Worst present ever


Question Posted Friday October 23 2009, 10:01 pm

18/f i got the worst present ever off my bf of 6 months. I actually am so embarrassed by it and my parents thought it was completely wierd. It is a real boyish type thing aswell, its something he likes and i have no interest in at all.

He was so excited to give it to me and i pretended i liked it but i really hate it and i cant even look at it without feeling embarrassed and disgusted. Im pretty sure he wants me to display it but i havent and im not going to. I am so embarrassed. What should i do? just pretend i still like it or tell him and hurt his feelings?

please help.

what is it? the way you described it, it sounded like it was honestly something he thought would make a good present. tell him, but don't do the dramatics. just slip in, that its not you're kinda present, and you would have preferred somthing more to you're taste. then tell him, that it still means a lot that he got you somthing and you still think he's great. don't hurt his ego, but don't take it silently either.

hey there,
ok this is a tough situation for anyone to be in but it happens to nearly all of us sooner or later.
its very noble and considerate of you to spare your bfs feelings by pretending to like this but you need to think of your feelings and how it hurt you.

If I were you I would tell him in the nicest way possible don't display the item and if he asks why then you start to explain to him that while your sure he had good intentions and everything but you dont paticularly like the present try not to sound selfish or ungreatful let him know you aprciate him and his efforts but you feel this present would be more suited for him and not you and you really have no use for it.,or interest.

im sure he will understand and most definately should apriciate your honestly with him,itd hurt more to find out yould been lying about it,but its totally up to you thats how I would approach it anyway good luck and I hope things work out!
