A woman’s Christmas party went badly when her fiancé gave her a stupid gift, even though she had worked hard to find him the perfect present. She felt hurt, embarrassed, and confused about their relationship after what happened.
Since she was a hairstylist, she had been saving money for months to give her fiancé, a paediatrician, a PlayStation 5. He had been wanting one for a while. At the same time, he had recently grown his private practice and was giving his family lots of expensive gifts, like a remodelled flat and a Mercedes-Benz that was specially made for them.
It was Christmas, and the woman couldn’t wait to give her fiancé his gift. But what she got in return shocked her. He thought a bag of toothpicks was a funny gift, and he even told his family it was the real thing, which made her look bad.
The woman was crushed by the joke and thought it was rude. The joke was made fun of by her fiancé’s younger sister, she told him. The woman left the party to spend the rest of Christmas with her mother after a heated fight over what happened.
He tried to make things right the next day by giving her what he said was her real gift. He told her he was sorry for the joke, but she was still mad. She asked him how old his sister was and what he was doing by letting the joke happen.
The woman went on Reddit to tell her story and get comments. The reaction was huge, with most people supporting her and criticising her fiancé and his family for being careless. Many people told her to think again about getting married because her fiancé and his family didn’t treat her with respect or compassion.
