how would you react if someone gave your S.O. a personal Christmas gift?
So if a guy gave your girlfriend/wife a piece of jewelry for Christmas would it bug you? Would you want her to wear it in public where someone might say, "i love that necklace. where did you get it?"

One year I recieved a broach and a lovely note from someone from my past-his mom had passed away and he remembered that I had told her once that this particular piece was beautiful..he, not the deceased mother, wanted me to have it...I must say, the Ex was slightly p.o'd because it wasn't too long after we were married and he thought there "was something up" ...LOL ..what a doof. (and yes, I still wear it-often. It's a circular pin with about 300 arora borealis stones-its breathtaking)

I would need a darn good understanding of the relationship and the reason for the gift.
About 18 years ago my wife worked in a video store. Some mildly creepy guy used to hang around there and chat with her. She was always a bit uncomfortable with his "friendliness". He knew she was married with a child, but at Christmas he bought her a big stuffed animal. My wife refused his gift, and he was a little upset. He stopped hanging around after that.

If I knew the guy, it probably wouldn't bother me too much. I guess it would also depend on how personal the gift was.

 If its a personal gift its from someone who is obviously close to her. If someone's that close with her and she didn't tell me anything about them, I'd be a little upset.

the only people that have ever give my fiancee jewelry are me and my parents. my parents gave her a nice diamond bracelet as a "welcome to the family" gift. that was followed by a pearl pendant my dad bought on whim for my fiancee. now they're looking at earings for her. we're not even married yet! my parents think the world of her and I can't blame them.
if "some guy" was my dad, then hell yes I would want my fiancee to wear it in public. if it was some other random dude not family, then no. he can give my fiance the jewelry, but he'll see it in the pawn shop window the following week. how about you Nickel?

there's certain gifts that tend to be unofficially reserved for giving to a significant other. like, if a guy gives your girlfriend linerie for instance. personally i think jewelry should be reserved for family and significant others, ditto with stuffed animals. So yeah, if someone gave my SO a cute little teddy bear or something, i'd probably feel weird about it.

it's like when one of my female friends explained that she didn't know what a money shot was and asked me to explain. by the way, to answer the original question, i concur with the people above. if it was a guy friend who wasn't a freak (ie wasn't stalking her or perving out on her), and he got her a necklace (any type but pearl ) or earrings or a pair of gloves or whatever, i'd be fine.lingerie, no. rings, no. vibe, no. but basically, i'm pretty low-key about that kind of stuff. |

or when one of my female friends asked what a blow job was...in our college cafeteria!!
oh yeah, with everyone else...it's one more present that she gets, so it's one bit happier she becomes. but if there's something else i sense behind the present (ie her pupils dilate), then i'm gonna be pissed.Last edited by RoniMan : 12-01-2004 at 11:15 AM. |

Anyways, I wouldn't like it if my g/f received any jewely or personal gifts from another man, especially a former love interest. It'd be ok if it was someone I knew - like a friend of mine. But like most other times when I get jealous, I'd just hold it in as to not act the fool . |

Depends on who and why... but in general I have a pretty high threshold for what would make feel uncomfortable (ex: an ex giving her lingerie would be kinda weird). IMO, it would be nice for her to get nice things and given that I'm miserable in that aspect... not really fair to her to limit her gift options.
Seriously though, IMO it's more of an issue of how much I trust her. If she is the kind of person who can be bought with a few gifts then I wouldn't want to keep her anyways. Seems to me that if someone bought her with a gift then he/she gave me a better gift than they gave her.

i can't think of anything anyone would give prm that would upset me... i cna think of a couple of guys who, if they bought me something REALLY over-the-top, prm might be a bit miffed by it, but he wouldn't really get pissed... we know where we stand with each other
 and actually, if some guy was clueless enough to buy me jewelry, we'd both just have a good laugh (i think jewelry is a dumb way to spend money.)

"if a girl (except for a relative) gave a guy i was serious with jewelry, anything more than a tietack, he ain't wearing it. but then again... i might ask him to wear the jewelry only when we were having sex. that might be fun" - nickel (I tried the quote thingy and it came out all weird looking)
I would be bothered by it only if I felt like the gift was received from a person who liked my SO and if his accepting the gift encouraged this person to keep pursuing him but for the most part, I agree with Nickel... hahaha...i mean he is with YOU for a reason and not the girl who essentially wasted X amount of money on him |
