“Cheap-o”

best of clashes

We had been dating for a year and a half and he gave me $20 in a card for Christmas.

—Lauren

Aftermath: Pretty sure he is seeing someone else. If I’m only worth $20, I’d hate to see what she gets.

    What, you expect him to go out and buy you something worth hundreds of dollars after only a year and a half? If you’re that ungrateful, it’s no wonder he’s cheating.

    Are you serious? A year and a half is worth a lot more than a $20 bill in a card. I’m sure she wouldn’t have cared if he got here a $20 gift. It’s the thought that counts and cash requires none. Get off your high horse Nix

    Actually, yes, she SHOULD expect more than $20 in a card after a year and a half. (Hardships notwithstanding.) It’s not about the money — it’s about the effort. She gets my vote on this one.

    just a question… during the year and a half relationship between this ungrateful boob and yourself who payed for the nights out, dinner, drinks, concerts, movies?
    Lemme guess… you?
    No? dutch?
    No?
    Assuming he didn’t sit on his butt as he courted you, is it possible that instead of appreciating all the simple, everyday gifts he may have given you, you focused solely on a lack of a “substantially meaningful” gift he failed to satisfy you with on a manufactured holiday.
    Turn off the “Sex and the City” DVD marathon,and quit expecting, you deserve what you earn, nothin’ more.
    put the Bon Bons down, and grow up.
