A few days after my birthday, I told him I felt uncomfortable because the birthday scarf he gave me had his name on it, not mine.
He immediately got upset and said things like I am the receiver not the giver, I shouldn’t even have this birthday gift, he said even I didn’t like it I shouldn’t say anything. Then he said he would never buy any gifts for me again.
He explained that he had spent two or three months choosing the gift, and that only Burberry allows more characters for personalization. But I told him that personalizing it with his name made me feel uncomfortable.
I said I understood his effort, but having his own name on it makes me feel pressured, constantly reminded that it’s his item. I told him it makes me feel like it’s not really mine. He said that’s my problem, and that I should be happy to see the name of someone I love.
He also told me that he has given gifts like this to other people before and nobody ever complained, unlike me.
