- A woman shared a viral post about her unemployed husband's Valentine’s gift during tough times
- She works as a copywriter while supporting her husband financially with pocket money monthly
- The husband gave her a penguin plushie and chocolate, which moved her to tears
Marriage is a sacred institution where both partners vow to stand beside each other in good and bad times. This enduring bond was recently highlighted in a viral Reddit post, where a woman shared how she was brought to tears by her husband after he surprised her with a small gift, despite being unemployed for a few months.
"The last 4 months have been really hard for both of us. He lost his job, and we spent all our savings (we didn't really save much). I am currently working as a copywriter (WFH), and my husband is looking for a job. I give him pocket money every month for his expenses," the woman wrote, detailing that the pocket money was for fuel expenses and sometimes eating out with friends.
"He doesn't spend much, instead he contributes (around 200-300) whenever they (he and his friends) order food. Knowing that I stand by him, I would never let his guard down in front of his friends."
The woman then posted a picture of her early Valentine's gifts, a penguin plushie and a chocolate bar, given to her by her partner.
"Today, seeing this little penguin brought me to tears. He thought about me even in such a situation. There was a time when we were doing foreign trips, but knowing about the love and bond between us, I know this tough time will pass."
