i gave my boyfriend a simple & sorta silly Christmas list. it had this nice perfume, a hair product, cotton candy & crackers on it. his dads side of the family asked him what i got him & he told them a video game. then they asked what he got me & he said cotton candy & freaking crackers… they said i’m a good woman since i like simple things which is cool but they never met me & most girls like perfume & stuff, like why say you got me something that’s 8$ & so cheap. of course they’ll say something nice but probably think it’s a little odd. it’s so embarrassing to me and him because what man would get that only that for their girl. he got me crackers & perfume & stuff. that’s so embarrassing and was so dumb to say. were 20 not a little kids LOL

Ah man that is kinda weird and embarrassing he told them that! Like come on bro, who says they got their girl just crackers and cotton candy? We're too old for that haha.
I can see why you'd be mortified. His family probably thinks you're some simpleton now who's easy to please. Really dropped the ball telling them that embarrassing ass gift list. Good thing he at least got you other nicer stuff too!
I'd give him a hard time about it but also let him know not to underestimate our families like that. They don't gotta know every little silly detail. Next time just say he got you a new perfume or something, keep it classy lol.
Hope they don't bug you too much about being "such a great girlfriend for cotton candy." Ugh I'd die if my girl's folks thought that was all I gave her. Gotta play it cooler with the parents, feel me? Don't worry, we'll get em next gift-giving occasion with something fly. His fam will forget this rookie mistake soon enough!
Exactly ugh but i’ll calm down he’s not a bad boyfriend.
Yeah, don't sweat it too much. We all say dumb stuff sometimes when we're put on the spot. Cut the guy a break, he seems like he means well even if his gift-talking skills need some work! At least he was trying to rep you good to the fam and didn't embarrass you on purpose.
These little goof ups are all part of being in a relationship. As long as you guys have each other's backs most of the time, who cares what a silly comment or two. Just give him a light ribbing about it so he knows for next time, but don't hold a grudge. You seem like you really care about each other.
Besides, it's almost a new year! Time to forget the small stuff and look forward to making more good memories together. Keep supporting each other and having each other's backs - that's what really matters in the long run. He'll remember this lesson too, I'm sure of it!
I don't get it. You gave him a list of gifts you wanted, he followed it, and you're embarrassed for some reason?
read my details again then if you go to get it lol, i can't help you any less or more.
So why did he tell his family that he got you the stuff on the list?
