Today, I gave my wife a birthday present. For months she'd been talking about an expensive treadmill that she wanted, so I bought it. Her reaction when she saw it was to yell, "YOU THINK I'M FAT!" and burst into tears. FML

To be honest...I think it was awesome he got it for her...but I think he should have bought it another time and said "I got it so I can lose weight" then tell her she can use it when ever she'd like to since she spoke about wanting it. Then he could have gotten her the treadmill but indirectly gave it to her. With out hurting her feelings. Yes? No?
