Should he have bought me flowers?

I have a boyfriend who is currently unemployed and couldnt afford to get me anything too expensive. I was pretty happy with my presents as I'm a bit of a rock chick and the unique things he got I really liked them.



However I have this guy mate who got me a late birthday present. I went away with my boyfriend and I got home to find a really expensive bunch of flowers off my friend.



The question I'm asking is should my friend have bought me something more expensive than my partner? And am I right to have been grateful about my boyfriends more thoughtful present?

Its the thought that counts, you are one damn lucky girl, appreciate whatever you get, some of us get zilch,

You have all the answers, obviously your boyfriend doesn't work, wise guy not to break the bank, make a loan, borrow or steal to please you.

On the other hand you have a thoughtful friend who thinks the world of you, and got you the best

Just be grateful and count your blessings

Wish I could get one flower, never mind a bunch!!
Reply:No I don't any harm has been done there by any party at all. Your friend is your friend and he gave you the flowers to help make your day extra special - how would even know what gift your boyfriend gave you? I like the fact that you appreciated the more thoughtful, maybe less expensive gifts from your man. Just be happy you have such nice people around you
Reply:Can't you just enjoy them all without worrying so much about the cost of everything?
Reply:I think it's fine. I buy flowers and stuff for my female mates and that's not an issue, even if they have boyfriends.



Thing is, your bf bought you things that mean a lot to you, and will last much longer than flowers. Your bf's gifts came from the heart. Your friend's gift was expensive to make up for the fact that it was delivered late, that's all. Think of it that way.
Reply:Women like you make a bad name for the good women who just a appricate a gift of love or friendship. Here YOU are comparing gift prices!!! OMG you sound very selfish!!!!!
Reply:What is wrong with you?



People give "gifts" whatever they are because they're thinking of you and want you to know it.



You should say "thank you" and put the flowers in a vase and get over yourself.
Reply:why do you have to put a price on things?...you said that your b/f is out of work, so how can he get you expensive gifts, and what does it matter if your friend got you a present that was dearer than what your b/f got you, you should be grateful that he got you anything at all....love is free hun, and yeah appreciate what your b/f got you and not what your friend got you, at least he made the effort....money isn't everything....
Reply:The thing is; maybe he just isnt the kind of person that likes to show how much he likes someone that way.



Personally, i like to part gifts into a person like memories of how nice i was or how much that person wants to make sex with me...you get the idea? Its kind of like "cognitive memories" that im trying to impart onto her.



See, if you give someone a red rose, it doesnt last very long and if you give them it constantly then it can get a bit old (even tiresome - less refreshing?) but if you give them a memory..it would last perhaps until they die.
Reply:this friend has bought what he thought you would like. your boyfriend bought you what he knew you would like. thats the difference thought and knew.

you will realise that its not the cost of things that matter, it takes more effort to understand what your partner likes and dislikes are. stop worrying, my husband of 17 years sometimes cannot afford to get me nothing, i understand that.
Reply:It's just a birthday present, girlfriend! Do you want to equate your bf's love and care to a bunch of flowers given to you by a friend?I think your too smart to do that.So enjoy your gifts,be grateful to your friend for the flowers.It doesn't matter who gives you what as long as your man is still number in your life.
Reply:its not about the presents its the thought that counts.....
Reply:How old are you?



(1) You have a boyfriend. Be thankful.



(2) You have friends. Be thankful.



(3) Go volunteer with those who don't have a home or food or loved ones. That will answer your question.
Reply:ehm...not really seeing the problem here, you get flowers AND thoughtful presents.... I get NONE OF THE ABOVE!

okay?

Have a nice day.
Reply:its the thought that counts not the price and besdes you bf presant comes from the heart that bound to mean more
Reply:You should value it as it is, a gift. What should matter is that you B/F had spent time and effort finding something that you would think as valuable, sod how much it costs
Reply:it;s not the cost that counts it is the thought, and your friend maybe did;nt even realise they were more than the pressie you got from your boyfriend, just be happy you have a loving byfriend and a very good friend
