Hello everyone, thanks for taking a moment to consider my question.
I need your advice on how to react to an arguement my boyfriend raised over a gift card.
For my birthday he thoughtfully gave me a $40 giftcard to JC Penny's. Well, I was delighted, I needed a few basics! Paying for my Graduate program has kept me low on cash and I used the card at JCPenny's to pick up socks, underwear, a few basic shirts and a belt. I was so thankful.
A few weeks after, my boyfriend started asking what I had gotten with his giftcard. (I had already told him, I think he must have forgotten). Well I showed him and thanked him again. However he became so angry! He claimed I wasted the money on crap, and didn't spend it on anything he wanted. He said if I continued to waste his money then no more bday presents. He was expecting me to buy a flashy outfit he could take me out in front of his friends in because he think's my current clothes are "frumpy"
How to apologize and smooth things over?
