Deciding what gifts to get your significant other can be stressful, but if you’re lucky enough, your partner might appreciate whatever you get them because it’s the thought that counts. This week, Reddit user PurpleTurtle2626 took to Reddit to share what she had brought her boyfriend for his birthday, and his reaction left the internet stunned.

The Full Story

PurpleTurtle2626 took to Reddit’s ‘Am I The A**hole’ forum to share the full story. “Hi! I (23F) and my Bf (23M) live together in a studio apartment. For his birthday I got him three things. He’s really into art, so I got something he really wanted to work on his art. I also got him a unique mug and lastly I got him a lunchbox,” she began.

She then goes on to explain that her boyfriend had been complaining about the fact that he didn’t have a lunchbox. “I know it isn’t a glamorous gift, but I thought it would be a helpful one,” she explained.

She explained that she celebrated her birthday in January, but her boyfriend didn’t give her any gifts because he had “financial issues.”

“Anyway, he was very disappointed when he opened the lunchbox gift and was very upset I got it for him. I explained why, and he was still upset,” she shared.

PurpleTurtle2626 continued, “His birthday was on a Friday, so on Monday, I guess I wasn’t thinking about it. I woke up early and made him his lunch in the lunchbox I got him. He became extremely angry, telling me that he didn’t even eat lunch that week because his teeth were bothering him, and so because I didn’t remember, he was even more mad.”

“He then went on a whole rant, making rude comments at me, demeaning my gift, and saying I don’t listen to him when I talk. While I was just trying to be helpful, and can’t remember everything he says to me! I also didn’t just get him a lunchbox, I got him other things he wanted,” she said in her post.

The Comments

The post instantly caught the attention of other Reddit users, and they rushed to the comments with their thoughts.

Artistic_Tough5005 commented, “Your bf sounds like an ungrateful jerk! What did he want instead of a lunchbox( very thoughtful gift)?”

PurpleTurtle2626 responded, “All he wanted was his art stuff, which I got him!”

Tiggergirluk76 responded with a witty comment, “Ask him if he wants to trade it with you for the gift he got you on your birthday,” which got over 1.2k upvotes.

PrincessBuzzkill said what we were all thinking when they commented, “You got him several gifts, only one of which offered a solution to a problem he continued to tell you about. Then he found reasons to complain about THAT. On top of that, he didn’t get anything for your birthday? Not even a card? Girl. Throw the whole man away. He’s not going to get better – he’s only going to get worse.”
