A man said he has been left feeling “uncomfortable and embarrassed” after his girlfriend took credit for Christmas presents that were supposed to be from both of them.
While most couples give joint presents to their respective families, one man was left fuming when his girlfriend said gifts to her family were all from her - despite him telling his own family his gifts were from both of them, the Mirror reported.
Taking to Reddit, he explained: “This is how we agreed to handle gifts: I buy gifts for my family and say it's from both of us, and she buys gifts for her family and says it's from both of us. I made sure to ask multiple times to confirm that this is how we're doing it, and she said yeah every time.
"We already did gifts with my family and I made sure to mention and highlight that the gifts are from both of us. But then we got to doing gifts with her family today and she kept saying 'This is from me!' or 'I got you this', not once saying 'we' or 'us'. I tried to get her attention to hint that the gifts were from us both but she just ignored it."
The man said his girlfriend's actions made him look like "a total d**k" because it now seems as though he failed to buy a present for anyone, even though they all got him a gift. He said the situation was "super uncomfortable and embarrassing" for him, and he now doesn't know how to proceed.
Commenters on the post said his girlfriend's behaviour was "really odd" and encouraged the man to talk to her about it, as she needs to understand why her actions were hurtful. One person said: "Really odd. Have you spoken to her about it since?," to which another added: "Very important that you do. It needs to be sorted out, that's f***ed up."
Someone else wrote: "That's really odd that
