His Girlfriend Said He Humiliated Her After He Bought Her Best Friend A More Expensive Birthday Gift Than She Did
This 28-year-old guy has a girlfriend who is 26, and his girlfriend has a 25-year-old female best friend that he has ended up coming friends with, too, because of his girlfriend.
Frequently, when he and his girlfriend hang out or do things together, her best friend will tag along, so he really has gotten to know her quite well, and he likes being friends with her too.
His girlfriend’s best friend also likes some things that he does, but his girlfriend doesn’t, like cars and sports, so he can really relate to her.
“For my birthday a few months ago, this friend bought me a sports jersey of my hometown’s team, which I had only mentioned once briefly to her, so it was a very unexpected awesome gift,” he explained.
“The jersey was not cheap (at least $80), so I definitely wanted to return the favor when her birthday came along.”
His girlfriend’s best friend celebrated her birthday a few days ago, and he and his girlfriend were invited to her celebratory birthday dinner.
His girlfriend’s best friend also invited some more of their mutual friends along, so it was quite the gathering.
He really tried his hardest to pick out a meaningful gift for his girlfriend’s best friend, and so he wound up purchasing her concert tickets for a musician that she really likes.
He spent around $150 on the tickets, and he was positive that she was going to be thrilled with the gift.

“After finishing dinner, she opened the gifts that she received,” he said. “I didn’t really think much of it and went along with it. My girlfriend bought her a nice watch, and she seemed to like it.”
“When I gave my gift, everybody, for some reason, seemed stunned, and the friend was really happy about the tickets. Apparently, they are all pretty big fans of the artists, and the tickets weren’t easy to come by.”
“For some reason, my gift became the topic for the rest of the night. Some of the friends started joking that they wanted to become my best friend so that I could buy them gifts. I didn’t really think much of it because it really just seemed that they were joking around.”
When the night was over, he and his girlfriend got in the car to drive back to her place, and he could tell that his girlfriend was really angry.
He asked his girlfriend if something was wrong, and she lost it on him. She accused him of humiliating her in front of every single one of her friends because he bought her best friend a “better gift” than she had purchased.
He then asked his girlfriend to clarify what she meant, she said that he “made her look cheap with the gift she gave.”
He’s left wondering if he really did something wrong. What do you think?
