Dumped on Boxing Day

[Annelind]

I do not like yellow gold. I never wear yellow gold jewellery. The guy I've been seeing for 6 months dumped me by Whatsapp a few minutes ago because I told him I would return to him the yellow gold jewellery he bought me for Christmas, so he could give it to someone who would appreciate it, (bought duty free at a foreign airport so no exchange possible maybe) because It's not something I would ever wear. Because I DON'T LIKE AND NEVER WEAR YELLOW GOLD!

He replied maybe the next one would , and could I post it back to him.

He's thrown me away over my not liking something that cost less than 40 quid FFS!

He is in his 50s btw, and solvent enough to afford £40 without feeling it. Nice to know my worth!

Shocked, but laughing. Thought I'd share!

I think he made the right decision. You are very rude.

Sorry, but I think you should have politely thanked him and just not worn it.

This must be a joke?

Christ he's had a lucky escape! How rude are you?!

You were ungrateful. I don't blame him.

You sound like a spoilt brat, he made the right decision!

Nothing strange as folk.

Why be that rude about an xmas present !!!!

Perhaps he’s on MN

Yup. I'm with him.

Maybe it was the last straw?

It’s early doors, you should have just thanked him and never wore it.

'I do not like yellow gold.'

I do not like yellow snow

You both sound like hard work, to be honest.

If after only 6mo of dating - whoever I was dating weren’t gracious enough to not reject my first ever xmas present (however wrong it might have been) - i’d walk away too.
Not in a huff, possibly not via WhA message. But still.

Wow! In the words of MN “Did you mean to be so rude?!”
I don’t blame him for dumping you, you sound horrible!

Wow. I'm not surprised he dumped you. How rude!!

Sounds like he made the right decision.

It wasn't meant to be.. I have a feeling it wasn't the only reason it is over

Was he aware you don't like yellow gold. If not, YABU and ungrateful.

If he knew and bought it for you anyway, that's different.

I had a feeling this wouldn't end well

Saw her posting on the 'worst Christmas gifts' threads

I don't like bath salts, I don't like fluffy slippers much, would I be so rude as to tell the giver, not at all, as they were given with love from someone I like very much , I may regift at some point to someone or may indeed crack them open . I never 'return' gifts unless it's clothes and they don't fit!! Whatever happened to, 'it's the thought that counts'

Goady

Fucker

Wise guy.
You sound very rude and unpleasant.

I once sent a friend some expensive bath oil, I think it was from Jo Malone, and she text to say that she 'prefers showers' and would regift. I never sent her anything again and, if she'd been a gf, I'd have dumped her for being an ill-mannered ungrateful sort of person with no social graces, so I'm with your bf on this too.

You were so rude and ungrateful. Good for him.

I'll take all your criticisms, but I feel that the gift was a generic 'woman present' with no thought to my personal taste. Had it been silver, I would have loved the thought. He is fond of gold, I am not - I felt he was trying to turn me into someone I'm not. The jewellery had crystals, and was 'showy'. Not my taste at all. Had I felt obliged to wear it, I would have felt uncomfortable and not 'me' IYSWIM.
The gift will be returned by post as requested.
