The comment, “He’s using the money to feed you and the children, which means you’re not providing enough for the family, you need to do better sir,” shifts blame onto the husband and subtly gaslights him, sidestepping the wife’s deceptive behavior. By implying that he’s at fault for her actions, the commenter overlooks the ethical concern of using family photos for false fundraising. Instead, it unfairly suggests that the husband’s efforts are inadequate, putting the responsibility for her actions on him.
This kind of response can create guilt and self-doubt, especially when someone is already dealing with a sensitive issue. Minimizing the wife’s deception and framing it as a reflection of the husband’s supposed shortcomings undermines the importance of honesty and trust in a marriage.
