Broke boy

By Noname - 02/03/2009 07:24 - United States

Today, I went to Tiffany's to exchange a bracelet my boyfriend had given me for our year anniversary. It was the first gift that he actually spent money on me for. The sales lady then told me that the bracelet was not a real Tiffany's item. FML

Why did you think it was from Tiffany's?

for starters, he might not have known it was a fake, and was there a reason you thought it was from tiffanies because if you just assumed thenthats kinda wrong to assume he'd spend that much money on you. Not that your not worth it but its only been a year.

it doesn't matter how much he spent, or whether it's real or not. it's the thought that counts. why would you return it anyway?

maybe you should dump him for not providing you with expensive jewelry. it may be a bad thing for him to lie and say its real, but many girls would not find it acceptable to have a knockoff brand. its unfortunate.

Was he broke all YEAR or just cheap? I assume that he did the sweet b/f thing and made you gifts, wrote poetry, or planned dates. If he never bought you anything before and it took him a whole year then why where you surprised when it was knock off? Did it not raise a flag with you that after 12 months with NO bought presents that he produces a TIFFANY bracelet? I would have suspected foul play, be glad it wasn't stolen! I think you must have shamed him into buying you a gift, and when he couldn't get the expensive stuff you wanted he lied to save face.

My first reaction wasn't "OMG HOW DARE U EXCHANGE IT." The only time I exchange presents is if they don't fit, so it's a case of getting the same thing in a version I can use rather than getting something brand-new. I could be entirely wrong, but I assumed it was the same case here. Which would mean she liked the present so much she wanted to be sure she could use it, rather than letting it sit in a drawer. And it's pretty weird that her boyfriend told her it was from Tiffany's (again, assumptions). I don't live in America, but I'm guessing a big brand will sell in shops other than its own. He might have thought that was what he was getting. Best case scenario. But... You do come across as a bit of a princess in this. You say that it's the first gift he's spent money on - not the first gift. If he's been making the others, then it's a lot sweeter than throwing money at you. If there're no gifts, it's maybe a little inconsiderate. If he did lie about the bracelet, then it's poor form on his part, but it also shows he thought you would care about the brand more than the gesture. How does that reflect on you?

Um guys, she definitely said "bracelet" both times. No where does it say necklace. Reading comprehension skills, do you have them? Anyway, I understand where you come from. Maybe the bracelet was too small/too big and she wanted to exchange the size?

we have them, you obviously don't or you would've noticed the comment of the moderator stating that he corrected that.

Why the hell would you exchange something that obviously was important like that?

Why are you trying to exchange a gift from him anyways? Unless it was something you already had, that is just cold. You should care more about how he treats you than how much money he spends on you. My boyfriend is broke all the time but still tries to buy me stuff even though I always tell him not to because I don't need material things from him. If having stuff from Tiffany's is so important to you than buy something yourself and quit relying on a man to give you everything.
