My sister started complaining about her phone many months ago. It started from the screen. It cracked. Then to the charging unit. It wasn’t charging until you positioned the phone sideways with the charging cable facing northeast before it starts to charge. You breathe on it and it stops charging until you get a perfect northeast position for the charger. The earpiece started acting up too. You have to repeat yourself eleven times before one word goes through.
I promised her a new phone but I didn’t have the money so I kept promising and failing her. I had a good deal on an iPhone 13 so I bought it and gave the iPhone 11 I was using to my sister.
Case solved, right?
No.
My wife doesn’t understand why I’ll give an iPhone to my sister when she’s using a Samsung phone. My wife’s phone is in pristine condition. I bought it for her less than a year ago. She should be the last person to complain about a phone but in her mind, she’s more deserved of my phone than my sister.
“Why would you give a phone like this away when I’m here? Do you eat your sister? Is she carrying your babies? At least, suggest it to me first. If I tell you I don’t want it then you give it to her,” she ranted.
Because of this simple deed, anytime I ask her to do something for me she’ll tell me, “Why don’t you call your sister since she’s the one going to inherit all your properties when you die.”

We’ve been fighting over this for weeks now. I feel like the only way to let this case rest is to collect the phone from my sister and give it to my wife. I won’t do that. Not even if the sea goes to Kumasi. It’s already happened so I’ll let this slide but the question I’m asking is, am I wrong to have given the phone to my sister without offering it to my wife first?
Because of this simple act, my wife thinks I will will everything I have to my family and leave her and my kids dry when the time comes. It’s not easy ooo.

You did the right thing. She will get tired and things will go back to normal.
Please, is there any reason why she expects you to die before her? But on the real issue, you have done nothing wrong. You can offer her the iPhone as a swap with her Samsung for your sister. If she accepts, fine. If not, it’s greed.

Sometimes in marriages wisdom and tact is important which you didn’t use both. You should have broached the idea to her and ask her to give her phone to your sister while you give her the iPhone. The fact that you gave your sister your phone without speaking to your first told her you prioritized your family over your own. That is the real issue. The only way to restore peace is buy your wife a phone similar to yours at this point
I do not think the young man did anything wrong by giving his old phone to sister. the woman would have done same if her relative had such an issue. moreover, she was given a new phone just a year ago. This is greed and it is not right.
