Won some money recently only about 500 but decided to treat myself two new bags cost 50 pounds for both. Decided to buy my boyfriend some new aftershave he has about 50 different ones has all of a certain brand to. I gave it to him when I came home and his first words where you don't by people perfume or aftershave. I've been brought loads of perfume in the past every one at work got a perfume set for Christmas obviously made sure it was there regular one they like. I told him he was being ungrateful walked off and just cried he then shouted why the fuck you crying over it. I've had a shitty day feeling emotional

Ungrateful shit! Take it back and buy yourself something else

Gizlotsmum · 23/06/2017 18:47

He's an ungreatful twat... hope he apologises soon

At least you know not to bother treating him again.
Enjoy your bags and the rest of your cash!!
He sounds like a right charmer. .

Lose the boyfriend.

YANBU. You were kind enough to spend your money to get him something nice. I know DH would be delighted if I bought him aftershave. Take it back and get yourself something instead.

JamPasty · 23/06/2017 18:49

Does he have any good points?!

TheWeeBabySeamus1 · 23/06/2017 18:50

Wow! I agree take it back and get some perfume for yourself instead. And then use your exotic new fragrance to lure in a better man, cos this one sounds like an arse.

Moanyoldcow · 23/06/2017 18:50

Is this standard behaviour? He sound a treat Hmm

StillDrivingMeBonkers · 23/06/2017 18:53

He's incredibly ride and ungrateful - but, it's something that my mother drummed into me - there are certain things you never buy anyone, perfume/aftershave is on that list. It is poor social etiquette to eg give your hostess perfume as a gift, but I would have thought partners at ok.

Busybee233 · 23/06/2017 18:56

It's not standered behaviour and I did think about not getting him it but I figured that as he has the whole collection over 12 of one brand as as this was a new one of the collection and smelt like the others I really liked on the first test it smelt like him

Surely you're not going to be cooking dinner for that charmless nurk?

Busybee233 · 23/06/2017 19:01

I don't want to but then I don't want to be childish

Fragrance is a popular gift item between partners - you're not his dinner-party guest or work colleague - he's being completely ridiculous and very ungrateful.

disneykid · 23/06/2017 19:08

He sounds like a twat. What attracted you to this delight?

littlebird7 · 23/06/2017 19:09

Talk but about p* on your parade.

I am not sure he would be my bf anymore after being so rude and horrible. Why are you with him? He doesn't seem to have any respect for you.

littlebird7 · 23/06/2017 19:11

Be childish, be very childish Busybee. He should be cooking dinner for you, along with a celebratory bottle of wine after your win. At the very least you need a heartfelt apology.

MikeUniformMike · 23/06/2017 19:13

Take it back for a refund.
Dump the boyfriend. Ungrateful shit.

WarwickAlice · 23/06/2017 19:14

^^ what Mike said. You can do better Smile

Whocansay · 23/06/2017 19:14

Don't cook him dinner. Do go back to the shops, return the aftershave and buy some lovely perfume for you instead.

He is an arsehole. And a nasty one at that.

Shoxfordian · 23/06/2017 19:14

He's so ungrateful. Take yourself out somewhere or take a friend too for dinner somewhere lovely with the rest of it

Why did you buy him aftershave if he already has 50 bottles?

happypoobum · 23/06/2017 19:15

I'd dump his sorry arse - what a prince among men Sad

PopGoesTheWeaz · 23/06/2017 19:23
