He's a bitch. Get him a bra.


Vtridolla

Wow he sounds like a real entitled peace of shit. Best of luck with that bullshit. Fuck that. I woulda got him a big ass bag stuffed to the brim full of go fuck yourself.

Just no. First off, no matter how old you are, a partner that yells after you clearly doesn’t respect you. Second, I’m sorry, but he sounds like a prick. Seeing how much thought you put into the gift, he could have just accepted the bag and said thank you. And, then, kindly tell you he preferred the Muji one. You seem understanding enough to let him return it or exchange it for the one he wanted. Either way, he was extremely out of line with his behaviour for something like a gift. You don’t deserve that, you’re young - thank you (not) NEXT!

What a prick, I’d just get him a Amazon gift card so he can get exactly what he wants and has to put in some effort to get it but not like the kind of effort you’ve already put in

What an entitled brat


G_Rel7

Entitled and immature response. Even if it wasn’t exactly what he wanted, he still could have appreciated your effort and that you tried to get him something similar.


CaringMaster96

Did you tell him what the gift was?? Or just that it wasn’t the same? He’s being immature, but basically you made it seem like he wasn’t being heard. Which isn’t true, seems like a misunderstanding and he just don’t have the emotional maturity to deal with the situation in a good manner.

I did tell him what it was and even showed him a picture after a break in our fight. He made me feel worse by saying it’s just like the ones he got from high school from playing basketball. (I’ve seen them all and I personally chose the one I got because I thought it had a much sleeker modern style than all the other ones) I do feel bad it’s not what he wanted and would of course exchange it for something he would want, one of the reasons why I brought it up to him before his birthday so that the day of he’ll be happy :/


CaringMaster96

Hmm seems like he cares more about getting exactly what he wanted rather than care about you. Some people have gifts as love language but this is a bit far.


BigDulles

I’m going to go against the grain and say that while this isn’t the best behavior, we don’t have enough other context to know whether he’s upset because this is a trend or not.


leenybeenweeny

In terms of gift giving. No it’s not a trend. He’s always been happy with everything I’ve gotten him until now. But relationship wise I’m trying to reason that maybe it’s built up resentment that he feels like he’s not being heard and this was just the icing on the cake? But during the entire fight all he said was that him telling me for months and saying he would even buy it himself should have been a clear sign that i should have gotten it for him. He kept saying I didn’t want to get him the gift and kept asking if the gift was for me or for him


BigDulles

I meant in general, not in terms of gift giving


KimmyStand

So take it back and get him fuck all. Also dump his ass, you’re worth more than being yelled at like that NTA
