We have known each other for 15 years and lived together for 3 of them. We have remained close friends and see each other several times per month. I put alot of effort and thought into gifts and she gave me something that a stranger might give to someone.
I hate cooking, don't have dinner parties and keep away from the kitchen as much as I can...all my friends and family know this, it's just who I am. She gave me an oil and vinegar dispenser.
I normally would never say anything and would just let it go, but this gift has shocked and disappointed me; I feel like I got slapped in the face by a close friend. I don't think that I can pretend that I like it or that I'm not hurt. Was it just that she forgot who I am, was it that she doesn't care or was it a regift? How do I approach this? Help!
By the way, the gift I gave her was thoughtful and appropriate to who she is and I already received a near-tearful 'thank you' phone message.
