Women Are Sharing The “Gift” That Screamed “I Really Don’t Know You At All”

15.

“One Christmas, my ex-husband got me a Home Alone Funko Pop and a handful of those little brain-teaser puzzles you get in the toy section at Barnes and Noble. We hadn’t ever watched that movie together, I have no affinity for it, and I don’t even collect those dolls. And I famously hate those little metal puzzles. I was devastated and exploded into tears. I had spent a lot of money and thought on a beautiful watch to replace his that had broken.”

“He doubled down and insisted he had put a lot of thought into the gifts and was furious with me for being ‘ungrateful.’

This was just one of many red flags, and I am happy to say I wised up and we divorced in 2020, and I am now engaged to someone whose gifts make me tear up because they know me so well.”
