I don't know if this guy is a "self-centered dumbass" - it sucks being poor. Sometimes when you're dating someone they won't accept it if you don't buy them anything, or if you get them a really cheap present. One year, I dated this guy (I'm a ****), we agreed not to get each other presents. I later found out from a friend, a couple days before Christmas, that he'd bought me something. I was so poor that when I was out with him, I couldn't afford the gas to go out on my own. I hid from him and walked off and pawned some of my DVDs to get him something that he said he wanted, a certain kind of calendar. I bought it in front of him and told him in a half-embarrassed way, trying to make it sound like a joke "Not to look." He seemed okay then. Once we got back out in the car, however, he had a temper tantrum, saying he "didn't want a shitty cheap calendar" and that he "couldn't believe I bought it in front of him" and "I can't believe how thoughtless you were" and even "Well, of course we were going to get each other presents, I can't believe you didn't plan for it." He yelled at me and played the silent treatment until Christmas Day, like some kind of spoiled rich brat. I wish I'd broken up with him then rather than take any more of his crazy womanish crap. Summary: Don't date materialistic and irrational people if you're poor.

******* asshole

what the **** is wrong with you? asshole don't deserve her anyway

just say moneys tight and give her yourself;)

than you didn't(don't) deserve her. I bought the girl I've been with for about 2 months a $100 necklace

maybe I should try that

okay, this is your girlfriend we are talking about her! You are dating her for a reason right? That means you must care atleast just a little bit. Either that, or you care about getting lucky. Either way? You should do something nice for her, like take her on a little romantic picnic or something.. Really cheap && easy. That way you show her that you do care about her, and it's something that cost NO MONEY! Gosh, talk about a cheap lazy bum!

wow! that's messed up!!!

instead of breaking up with her (you douche bag) maybe give her something from the heart

You're such a ******* douchebag
