To think this is a bit cheeky?

[kcchiefette]

Boyfriend got a new phone delivered today. As part of the bundle he got a free smart watch (he didnt pay anything for this).

Ive never indicated I wanted one, and even if I did, I have more important things to pay for - MOT, my childs birthday gift (all 3 of us are going away for the night) etc.

Anyhow, he tells me he is going to sell the watch, but before he does, do I want to buy it from him for £150?!

Obviously I don't have interest in it so I declined, but why would you sell your girlfriend a FREE watch in the first place? 😂

Baring in mind I am paying for us all to go away overnight (it is my child not his). He did offer to pay half but I declined and said no, because thats what partners do, right?! 😂

AIBU to think its a little bit cheeky?

I don't think he should have said anything at all and just sold it on ebay, or if he had a better idea, keep it for my birthday in a couple of months?! 😂

Yep, proper cheeky!!

Do you live together OP? Share expenses?

I find it odd that he asked if you wanted to buy the watch but I also find it odd that you insisted on paying for the weekend away when he offered to pay half of it.

I'm not furious or anything. I actually almost laughed when asked.

Not into tech in the slightest, dont wear any form of jewellery etc. Never mentioned wanting one. And knows I dont have much expendable income this month 😂

God, I dont know if he really is just clueless.

No we live completely separate and dont share expenses.

We usually take it in turns paying for date nights, and split nights away etc.

I paid for night away with child as child requested it for birthday, so I did think it was my responsibility to foot the bill. It didnt feel right taking money when child wanted to invite him along.

He did say he would buy the dinner though.

Personally I would have offered you the watch non gratas, scoring £150.00 off your Gf for something you got for free.... Is super stingy.

He wants to make a profit from
Selling a free item to his girlfriend?

I wouldn't be laughing.

I would be showing his tight arse the door.

No idea why he would ask me when I wouldn't want it anyhow

Even if I got it for free, I would wear it for like a day then forget it 😂

Do you still find him attractive after he tried to make money from you?

It’s a really bad sign OP.

WOW, what a keeper. 🙄 Reminds me of a man I used to know who sold a pack of CDRs to his girlfriend of 5 years (had lived together renting for 2 years,) for a pound less than he paid. Couldn't just give them to her, he took money off her.

Also, a couple who I know (55-ish) never married, no kids, together 20 years, and he earns twice as much as her. Whenever he gets anything for the house - shopping etc, even if it's a box of bin liners for £3, he will message her and say 'you owe me £1.50.' and she send the money to his bank account.

Fucking. Batshit.

Sorry @kcchiefette but I could not stay in a relationship with this man.

You keep putting laughing emojis like it's all fun and games.

Do you realise this is a huge sign that he doesn't actually love or care about you much? You've introduced your child to a man that would happily make a profit from you.
A man that will take his partner's money for himself is not a good man.

You need to have a serious think about your standards.

Is he a student OP?

Because a childless man who earns as much or more than his single mum girlfriend should not be selling her things or nit insisting on paying his own pay for a hotel break.

No, he earns more than me.
