AITA to ask my wife to act like we live in a First world. - Aussie Zone

I married a beautiful woman who was here on work visa. This is my 3rd marriage and I genuinely felt a connection when we first met. Fast forward now, she reuses all the containers to store stuff in pantry. Like she will use the empty yogurt jar to store raisins. I asked her to not use empty jars instead buy fresh new jars from the store but she said why waste money and on top of the reusing stuff will reduce waste and help environment. When she said that I lost my shit and yelled that you live in a first world and not in some shitty third world. We have bins here to recyle so put the damn thing in the recyle bin and buy jars from the store. She started crying and there’s that. AITA here ? My friends come to my house often and ridicule me for reusing jars and for second hand stuff she bought. I really want to make this marriage work. Please help me. Edit: Only comment if you’re a US citizen .

YTA. Your wife is trying to do something to help save money and the environment and explained that to you. And your response was to yell at her? YTA all day long. Go apologize. And just from other details like this being your THIRD marriage, you may want to look into counseling. Not marriage counseling, just you counseling.
Holy shit. No kidding. YTA not only to you wife, but to everyone else, for thinking reusing containers is beneath you, while the world is literally burning.

while the world is literally burning.

That’s not true.

looks at Canada

Oh.

Pretty sure Greece was recently on fire. Or was it Spain? Or both? Australia has been on fire how many times now? My state, CA regularly burns, as do most, if not all of the rest of the southwest states. Mexico is currently in a severe drought, and I believe was on fire not too long ago.
I live in a wealthy area. We saw one kid throw out Tupperware daily. He was the richest kid in the class. We thought that was insane.
Yeah……I also grew up in an exceptionally wealthy area. I have so, so many stories. That would be like the tip of the iceberg at the highschool I went to.
