Am I being totally unreasonable

Hello everyone. Just wanted some advice please. My partner and I have been together for five years. Anyway my partner has always been fussy with what he likes. So I always ask him what he wants for birthdays or Xmas. Anyway when we were out shopping, he saw perfume he wanted. He already had a small sample bottle so he knew what it smelt like and worn it. I spent over seventy pounds on this bottle. He now told me he doesn’t like the smell after opening it And either I can take it away or he’ll bin it. I’m very upset at this suggestion. I dont earn much but I bought it for him as i thought it was what he wanted and now I feel it’s a slap in my face and I feel hurt by him. I’ve told him he can sell it on eBay and get some money back And give me the rest back. It’s not like the gift was a surprise. He was there when I bought it And he says he wanted it. He says he’ll use it as toilet cleaner. I owe him money from eating out over Xmas. I told him I’d pay him back. He says he would add interest with what I owed him. Was about £73 . I think he’s a horrid person despite loving him😣 am I unreasonable ?

There is no way you are unreasonable. Get rid of this pathetic man and move on with your life without him, he's not adding anything of value.

LTB. He wants to charge you interest? Shock

NoParticularPattern · 02/01/2020 07:02

LTB. He sounds like a controlling, abusive dickhead. What exactly do you see in him?

Why are you with this nasty bastard ? .
Take the scent , sell it and pay him back then get him out of your life.

AlwaysCheddar · 02/01/2020 07:20

Dump him

CormoranStrike · 02/01/2020 07:21

I have never before posted LTB but never have I seen a more clear cut case.

Just cos you love him does not mean you should stay with him or that he is good for you.

Sparkletastic · 02/01/2020 07:23

Sounds like he holds you in contempt and is trying to either break your spirit or provoke you into ending the relationship. Either way you are better off eradicating this bastard from your life.

Winterfellismyhome · 02/01/2020 07:23

Pay back what you owe (without interest) and tell him to shove the perfume up his arse. He sounds like an absolute prick

HulksPurplePanties · 02/01/2020 07:25

Why are you with this douchebag?

GiveHerHellFromUs · 02/01/2020 07:30

What a nasty bastard.

Why does he think he gets to charge interest on anything?

He didn't like the present he asked for so if he wants to throw it away that's on him. If he wants to sell it he doesn't need to give you anything back as it's his property.

IHateBlueLights · 02/01/2020 07:32

He's a prick, OP.

You can do better.

ByeMF · 02/01/2020 07:40

Do you want to be treated like this for the rest of your life? Run for the hills. Take the scent and sell it on eBay. Tell him to stuff the money you owe him. What an awful man.

Tink1990 · 02/01/2020 07:49

Wow, he does not sound like a nice man. Pay what you owe and then LTB!!! Don't waste any more time on this 'man'

WellErrr · 02/01/2020 07:53

Wow. This is not the man you choose to be your partner. Get rid!

Monstermummymum · 02/01/2020 08:23

He wants to charge interest and knew you were buying the scent then changed his mind. You deserve better. Seriously consider leaving him- he obviously doesn't respect you. My DH bought me the wrong scent (same brand, wrong bottle). I hate it but I still wear it occasionally so as not to hurt his feelings!

Dump this nasty skinflint. But only after spraying the scent he hates so much all over his belongings.

gordan · 02/01/2020 18:16

Thanks everyone for your input.im just feeling so tearful and angry.

You don't deserve to be treated like this. Flowers it was kind of you to spend so much money on the present he asked for and he's been horrible in response.
