Wife who supported man with pocket money after job loss, moved to tears with valentine surprise

In a world of grand gestures and luxury gifts flooding social media feeds, one simple Valentine’s Day surprise has captured the internet’s heart. A woman shared how her husband, who recently lost his job, moved her to tears with a small but thoughtful gift, proving that love often shines brightest in tough times.

Posting on Reddit, the woman revealed that the past four months have been financially challenging after her husband lost his job. With limited savings, she has been supporting the household through her work-from-home copywriting job. Each month, she gives him some pocket money for fuel and occasional outings while he continues his job search.

She noted that there was a time when he supported her similarly. Despite the setback, her husband chose not to tell even his parents about his unemployment. He spends carefully and contributes modestly when out with friends, maintaining his dignity. She said her support ensures he never feels embarrassed something she admired seeing in her own mother while supporting her father.
