My wife (39F) and I (41M) are both big sports fans. We both love hockey. Admittedly my wife’s team is better than mine and thinking with my head rather than heart, I believe her team will go deeper in the playoffs than mine. She will of course be super pumped about her team’s success and I will be pissed because I want my team to win and will likely be out early.

So I needed a solution. So I bet $250 on her team to win, which in turn will motivate me to be happy for the success of her team. She got mad at me when she found out I did this.

I’m never going to root for any team but my own, but thought this would unite us (all be it for different reasons).

AITA?
