Today, my wife threw a piece of tofu cake at my head for suggesting that the money she'd spent on magic "healing" crystals and homeopathic "remedies" would've just as well been spent on a chocolate teapot. FML

a chocolate teapot would at least be money well spent, it sounds delicious

doesn't matter or not if it works, you're still not respecting her beliefs. And if it's her money (not both), she can do whatever she wants with it

I'm glad someone brought this up. Regardless or whether or not it's all mumbo-jumbo and the wife is or is not crazy, OP isn't supporting her beliefs at all. She has the right to believe whatever she wants, and as her spouse, he should be allowing her the room to do just that. If it happens to be an issue of finances being tight, perhaps it could have been approached a little more delicately?

well i think you two are both right and wrong, the husband could support her ideas, because she believes in it and keep lying to himself, or state his opinion on the matter which he did, maybe he did it in a blunt fashion

OP is doing her a favor by saying something. Soon she'll burn through her savings buying useless crap.

Sure, perhaps he should have been a little more tactful in his approach, but I think throwing something (even if it is "just cake") at someone because they "insulted your beliefs" is crossing a line. Next time she could be holding something more dangerous. Where do you draw the line?

If you believe that your life depends upon you having that next bottle of scotch or placing that next bet, your partner should not be supporting your beliefs! There is a difference between something nutty but essentially harmless, like most religions or belief that wizards really live amongst us, and believing something that could cause them genuine harm. If the OP's wife takes a homeopathic remedy in place of her malaria meds (as some homeopaths have advocated) he could be letting her die. Is that the action of a loving spouse? In general, I agree with you, but a certain degree of judgment is appropriate.

OP, your wife sounds like a moron, ergo she probably doesn't have a job, ergo "her" money is probably money that you earned. I hope she's cute, at least.

Congrats, OP, you married an absolute ******* moron who is easily led into crackpot ideas which she will defend to the death but can't see plain old common sense. I hope no Jehovah's Witnesses show up on your doorstep or she will be converted on the spot.

Don't comment about something you have no idea about. I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but I've learned about and respect all religions. They're no different than any other Christian except for the fact that they ACTUALLY follow what the bible says.

actually they are completly different and do not refer to themselves as Christians at all. They do not celebrate xmas, they believe the bible tells them to tell everyone about Jehovah (hence the house call thing) and do not believe in blood transfusions,smoking or anything else that would "defile" the gift that is your body. No i am not one but I had a long discussion with a large group that were staying where i work.

Maybe it's a religious thing for her? I know people who buy that stuff because it's spiritual to them. If that's the case, YDI. If it's because she's a wannabe new-ager then FYL.

The real issue with this FML is that your cake is made out of tofu.
