I found a limited edition box set of my bestie's favorite books, and gave them to her for her birthday. When she went to the bathroom, her boyfriend asked me to stop giving her so many gifts because it's making him look like a bad boyfriend

He is a bad boyfriend cause why would he have a problem with you giving her gifts? and if he thought it was making him seem like a bad bf then he should’ve stepped up and done more instead of telling you to stop

possible explanation: my gf has RICH friends and they buy her stuff all the time i could never afford, he might feel bad about that. me personally, we just both enjoy the nice things they get her 😂 I know a letter from me means more to her than a thousand dollar camera from her friend. my guess would be he's just insecure about the financials of it.

Not a damn clue. Sorry I want to give my friend nice things when she's been there for some of the hardest years of my life, right?

I don't personally like him very much, but he's treated her well so far. I just hope he keeps it up...

Lmaoooo that would be funny but I'm aroace, so it's a no for me. But it is sort of funny because we have better friend hang outs than some of the dates they go on. Mainly after stressful assignments we're like "we should go do something fun" and we do 😆

This is an example of him not treating her well, indirectly. I’m sure there’s a lot of other minor things he’s done if he’s bold enough to ask her BEST FRIEND not to treat her. Keep an eye out, girl. Document this shit too, just in case.

Getting her a box set of her favorite show for Christmas because she's gonna make him watch it with her and matching socks. He can fuck around, but after reading the comments and doing my own research, he's gonna find out because no one makes my friend, who helped me through depressive episodes and when I was suicidal, feel like she doesn't deserve nice shit.

She probably already has compared him to her and given how bad the economy is he probably can’t afford all those gifts

Or money is tight right now and he doesn’t want to be guilt tripped into spending even more money on her

I work a full and part time job while also being a college student. Money is tight for me also, but I'm also capable of going to a thrift store and finding something she would like. He didn't even get her a gift for her birthday. And granted, maybe it is hard for him rn, but cards are $1 at dollar general. That would have been enough for her to smother him with kisses. But he didn't get her anything.

I highly doubt she would do that! And even if she did, it would never be to make him feel bad. She's the type of person to feel like she's killed someone when she steps on your toes on accident.
