My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 5 months. We are older, in our 40's, and should be past playing games. She apparently, according to her parents, has had a problem in the past being a "shopaholic" (in this case, fashion jewelry, clothes in her closet that still have the tags on them she has not worn yet). We finally got to a point where I felt it was time for a nice piece of jewelry, so I picked out with her a pair of earrings in her birth stone. They were at a price I could afford.
When we finally got back to her home, she felt guilty, took her mother aside, and they both came back advising me to take the earrings back, her father chiming in the background "she has enough jewelry" (that's not the point, it was a step of greater commitment and love).
Should I feel insulted, or roll with the apparent "shopaholic" problem?
