When birthday gifts turn sour 😔🎁
Birthdays are supposed to be a time of celebration and joy, but what happens when your thoughtful gifts are met with accusations of manipulation? That's what happened to one Redditor who bought her boyfriend a video game and a t-shirt for his 21st birthday. Instead of being grateful, he accused her of being manipulative and materialistic, and even went as far as to say that he wasn't sure if he could deal with having a girlfriend who valued gifts. The poster is left confused and hurt, wondering if she did something wrong. In this post, we'll explore the dynamics of gift-giving in relationships and the potential reasons behind her boyfriend's negative reaction. Join us in the comments to share your thoughts and reactions to this story.
Dump him! He is manipulating you and guilting you. You deserve better. 💔
