Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML

Wow that is super harsh (but at least she's being honest), but still, FYL...

Time for a new girlfriend What a self entitled bitch

She sounds like an ungrateful bitch. I have never disliked something my boyfriend gave me even if it was something i never even considered asking for.

For every future Christmas that you are still together, for her a $25 Amazon gift card. And for yourself, something outlandishly expensive.

Why is everyone calling her a bitch? I mean sure it could have been handle a little better, but wouldn't you rather someone tell you the truth on if they liked a gift or not?

#19 And then go on to say he should give her money to buy her own presents? Rude.

I agree 100% that is was very rude. But I don't think it excuses people calling her selfish, entitled, a bitch, or saying that he should breakup with her or that she is emasculating him. This is a case where they probably haven't been together for all that long, he may not know what she would have really liked but still tried hard to get a good gift and just missed out. Also maybe she prefers getting money. I have pretty inconsistent likes and stuff so I actually like to get money or gift cards because it's easier.

Ungrateful bit*h in future I just wouldn't bother. With gifts it's the thought that counts. This year my boyfriend bought me nothing and dumped me two weeks before Xmas. Ho ho ho!!!

What could you have gotten her that prompted that reaction from her?

if she's that ungrateful, get her nothing and see if her attitude changes then

In the future she can buy her own presents herself... and spend the holidays alone too if she can't be appreciative

Since it is your first Christmas together, I'm going out on a limb and say you having been together that long. So she should be grateful you picked a thoughtful gift and not just something cheap.
