Christmas present from partner

[Christmasjingle24]

I asked my partner for a rough budget this Christmas first Christmas together. He said we don’t need a budget I made a few suggestions of things I wanted or needed and so did he. I’ve brought quite a lot for him and today brought a few more bits. We where talking about Christmas and he said that I’ve definitely gone and got more than he has from the clues he’s given me he’s got me some jewellery something I’ve never asked for or hardly wear. the pieces I do have are all from my grandparents I don’t want to sound ungrateful but I know I probably won’t wear it. Also all my jewellery matches I’m not sure what do to do. I also hate surprises due to an ex and have made it clear how much I hate them I’m also terrible at hiding how I feel but I don’t want to offend him

@CrimsonCattery thank you for saying exactly how I felt

@GreenlandTheMovie I asked for pyjamas dressing gown slippers a candle any of those things would be been easily brought I don’t see that as big gifts

Please ask for a comma as well.

I don't think you're being grabby or spoilt OP, but I think some other posters are being vile for bullying someone who has previously been in an abusive relationship and still carries some baggege from that. Shame on them!

😬
Honestly, can you not just say thank you? All presents are some form of a surprise, unless you have chosen the exact colour dressing gown etc. He's not bought it for you for the same reason as your ex, it's Christmas- surely that is different?

If you hate surprises. Why didn’t you agree to not buy presents? Presents are meant to be a surprise. They aren’t meant to be things you’d buy yourself. Hence it’s a present.

Just say. Awe thanks.

Then if you don’t wear it. That’s no biggie.

I,for one,don't think you're acting spoiled or Princessy at all! The man insists on a list and buys you an expensive set of jewelry instead! I'm sorry you're getting piled on here. Just ask him to return it and get a refund then use it for what you do want.

Get a grip op.
