I don't have an issue with the being unhappy with the gift.

She could tell I wasn't happy and asked me if I liked the gift. I told her I didnt and that I was having a pretty good birthday until she got me that gift.

^It's this shit that is pretty goddamn despicable to say to your SO. When you drop the bomb that you don't like a gift, you say the OPPOSITE of this. You say that it's okay, your day is still going great.

Troll thread?

That is some deplorable behavior. And the comment about her financial status is a really low blow.

You should apologize at the very least.
 
I'd rather be honest and say if I didn't like a gift my girlfriend had bought for me manily because I wouldn't want it to be a waste of her money, and she would probably be able to tell anyway and I'd rather be honest with her.

What I wouldn't do is tell her the way OP did. That's just rude and ungrateful, and really mean. I feel sorry for her.

That is some high quality trolling. Got me furious at someone I've never met on behalf of someone I've never met over a couple paragraphs. >->

Wow, OP you need to reflect. The fact that you care even slightly about how much money your SO has is.... gross, to put it liberally.

Sure, many people get shitty gifts from their kids, friends, family, and SO's. But we don't outright say we don't like it. That's so uncouth. Get with it.
 
There are people in this world that are extremely lonely. And here you sit like a lil bitch pissed off about an expensive scarf.

Yep, you suck on a couple levels.

Yesterday was my birthday. My girlfriend got me a cashmere scarf and gloves from Roots Canada....The scarf isnt my style and I have no use for Gloves (mittens specifically). Im feeling a type of way, I spent close to 500 getting her Boots and perfume.

She could tell I wasn't happy and asked me if I liked the gift. I told her I didnt and that I was having a pretty good birthday until she got me that gift.

She looked hurt, but tbh the gift was pretty shitty, it doesn't seem like she even put much thought into it.

Iunno she has some family issues that prevent her from having as much disposable income as I do but at the very least. And until now it didnt really bother me but honestly its preventing us from really doing anything worthwhile. It just sucks because I've never imagined having someone who loves me so unconditionally. Other than her money situation shes the perfect girlfriend.

Did I overreact? Its my birthday and I was just being honest.

I started highlighting everything in your post that makes you look like a dick and at some point the entire thing was bolded. Just because it's your birthday it doesn't mean you get a free pass to be a complete douche to people who are supposedly important to you. You already know her money situation but you hold this against her. Did you spend all that money on her because you love her or did you do it because you were expecting something of equal value in return down the line?

If my SO told me straight to my face that their day was *ruined* because of the gift I got them it would be over. I hope she dumps you - she can clearly do better.

OP, you're missing a key component of gift giving.

You can't give someone a gift and then expect them to put the same thought, effort, or money into the gift that they give you.

Gifts are about giving. Not reciprocity.

Didn't an ungrateful gaffer get banned for this kind of shit when he received a frog statue from his father?

Many seem so sure the poster is just a troll, but each of those threads just seems like a lost/broken/confused/dysfunctional/self-centered person, not an outright troll to me. Hard to tell with the lack of follow up posts.

You have a perfect in every way girlfriend other than the gift she bought you? That's incredibly shitty of you and you probably don't deserve her.


So it's fake most likely. Someone ban him.

I...don't think this is a real thread, right? I'm assuming it's some sort of troll job.

But to respond the title question as if it were real...one time I got the world's ugliest bracelet as a gift from my girlfriend. I still wear it to this day because even though I would have hated the thing under any other circumstance, I liked it because she got it for me. I don't really care what the gift is, I appreciate it because of the thought that comes with it.


Oooooh, that makes more sense now.

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.

It's the lack of followup that makes it seem like the dude just gets his rocks off by the initial reaction and then moves on.

Are you a Disney Channel Original Movie villain? Is this some kind of social experiment that I'm failing by calling you an asshole? Is there a hidden message in your OP that is secretly signaling an SOS of some kind?

If she's the perfect girlfriend as you say then you don't say:
I told her I didnt and that I was having a pretty good birthday until she got me that gift.
A perfect relationship is not worth losing over this, so I'm going to assume either the relationship isn't as perfect as you say, you're trolling or you're 14 years old.

Man, I don't understand grown adults that still think their birthday matters one fucking iota.

If this is real (which I really doubt, or at least hope isn't) then she needs to drop your ass now. I can't even fathom how people act this way. It makes no logical sense.

I gave my fiance a new purse she was always gawking over as well as wallet to go with it, she was thrilled when she unwrapped it.

Then I opened her present for me and it was a shitty fossil watch.. like what? It looked like something I'd give my uncle or something. I was upset that the effort wasn't there. I loves games and always mention what I'm hyped for so the cues were there.

She took me not liking it pretty well. Almost as if she kinda expected it.

To be fair, she's never been a good gift giver so I wasn't super surprised. Still got upset but I've learned to live with it. She has gotten better for sure.
 
I was on the other side, when I got my SO a gift she didn't like. She tried really hard to seem interested in it but I could tell and eventually she told me. It was a 2ds with Pokemon, as she expressed interest in Pokemon Go and talked about the original games to me. But she admitted that she didn't have the interest or the time in the handheld, so I said I'd make it right, took it back, and then came back with a gift she loved the next day with some ice cream cake from a good local bakery.

It's easy to make an effort, it's harder to practice it.

I bought my girl a N3DS with pokemon for her birthday and she got really pissed at me cause that wasn't what she wanted. It was pretty rude. There's a way to be nice about it, OP. You should have pretended to love it then just not worn it or returned it later.

Damn, are you me? I guess a DS is a shit GF gift. Who knew?
 
My uncle gave me a robot dog toy thing when I was fun and I told him it was terrible

It doesn't sound like you were ever fun.

This thread is depressing. No one owes you anything. If anyone makes any effort to get you anything you should show some amount of appreciation.

I would understand making a post about getting a bunk gift -- everyone has gotten bunk gifts from SO's and family members. In fact that would have been a fun thread: "What's the worst/least appropriate gift you've gotten?"

But this thread is bad, and you're either a troll or an absolute sociopath that will find no sympathy here.
 
I do a lot of my posting at work. So I cant do follow ups as quickly as I would like. I guess I was being a bit of an ass but she was hyping up her present for about a month now. I just expected better.
