Giving benefits others, as we all know. By volunteering for organizations, giving to charities, and lending your time and support to friends and family, you may make a significant impact on this planet.

But then again, a person gains from giving as well. Giving is beneficial to your health, both physically and mentally, as demonstrated by scientific research.

Whether we provide cash, our time, our support, or some guidance, we feel good about ourselves because we have done the right thing. Our participation has changed things and benefited someone in some way.

Giving can also improve our physical health by lowering blood pressure and improving sleep. Additionally, giving has been associated with a decreased risk of heart disease and may potentially lengthen your life, but what happens when you give out something that isn't yours?

OP's wife has a bad habit of giving away or lending out things that don’t belong to her. The OP has lost count of how many times he goes to look for something of his, only for her to say she lent it to somebody.

On top of that, it takes her forever to get the item back. She has had countless talks with her, but she continues to do this.

The OP and his son have resorted to locking up anything we didn’t want touched, which is something they shouldn’t have to do in their own home. Read the entire story below to learn what transpired between them.

OP writes

OP has had countless talks with his wife, but she continues to do this

Since the OP didn’t actually buy the tent, he didn’t loose any money

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I may be the AH for making my wife pay for something I did not buy.

The Reddit went viral with thousands of comments and here are a bunch of the most upvoted ones

She'll give away something of hers as well and replace it

She clearly isn't getting it any other way

It's easy for them to reason on her behalf

This is sort of a worrying thing

This sounds like a personality disorder to this Redditor

This Redditor would certainly demand the money back for it

This Redditor would start to give away her things randomly

The OP should set up an appointment with a therapist as this is problematic

All of us want to see the world become a better place and giving goes a long way. The advantages to our mental health are more evident as helping others makes us happier and boosts our self-esteem but don't give out someone else's item without letting them know first.

The OP even revealed that his wife gives out her item and then buys news one. At the end of it all, the OP was declared not the AH and that's a wrap!
