Relationship Tragedies

Tragedy!

For Christmas he bought me jumper cables...

True story... A dear friend to the melt list team actually gave his partner, now ex-partner a set of jumper cables for Christmas one year.

Bless him, "it's a thoughtful gift" he claims as her car often failed to start and needed to be jumped. We've never had the chance to meet the ex-girlfriend and ask her about the experience ourselves be we all agree this type of gift, no matter how thoughtful or practical they are is just not what a girl wants for a Christmas gift, or any gift... ever!

Gift Wrap    by: Emma

It was my 21st birthday. I eagerly went to open my present from my boyf at the time… expecting jewelry or something beautiful that I could keep forever to commemorate my coming of age. I opened the box… It was full of gift wrap. For me. Because, according to him: “You love wrapping presents!” (WTF?!) He honestly didn’t see the problem. In his defense, the papers he had picked out were beautiful. Shame I had to GIVE THEM AWAY WHEN THEY WERE WRAPPED AROUND OTHER PEOPLE’S PRESENTS.
Car Tyres    by: Sarah

My husband bought me a brand new set of tyres for my car - as a Birthday present! He said that he wanted me to be safe and that it was "obvious" I needed new tyres. Not sure why he didnt notice my favourite perfume had run out or that I could use some new lingerie...
