Frustrated by his girlfriend's unhappiness over an “insufficient” hongbao from his parents, a Malaysian man took to Reddit to seek the opinions of others on the matter. His Singaporean girlfriend was allegedly unhappy when she received a S$10 hongbao from her...
The man went on to share his opinion on hongbaos, saying that they are meant as a gesture, and that the amount does not really matter.
He added that he had tried to defend his parents, who are retired and therefore gave an amount that they were comfortable with.At one point, she asked him how much he would give in an hongbao to his parents, to which he said $30 . She then used his answer to further her point: “why not $10? Because you think it’s not appropriate right?”The post attracted a flurry of comments, with most calling out the girlfriend’s actions.
One Redditor pointed out that the greater impropriety is the girlfriend’s willingness to “sour the relationship” and stir trouble between the man and his parents over a hongbao. Others simply cut to the chase; one simply warned the man not to “upgrade” his girlfriend to become his wife.
