He isn’t sure if his girlfriend considered this record to be more valuable than their relationship, but it’s certainly seeming that way.
His girlfriend agreed to only give the record away to one of her friends who will like it because she thinks tossing it will be wasteful.
He attempted to get the point across to his girlfriend that he needs her to trash this present in order to help him feel like he can move forward in their relationship and heal, but she won’t have it.
Knowing his girlfriend is still hanging onto this record deeply hurts him, and it will continue to hurt him if she re-gifts the record to her friend because he wants it to be destroyed.
He’s considering giving his girlfriend an ultimatum: if she’s not going to literally throw the record in the trash, he’s going to break up with her.
He really does not want to end their relationship, but he thinks his girlfriend does not respect how he feels.
“I don’t want to lose her but I also refuse to be a pushover through this. That said, I need to pick my battles wisely and make sure this is the hill I’m willing to die on,” he concluded.
