Then maybe he should have said that also she spent $300 on a cooler if he wanted to save up he should have asked for nothing on Valentine's "because we need to Save for Valentine's Day" he's being selfish

Plenty of things you can do without spending money. I baked my husband cookies the night before, he made heart-shaped pancakes the next morning and then we went for a walk in the park we were married in, and went skating after. So many things he could have done, but her post makes it sound like he didn't do anything.

How do you know he even asked for anything? That could be all her, it's not his fault she spent a ton on a gift he potentially didn't even ask for.

I like this.

this is perfect

I recently gave birth to our first child, two months ago. When I asked him what I was getting for my birthday in three days, my husband pointed at our daughter and replied, "you already got it."

On their first valentine's day together she's already pregnant? I hope not...

Well, if they met on the 16th of February last year, technically they've been together for a year. I've seen people get married quicker.

Quite early to bring a child into the world though. Surely you can't commit to a minimum of 18 years' worth of joint responsibility after dating for one year? At least I think that's quite irresponsible.

#5 I got married to attempted to have a child with my present wife, even when she was still my fiance. We just made it to our one year mark together. It is a personal decision. And part of that decision is me being military

#5 notice OP said boyfriend. Btw it only takes one night to make a baby.

I was responding to #4. I don't see the point you're trying to make?

Ah this is brilliant. Try this one OP!

Guess you have never heard of a Yeti

Yeti? That's the thing Reinhold Messner hallucinated on his way up the Himalaya without oxygen, right?

The...the cooler was for the baby

Clearly you don't get how hard conception really is for some people. Planned or not a child is the greatest "gift" anyone could ever get in life. In the same sense children are not for everyone and if you don't feel a child is everything to you then give the child up for adoption. Because in the eyes of a family that can't conceive adoption is the gift they've been hoping for.

#24 It may be a 'gift' for the couple, but it's not a gift from the man to the woman, as OP's boyfriend is implying.

I thought it was excessive, too. But I also specifically ask my husband for gifts that do not cost money.

If it's something they'll use then investing the 300 bucks is smart instead of getting cheaper models that break every month.
