Answer:

A problem that Jim is afraid to confide in Della

Step-by-step explanation:

He reacts that way because the gift he got her can no longer be used (cause she cut her hair) and he can't use her gift either (cause he sold his watch)

This question refers to O Henry's short story "The Gift of the Magi."

Delia's action shows that she loves her new husband Jim enough that she is willing to sacrifice something she values in order to get him a Christmas gift. She has an unselfish, loving character.
