Margot is grappling with her fiancé Aaron’s extravagant desires, leading to a public showdown over a $350 watch, putting their future in jeopardy.
Aaron lost his job, and Margot, who earns more, has been supporting them both. Despite his unemployment, Aaron’s taste for luxury remains. He loves high-end gadgets and designer items, and Margot has tried to satisfy his desires within reason.
During a recent mall visit, Aaron saw a $350 watch and insisted Margot buy it for him. Margot reminded him, “Babe, I’m here for my dad’s gift. I don’t have that kind of cash on me right now.” Aaron escalated, shouting, “How can you love your dad more than me?” and causing a scene. Margot, humiliated, walked out.
Reflecting on Aaron’s behavior, Margot sees a pattern of emotional and financial manipulation. Aaron later apologized, promising to repay her and claiming he didn’t mean to embarrass her. However, Margot now questions their relationship’s sustainability, as she feels his material desires overshadow respect and financial responsibility.
