Today, for our 2-year anniversary, I bought my girlfriend a beautiful $400 necklace. She bought me a pink $5 shirt of Elton John riding a piano through space. FML

Quit bitching, if I had found a bangin' shirt like that, I would have kept it for myself and given the boyfriend nothing.

Your girlfriend is ******* awesome. xDD

Yeah, that shirt sounds pretty awesome. Next gift-giving thing that's coming up, you should discuss what price range to shoot for beforehand. It helps cut down on this kind of thing.

your girlfriend sucks! wow same thing kinda happend to me but it was a birthday comparison and i spent a lot on my bf and he did the same for me on a bracelet, like a week later it broke and i asked him to fix it well we broke up and he never gave it back so he ends up with a bunch of stuff i gave him and i end up with the memory of a bracelet i had for a week. also the break up wasn't my idea. :( just make her feel like crap for her lame gift.

Damn the price tag if the necklace looked like crap would you buy it? no. Price doesn't measure the greatness of a gift! Plus that shirt ******* rocks

In her defense, was she aware that you were planning to spend that much money? It's not likely that you said anything about it. Furthermore, if you think you need to buy her an expensive gift to prove you love her, and that her inexpensive gift means she's not as into you as you are into her, then maybe you should consider why you feel so insecure in the relationship. In the future, when buying someone a present, do it without the expectation that they will get you one in return. The point of buying a present is to do something unselfish.

sounds like me and my boyfriend... except he finds things laying around his room to give me.

Your gift to expensive hers is to cheap if she knew what your gift was i bet she would get something better

YDI for 1) buying too expensive stuff 2) hoping to get too expensive stuff. Come on, 400 dollar for a ******* necklace for just a two-year anniversary? Too much money, hmm? But hey, that's not of my business, (rich) people may buy expensive stuff, not a single problem with that. But only expecting to get something expensive? I mean, yes, you will be disappointed, but you make it seem like the only reason that you're disappointed is because you now feel you wasted the money. And that's so wrong. You don't buy love and you don't want that people buy your love.
