gifts

Our first Christmas togther, when I was expecting an engagement ring, he gave me shoes and knives. I cAn't tell you how long I searched the toes of the shoes for the ring, thinking it was a joke. He also gave me an old comforter with cats on it that I think was from his mom's basement, an old coffee pot also from an old apartment or something, a picture frame in the shape of a street sign that said, "Memory Lane" that someone had given him as a gift, and a bunch of red roses (which I hate) with a card saying "For the ONE I love" (becaue I had just found out about the other six women).

Hand-me-down 'gifts'

-big, heavy home-made furniture that he was too cheap to pay the tipping fees on at the dump -an old, dark coloured area rug that had to be vacuumed daily as it showed all the lint--again, he would have had to pay to bring it to the dump. (I eventually did dump it when I discovered the lint problem) -leftover stir fry dishes that he dropped off in order to brag about what a great cook he was--I don't even like stir-fry dishes. -music discs he made himself with crappy music that I eventually threw out after one listen I could go on and on...the guy is as cheap as dirt. But, if he gave me a million dollars, I STILL wouldn't let him back into MY LIFE!

My N had an accident that left her with a broken clavicle and several broken ribs. I took care of her overnight in the hospital, made her several meals, weeded her garden, gave her a pedicure, helped her get groceries and shop, listened to her whine and feel bad for three weeks through constant online chats and emails..... Her thank you....two small bags of black licorice when she returned the containers from the meals I had made for her! Also, a couple things I gave to her, she regifted to another friend of hers... SO lame! ~KG

No gifts in 10 years! But...

He reluctantly gave me some free athletic gear (he had boxes of free stuff but never offered anything - I had to ask for a few T-shirts). Granted he had no money (after screwing off millions) and I worked, but he had a $500 dog who he bought expensive stuff for. Flowers on my birthday were picked from his yard. He never got me a card either. On Valentine's Day he considered himself the gift. We always spent it together but he never made any effort, but seemed to enjoy mine. This is really embarrassing to admit but one year we had Valentine's at his house and I brought the flowers!!!! I justified it because his sister was very ill and staying there. I had to TELL HIM to share them with her!! He was going to keep them for himself!!! He acted like it was perfectly normal for me to bring roses to him! Freaky! I guess this was after many years together and I had lost perspective of a normal man/woman relationship by then. Believe me, he is the ONLY man I ever bought flowers for, ay yay yay...

Great thread!

ItsAllGood - I love this: "A camera so I could take pictures of him!" LOL, my exn was obsessed with having me take photos of him. It was so irritating. I could never even enjoy vacation anywhere because every five seconds we would have to stop us so I could take a photo of his beautiful face. Drove me crazy!!!!!!!!

Bag of potato chips

This bears repeating. He and I were going out to lunch, and he deigned to give me the rest of his chips. Aw, how sweet.

I got a chain..$2.50 and it turned my neck green and made me break out. He said I was ungrateful for not continuing to wear it. Oh and when we went to Mickey D's I bought my own $1 burger.

Only took me out to dinner because I asked!

Maybe 5 nice dinners out in 10 years! he never initiated anything but he always had a great time once we went. Many take out dinners at his house as he did not ever care about making me happy. He did not have much money but it only cost $3 to go for a beer and walks in the park are free. he went out alot without me - he also had very expensive male toys - the biggest TV ever and everything else he wanted... The last time we went out for dinner I paid cause his finances got worse. He called and said "if you want me to go out to dinner if has to be tonight in 30 minutes, I am busy tomorrow and then going out of town". I had just gotten home from work in work clothes and had less than 30 minutes to get ready to go out for our only date of the year at a fancy restaurant. He acted like he was doing me a favor! He snapped out of being an ass and we went and had a great time and a totally romantic evening like a real couple and that was the end of our history...he was showboating with the waitress though, not flirting but trying to act like Mr. Downtown and knowledgeable about all the hip restaurants - ugh..

my gifts- to shut me up

Love this! You guys are making me laugh so hard! I needed that. I have to say this to you guys- my narc gave me alot- it was sickening - I won't even tell you guys how much and/or what because its actually silly and he basically felt he had to buy me. It was his way of "shutting me up". So I wouldn't rage or freak on him for his lies and deceit. It never came from his heart. Funny thing is,I did freak out anyways! I did rage anyways! I'm Italian! I will never, ever shut up! He is a moron! HA! My point is, a narc is a narc no matter what. He still shit all over me. It doesn't matter how much$ he spent on me, he still treated me like trash. :( I would gladly trade all that material crap he gave me for a sweet version of my ex N, anyday. I would take him being a pauper, if that meant I'd wake up from this nightmare and it turned out to be all untrue and that he was good and that the pretend guy was real and mean guy wasn't. If only. :(

funny thing about "gifts" You

funny thing about "gifts" You could get the most ,i dunno, cheapest? silliest? weirdest gift from a GOOD hearted, WELL intentioned man and it would be the BEST gift ever..... or you could get an expensive and elaborate gift from an asshole....and it will be the most meaningless gift ever.

From the Ashes

Gifts

Gifts, think about the price tag, the eternity ring, with 3.5 carats of diamonds, sounds great, but would not even fit my little finger, it was only to make him look good anyway- to wear in public, Sexy undies, just the best in silk, stunning, he got the colour right to, but in a size 0, and yep you got it I aint! the best was re-gifting, an OW bought him a book, he just passed it on, he didn't even re wrap it so had no idea it was one I already had, (he knew I had this book)what a F****** cheap trick. At least with the expensive stuff I could go back to the shop, the little lingerie item was £700, so I had some fun with that, and the stockings that went with it, in an extra small, they were like fucking pop socks! oh and the belt, 22inch, yep could wear it as a thong, don't get me wrong ladies I am only a UK 12, but ......... I got so fed up with crap presies that I just used to give him a model number and a link to an on line retailer- sort of solved the problem! All in love of course! What an Ass hole.
