Sorry for openning a thread just for this, but I feel like I need to open up about it.
So, yesterday was my girlfriend's birthday and I gifted her a birthday card and a Xiaomi Mi Band 4 (something that she really wanted, but it's somewhat expensive here on Brazil).
She seemed very grateful and happy about it, even though she's a quite closed person emotionally.
But then begins the problem: I saw Humble Bundle's announcement for Spyro/Crash/COD WWII and I thought with myself "Well, she always wanted to play Crash and I really like Spyro despite having it on PS4, why not buy it?".
So I gifted her Crash's key with the best of intentions, mind you; she recieved it and tryed playing it for a while, but complained that it was too hard (nothing really surprising).
Thing is, not one hour ago she messages me saying that she was OFFENDED by my gift, saying that I shouldn't give her something she doesn't like, that I was only thinking about myself when buying the Bundle... I mean, WTF?
Then she continued messaging, implying that she was a secondary concern, that I'm not sincere enough...
In a nutshell, giving an extra gift that wasn't in the initial plan is offensive?
Man... you know what? I'm the one feeling offended here, I've never lived a situation like that in my whole life, how can someone complain about an unplanned gift? She already got her Mi Band 4, is there a reason for complaining?
This is an insult for me, because I gave her the game with lots of affection, how can a human being (a girlfriend, even) just come and smash this affection by beginning a discussion less than 24h after her own birthday?
There are probably thousands of people without any money that would be very greatful about receiving a game as a sincere gift, even if its not your favorite genre....
What a shitty situation...
