It's no secret that Valentine's Day isn't really about love. Maybe it started out that way, but now it's a commercial holiday that has been blown way out of proportion. While some couples don't celebrate at all and others are pretty low-key about it, many couples go all out and spend crazy amounts of money to express their love for one another. There's nothing wrong with spending money on one another, but both parties should be on the same page about what's expected on the big day. What shouldn't be expected is being a mind reader and knowing exactly what the other person wants for the big day of love. We also shouldn't demand that our partners spend an exorbitant amount of money on us. If couples are going to celebrate, then the day should be about spending time together and appreciating having one another. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP was fuming over the thoughtful gift her boyfriend got her, which she considered cheap.

    We're gonna need to do a deep dive into this post to understand what went down for this couple on Valentine's Day.

    Font - I F, 31 have been with my boyfriend M, 37 (who's a single dad with 2 boys) for 2 years. He has a decent job with decent income and is into woodworking as a hobby.

    OP's man sounds adorable. Within the first paragraph, we already know he's a keeper.

    Font - For Vdays, Bdays and every other celebration, He'd gift me mostly jewelry and I get him his favorite gadgets or sports gear. For this Valentine I got him sneakers, I found out today that his gift for me was a wooden framed photo of him, me, and the kids. I gotta say I wasn't thrilled with it. When I told my

    Font - boyfriend my honest opinion (I didn't wanna open my mouth but he pushed me) He said he couldn't believe this was my reaction bjt I pointed out that he has money to for an $200 necklace at least so I could wear it at the engagement party. but he said I was out of line to imply he was being cheap when all he was doing was to make me

    Font - a special gift and also had the kids help with it and put so much thought and effort in it because they see me as family and I should be appreciative of that. I said I was but still thought he could've added the necklace as a great combo but he got even more mad saying he couldn't understand why I'd value a necklace as much as or even over a special gift he and the kids

    Font - made for me. We went back and forth on this and breakfast got ruined. He went upstairs amd refused to speak to me. I feel like he blew this out of propotion since he asked for my opinion and I don't know if he has the right to be upset with me now. AITA?

    Font - Predd1tor · 20 hr. ago Forget the value of the wood and labor – why isn't it worth more that he and the kids made this for her, and that it's a clear symbol of love and acceptance into their family. What could be worth more than that? Their beautiful gesture is clearly wasted on this materialistic, ungrateful woman. Yeah, OP, YTA. Get over yourself and appreciate what you've got with these people before you lose them. All the expensive shiny jewelry in the world won't buy you love and fam

    Font - Major_Zucchini5315 · 19 hr. ago Yes, OP's entitlement is staggering. And the comment about him having money for the necklace so she could wear it to the engagement party tell me it's all about optics for her. BF and his children made this gift for her to show how much they loved her and considered her a part of their family and she literally shit on them. And all of this 'he pushed me to tell him' is complete bs. I hope the engagement party she was talking about isn't theirs because she l

    Font - Bmillybluntz · 19 hr. ago YTA. Depending on the size and type of wood he could have easily spent $200 on the frame. If being "cheap" is the issue (which would still make OP TA), this gift isn't the one to complain about. She just won't get attention from other people for it so she doesn't see value in it

    Font - chalrs123 · 21 hr. ago O S 2 YTA his gift is awesome and amazing. The fact that you're upset because of the dollar value is sad. There are things in life that are more important than money. Those 3 people in that picture and who made that frame are more valuable than a necklace.

    Font - agarrabrant · 20 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [15] And the kids! Heck, having stepkids think of you as part of the family is an amazing gift. I was over the moon when one of my stepsons told his daughter to call me Grandma (my name). That's the best gift ever!! Who needs a stupid necklace? YTA majorly.
