I know it’s so childish but this is real
My (24M) girlfriend (23F) has been obsessed with Sabrina Carpenter lately. When the Fortnite skin dropped, she immediately asked me to buy it for her since I already had some V-bucks on my account.
Thing is, I was saving those V-bucks for the next battle pass. I told her she could just buy it herself (it’s literally $12) but she got super upset saying I “never do nice things” for her.
For context, I just bought her concert tickets last month AND I don’t even play Fortnite anymore – I just keep the account for her to use.
She’s now giving me the silent treatment over a virtual outfit.
AITA here? Like, am I missing something or is this a ridiculous thing to fight about?

ESH. you’re both immature.
Why didn’t you pay the $12 then? Kids.
I mean if it’s literally 12 dollars it does seem like a nice though to do, but yeah also it’s literally 12 dollars age can get it herself it sounds like you already do nice things for her. I’m gonna agree with the other comment, this is pretty immature.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but spending money on video games outside of the original game price is childish to me and I will never understand it but that’s just me
Just buy the skin, dude. Unless your budget is razor thin, this is a small cost and not worth an argument.
boring music, boring repetitive game, new hobbies all around. take up deep sea welding together
NTA, but if you don’t play the game anymore why are you saving for the battle pass? Seems like the universe is nudging you to hang it up big dawg.
Some people have it good to even be worried about this
NTA. This is ridiculous and manipulative. Silent treatment and gaslighting you for not buying her something is straight up toxic behavior. She can buy it herself.
The bigger problem here is two adults who can’t come up with $12
78 big ones nah not the asshole
ESH. Why are you saving for the next battlepass if you don’t play the game anymore?
Why doesn’t she pay the $12… some people have war in their countries
Sheesh… y’all are 23/24… act like it!
30 years from now, as you’re sipping on lemonade and reflecting on your life together. Won’t it be hilarious that this was a legitimate argument you had once upon a time?
…
real talk, holy shit. If she wants the skin so bad, she can cough up the $12 to buy it. Holy shit, what a child.
So you don’t use the account and just have it for her to use but you’re saving the vbucks for the next battle pass even though you’re not going to play? Did I get that right?
NTA. What the hell is wrong with u, people? He don’t want to spend money on something that he don’t even need. Go ahead and buy the skin from the capricious girl, then, u insanes!!!
Let’s just start and say “she’s a fucking adult, she can buy it if it’s that important”.
>I don’t even play Fortnite anymore – I just keep the account for her to use.
If that’s the case, why’s it such a big deal for her to use those V-bucks?
NTA its not very expensive so it could be a nice thing to do for your GF however you don’t have to. It’s your account and your vbucks and you get to choose. It’s also a little weird how mad your GF is getting over a fortnite skin.
This is a silly fight over $12 honestly. It is cheaper than going out for coffee.
You are both being petty over nothing.
ESH
NTA – she wants it so bad, then she can buy it. Her saying you don’t do nice things is just manipulative. Tell her to grow up.
…You two are in your 20s?
Neither of you are the AH you are both just VERY immature. Question though, if you don’t play, why were you saving your v bucks for the battle pass?
ESH. This is middle school shit.
Big red flags. No you arent. If you said you would and didnt, then yes, but that isnt the case here. She sounds like a problem. Give her the silent treatment back and dont even try to talk to her and go on about your business, they HATE that lol.
How old are you children? Your life focus is in the wrong place. Reevaluate the relationship before it is too late to recover.
Looks like you better buy it! Surprise her and it will get you a lot of points to do as you wish in the future! Your game can wait! Not the end of the world!
NTA. Demanding a gift is ALWAYS a red flag, unless it’s expected for a special occasion (anniversaries, birthdays, etc.).
