Bit of a 'Love Actually' situation...

[momoa80]

So do and I swapped presents tonight, unknowing to him I found his receipt last week (couldn't stop myself reading) it was a jewellery shop receipt that had 3 items on...earrings, necklace set with earrings and a gift bag. He gave me my gifts tonight and there was the necklace set in the gift bag...one item missing.

How should I play this ladies?

*Dp and I

Could the earrings be an additional present he’ll give you tomorrow!?

This happened to me, I'm afraid, and it was very bad news.

Gift for his mum or sister? On offer so put other thibg away for valentines? Someone else asked him to pick something up for them ie bro or friend who then paid him back?

If nothing forthcoming tomorrow then you have your answer. Why are men so bloody dim?!

Could the earrings be for his mother/sister?

It could be innocent. If I see things at a good price, I'll buy them and stash them away so he may be saving the other item for V.Day or your birthday.

If it were me I would have dropped one part of the set or something.

innocent gift for his PA or a female relative?

The mother idea i thought that but why would he not say? Im thinking I'll leave it till boxing day...then spill what I know.

I'm 18 weeks pregnant too. Seems suss to me. Only other thing I can think is it a present off his son to his sons mum but again why the sneakiness? I'm very chilled and open minded.

actually f it was for an OW wouldn't he have bought her a gift bag too? Makes me think he might be putting the present away for another time

@squee123 i dont know. Just seems strange. Maybe i am being paranoid.

Putting the present away for another time ? Really ? Do men actually plan ahead like that ?

Never met one that does.

Ive never known any man to buy early put stuff away haha...it was definitely put on his credit card.

...also I did all the Christmas shopping for both families. The only person he had to buy for was me.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's sneakiness though. Why would he think to tell you if he had bought the other present for his Mum/sister?

It's just a bit odd. Why the need to hide? I don't know, Maybe I am being paranoid.

Sorry, x post.

There may be an innocent explanation. But you will most likely have to ask him to either put your mind at rest or you might end up hearing what you don't want to.

Your gut is telling you something x

Maybe it’s a present for when the baby is born?

I agree thstvifbutvwas forban OW he’d have bought another gift bag.

Time will tell...I'll let you all know. X

Push present ?

Could he be planning to give them to you when baby is born? Or, as has been said, a present he'll give you tomorrow.

Men do sometimes plan ahead. My dh bought my engagement ring about 3 months before he proposed.

X post with Guilty because the baby is asleep on my typing hand so I'm going slowly

cost wise, were they of similar value?
