I first met her last year prior to being engaged, the Redditor toldBored Panda.
We have spent a lot of very personal time together.
I am Hispanic and Christian, and she is a Muslim woman from Bangladesh.
She was the youngest of 10 siblings who all got married and had kids before she turned 18.
In Bangladesh, she was a princess.
She had a private security team of older brothers who attended to her every need.
However, things suddenly changed.
My fiance and I moved in per her request to help support her financially.
So far, Jester_Mellow hasnt updated her post, and she doesnt really plan to.
I chose to walk away from my original post because simply, its sad.
Christmas is also very religious for me.
And I prayed to God about it a lot and put it in His hands at this point.
He and his collaborators have published numerous studies on the effects of giving.
Afterward, the participants reported how happy they felt.
But spending that $5 on somebody else is more likely to increase your happiness.
If you buy one for yourself, its just another thing you own.
