In 🇮🇹 for a week, and I saw a gorgeous necklace at the Vatican earlier today. Immediately recognized that it was her fav colors and picked it up. Spent the majority of the funds I had to get it, specific amount doesn’t matter. But when I showed it 1/2

To her, her reaction was laughing and saying “that’s not at all what I want. I want a sweatshirt.”. And it kinda just crushed my chest. I don’t even know how to feel right now. I’m walking around the street and am just reflecting on the conversation. I just need some other perspectives on this. I am gonna tell her later how it made me feel, but part of me just wants to toss the necklace now. For some context we’ve been together for over two years and have been stable the entire time. 2/2

Technically I showed it to her sister first because I was asking her if it would be better to give it to her in a nice box or in the fancy bag it came in, and the way that she saw it was through her glasses before saying the rest

That sounds ungrateful to say that about a gift :( when she said she’d rather have a sweatshirt, did she already know for sure you had gotten her the necklace? Or was she saying that about a photo, perhaps thinking you hadn’t decided yet what gift to get?

If she said it knowing you’d already bought it, that’s especially inconsiderate. If you otherwise have a good relationship, it would be worth it to bring it up with her and let her know that you felt hurt at that reaction.
