Here's a thing. My husband bought a $25 ticket and won grand prize in a club. $13K.

From it he wants to buy 3 bottles of Jim Beam worth $800 each. He wants to keep 2: 1 to drink at home and the other, reserve. The third one he wants to give back to the club. Is giving back to the club necessary? Like he won that ok, but the club didn't do anything but to randomly pick a ticket and he was lucky his got picked. I was saying he doesn't have to do it. All he has to do is enjoy his winnings or another good thing is maybe donate if he wants to. How about you? What do you think?

Sorry but I don't understand his thinking tbh, that's kind of weird, there's absolutely no need to give a thank you gift for winning a prize, maybe he likes to "show off"

@SW-User exactly. He's known to want to show off.

@GunFinger ugh, that's hard😕

@SW-User very hard. He always seeks acknowledgement because he didn't have that when he was a child. His parents were always working.

@GunFinger I have a similar problem with my husband, he's always seeking validation from his mother that he basically cannot stand... It's a very difficult situation to be caught up with, she needs to be cut off, he knows it, but he will not, he seems to need to be validated by her for some reason

@SW-User oh they're the same! I surely know we moved here from Sydney where it was so good so he could be closer to his mum.
