My friend and I have been best friends for over 17 years. At Christmas and Birthdays we exchange gifts. Every year, I put a lot of thought into these gifts. I don't spend a fortune, usually around $20 for each her and her husband. I can't say that she does the same. Last year for my birthday, we went out to brunch with a $100 gift certificate that I received, and I had to pick up the rest of the tab... (Appx. $75)This year, as we exchanged gifts a few nights before Christmas, I opened her gift to me to find a $3 candle. She gave my husband a $2.97 bottle of cheap wine... This friend is a professional and b/w her and her husband, they bring in well over $100k per year. My husband is retired from the military, and I make a fraction of what she does... I know that it's the thought that counts, but this doesn't show me that she thinks very much of our friendship. What should I do? I'm tired of being taken advantage of!
