Breaking up with someone over this sounds really shallow.
I don't know enough about books to know whether or not they could be considered a "romantic" gift, but I do wonder how long you two have been dating... because if this is something that pisses you off enough that you're so ready and willing to break up, then I imagine you two haven't been together for that long.
Maybe you SHOULD break up then.
It would certainly do you some good...
Just as it would do him some good, as he would probably be dodging a bullet.
I've given books to women, and they've appreciated it. It depends on teh book... in each case I did some research about what kind of book she might enjoy.
Sounds like he thought you would enjoy the book. The fact that you don't, and are having such a negative reaction, means that your boyfriend doesn't understand you. Before breaking up with him, maybe you should just have a talk and explain why you don't like the book.
Sorry but I don’t agree with breaking up with someone over a materialistic reason like giving a book on v day. I think you need to be honest and say you appreciate the gift but it wasn’t what you expected for v day. You saying that he deserves loneliness for an inexpensive gift says a lot about your personality, have you ever thought it’s the thought that counts? You obviously don’t like him if you can say something bitchy like this to a bunch of strangers. He doesn’t deserve you or your criticism.
That is a horrible reason to break up, and it shows immaturity on your part.
Just tell him that you appreciate it but you want him to put in more effort in giving romantic gifts.

u Perhaps he did it intentionally to get you to break up with him because he has an idea that you are a shameless gold digger.
Yes break up with him and be honest, tell him all about not romantic, ordinary, inexpensive gift.
Don't waste your and his time, you find rich guy who can buy anything you want and you can show off your expensive gifts to the world. Let this nice man find genuinely kind hearted woman who actually appreciate his well behaviour and let them be the happiest couple. Just be direct if you want only expensive things, there are lot of guys who are looking for this kind of relationship.
He gifted you a book probably because you need some IQ
What is the value of a gift to you? Is it the price which he spent? Is it something which you can flex to your friends? Is it something which you can sell and obtain money?
Do you even know why he gifted you a book? Sure it's not romantic but if someone who knows that it's valentine where you can probably get away with a box of chocolates/sweets, he gifted you a book. There should be a reason for that.
Wow! Another Gold digger. "Give me preseants or GTFO!" Even think that it is the thought that counts. Don't tell me. The book was "How to be a loving partner in a relationship" by Seymour Butts.
He deserves better. You did a good thing going anon here so people don’t know which selfish, inconsiderate princess wrote this bullshit.
I hope someday you realize what you lost. And I hope you learn from it.
Break up as soon as possible. It will be good for him too to know your true colours and it will be good for you too to get rid of an unromantic person. It is for the best.
yeah. you should break up with him, he'd be a lot better off with someone more grateful and caring.
Plot twist: the girlfriend has a really tough time reading books due to a rare eye condition
Depending on the book, I would fucking love that gift.
Do you know what a bad gift is? A cheap dusting pan and 6 cheap glasses wrapped in plastic.
Leaving him because he bought you a book would be the right decision because you will be doing him a favor.
He deserves someone better than You. If you can break up with him over a book you don’t deserve him anyways.
I'm offended.
But good that he'll never have to deal with you anymore. I insist you tell him that you broke up because he gave you a book.
I'd appreciate it. Some books are really expensive. Some of the books in my wishlist are almost 100 euros.
👎🏻
I have been given books on V-day. They know me and know I love reading. It’s one of the most thoughtful gifts.
If you have a problem with the gift why don’t you just talk to him about it?
I understand that it’s not a romantic gift but it seems like a silly reason to break it off completely
I'd dump him with the explanation that you're materialistic and shallow. That should make him feel fantastic. At least you're being honest with him. While you're at it, give him the book back too.
If the book has a meaning behind it, it's a good gift. If a person like to read books, it's a good gift. If a person doesn't appreciate books like you, you are doing him a favour. Unless he planned this from the start.
Dang girlll 😂
Maybe he thought you would like it? 😂
It is not that serious. 😂
Do you like to read? Maybe he thought that’s one of your hobbies?
This sounds like the luckiest guy in the world! You should do it immediately and tell him that exact reason. What was the title of the book?
