He might have thought you'd like that gift (being serious). Or maybe he doesn't want to spend money.
I think a lot of men just don't know a lot about jewelry. And thats fine lol. He probably thought it looked nice and that would mean you like it.
Isn't that the point of jewelry? That it looks nice? And not how expensive it is.
Obviously some 15$ piece for birthday is stretching it (if he isn't a student anymore), but the general gist is nonetheless that it's a present
@FakeName123 Well its just obvious when it's cheap. What looks good to one person, it may not look good to another.
Well, not everyone has a good sense of aesthetic looks (that includes quite a few women as well).
Point is that the point about jewelry is that it looks good first and foremost. If it then costs 50 bucks or 5000 really shouldn't matter.
Obviously if it's a 2 days late 15$ present - thats a whole different story, because that implies some other things in the relationship going wrong.
Be glad he thought of you to do anything at all. It’s the thought that counts, not the monetary value or the occasion. It sounds like you’re expecting something just for being there.
I agree but it seems like some ladies disagree
Maybe because he doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a gift. Money doesn't equal love.
I mean isn't it the thought that counts, what if he couldn't afford something extravagant?
Finally someone with understand thoughts !!!
Yeah he could afford more than $15 and i don't think their was any thought in the gift.
Probably not, but who knows?
Talk it out with him and see what he says. I mean you've been in a relationship with the guy for 3 years and if you can't be honest about how you feel and have direct conversation, that'd be a problem
If i was 17 I would probably be happy too but I'm grown. 15 dollars is an insult.
How does it insult you? Is he obligated to spend ton of money on your present?
17 or in my 30s if it's a nice gesture it's a nice gesture, I wouldn't care about the price
not sure how to exactly answer but even if it was cheap just appreciate that he got you something. did he pay for your bday meal?
personally, i'd just appreciate he got you something.
it would have been better to have gotten nothing lmfao. what an insulting gift. at their age.
Well girl it suggests that your boyfriend is out of money. Find a new one if you want costly gift.
Lmfao
It's The Thought That Counts, Be Grateful👍
How do you know it was $15?
Because i just bought my daughter jewelry for her birthday last month. It was 15 at walmart in the little girls section in the case. It even says girls on the tag and yes he said he bought it at walmart
Hmmm maybe he forgot about the anniversary and panicked.
Girls all seem like gold diggers
maybe a late bday gift
its the thought that counts
Ewww! Disgusting gold digger!
It could just be a test.
I think the price is not important
yeah
Cause he's skint
I'd be a little insulted
