GIRLS; WOULD YOU BE UPSET/ANNOYED AT THIS GIFT FROM YOUR BOYFRIEND?
ByI'm 22, and I'm a kind of artsy/edgy person. I similar to gothic jewelery/ black clothing/ comics, video games… lets only contend I'm not a girly girl, or a mature one for which matter.
My beloved loves video games, It kinda defines him really. That's only his thing.
I know he didn't wish garments for Yuletide since I listened him discuss it his mom so. I longed for to get him something which we both would enjoy. We love to fool around games together and we both love Final Fantasy, so I got him the older rarer games which we both have not nonetheless played, (Final Fantasy Origins, Final Fantasy Chronicles, Final Fantasy Anthology, and 3 ps2 games)… so I got him 9 good titles which have been REALLY tough to find!
He got me a necklace… a sparkly immature and silver, off-hand necklace… Yea, it was good of him to give it to me, but I do not know since he would think which I would wish it…I NEVER wear or even OWN anything similar to it… on tip of that, he gave me a necklace final year… which I never wear, and which was it, only similar to this year…
on tip of that, he didn't even go out and buy it… his mom gave it to him to give to me… (I know this since the necklace is genuine china and genuine immature peridot and he does not have the kind of income to buy something similar to that, and it looked similar to something she would wear).
Yes, I know it's value a lot, and which alternative lady would love something similar to this… But I do not similar to Jewelery, I never wear it, solely if it's unequivocally Renaissance or Gothic looking, means that's how I am and he knows it… Another reason since I am dissapoint is since his mom comes from a unequivocally abounding credentials and she is all about looking high category and she is regularly perplexing to get me to skirt improved and to skirt similar to I'm rich… She is regularly charity me her garments to wear and is regularly revelation me which I need to get in to character and to skirt better….
All those reason's is since I do not similar to the necklace…
am I being to harsh?
sorry this is so long.
thanks!

its a nice gesture- maybe you two don't enough in common to be together. Video games will only get you so far.

Calm down. He's a GUY. They really don't notice details like that.
Just appreciate the thought.
And if it bothers you so much, tell him it isn't your style.

This is the problem with women. It's the thought that counts, if you don't like it, your smile big and say thank you and wear it a couple times. It's just a necklace, it won't kill you.

no. youre not being harsh. everyone loves to receive gifts. the gift from you partner should be something you enjoy, like and want to use…alot. you should ask him where he got it from so you can get a different color one or something in a different color. the one he gave you doesnt really match any of the outfits you have. (wink) this way youre not offending him. if he says he cant then just let it go and maybe for the next occasion you could give him a head's up in what you like.

I would be annoyed too. Doesn't seem like he put any effort into finding a gift that fits your style and personality. He even made his mom pick it out! Seriously, wth? Yeah, its the thought that counts, but honestly, does it seem like he really even thought about it? No. Anyone can just find any random thing to give to their partner. It means so much more when they actually take the time to consider your likes and dislikes.
I bought my boyfriend an expensive pair of running shoes, which are supposed to be really good for your feet. He loves running and I noticed his current pair look rather old and worn out. So something like that is thoughtful in my opinion. What you did for him was thoughtful as well since you went out of your way to find something rare.
It wouldn't make me break up with a guy if he did something like that, but it would just bug the hell out of me. There's really nothing you can say to him without sounding ungrateful, though. Thats the bad part. If you tell him how you really feel about it, you'll seem like an uncaring/unappreciative girlfriend.
Maybe just ask if his mom picked it out because it seems like something she would wear. If he says yes, jokingly ask him why he couldnt find anything himself. Maybe you can ease into it and find your answer.
