still has $40 you can do so much with $40,' someone else, who was on Isaac's side, fired back.
Some people proposed other options, such as giving her money if she did something kind for him.
Others claimed that if Carolina was yelling so much and Isaac was punishing her by withholding planned presents, their relationship was toxic.
'I'm no expert, but is this a healthy way to behave in a relationship?' asked one.
'All I'm getting is red flags from both of you,' wrote another, while a third wrote: 'I love being in a healthy and communicating relationship.'
'Sounds like a great relationship,' read another snarky comment, to which he answered, 'It is.'
'Why are you still together?' someone else asked him in the comment section, to which he replied, 'Toxic couples are stronger than regular couples.'
