We received this e-mail from Marcus this morning.....what do you think then answer our Question of the Day.
Morning people! What’s up? I am loving you guys this morning! So check this out. My girl has just informed me that I better have spent at least $500.00 dollars on her this Christmas or she is returning all my gifts! She is out of her mind! I mean come on? That’s not what Christmas is about! I told her she is being selfish and inconsiderate, but she said that she deserves to be treated like a princess. I love her, but what should I do?

Hello,
Tell her Christmas is not about gifts but being with friends and the people you love.Yes, she deserves to be treated like a princess and that the gift you bought her is for a special person.
Please if she really wants the 500.00 more than she wants to be with you ,what does that say about her.
You could tell her that it doesn't matter to you if she returns all your gifts, because that's not what you care about. If that's what SHE cares about, perhaps she should rethink why she's with you.
If you ever get to the point that you're shopping for a ring for this girl, I'd bet a lot that she'll have a dollar amount in mind for that too!
Christmas is about family and friends, not money and gifts. I would never expect my significant other to spend $500 on me and anyone that does is greedy and selfish. Tell her she has forgotten what the meaning of Christmas really is and perhaps she is not the one you are meant to be with.
How old is this relationship? Young one? Yes unreasonable. Old relationhip and crapy presents in the past with no thought, then no, but she could have delivered the message better. Oh and if you are asking the HRM your opinion, she might not be your girl much longer.
She is being totally unreasonable. Did she say she would spend the same on you, or is it a one way street? Even so, it seems she is expecting way too much, and if she wants you to spend beyond your means now, what will your future be like? You need to ask yourself if you want to be with someone who is obviously all about material things and has forgotten the true meaning of Christmas.
Is she for real? Seriously, I would be questioning your relationship with her before considering appeasing her request. What happened to it's the thought that counts?
Christmas should never be about a pricetag. I agree that your gf is being very unreasonable, and completely missing the point of the Holiday season. There are so many people out there who don't have someone special to spend Christmas with, let alone get presents. I think you need to remind her that this time of year is about surrounding yourself with those who enrich your life The presents are just an added bonus. :)
Christmas is about giving not receiving! Or at least it used to be. On christmas I'm happy to have a family who loves me a place to live, food, heat, and so on and so on. What do you have if you don't have that? Nothing and if your girlfriend cannot be thankful and happy with the things she has then she is never going to be happy. There is no sense in wasting your time. She shouldn't be so self centred and think that there are people out there that may not get anything for christmas or even have people to share it with. She should count her blessings while she still has them to count!
Sounds like my ex-girlfriend, hence the Ex part.
My husband likes to spend a lot of money on me at Christmas but that's because he can...and the gifts are well thought of...not bought because of the expense. I would be happy with MUCH less. If your girlfriend cares more about the amount of money put into her gifts than the amount of thought put into them, maybe its time to find a new girlfriend.
I could care less what Christmas is "about", but this seems like a high maintenance girl. I think by just asking the questions you already know the answer, and this may not be someone you want to spend much more time with (or be able to afford to).
I suggest you give her a lump of coal, then dump her greedy selfish ***.
Take her to the Airport for a sandwich. That should cover it.
Marcus my dear dear sweet boy.... time for a new girlfriend... I've been married to a sailor for over 20 years and the best gift I could ever ask for was him to be home safe and sound with me.... and if he ever spent that much money on me I would kill him.... So spend the money on yourself and get a new girlfriend......
Marcus, it's time to pocket your cash, cut your losses, and enjoy some well deserved peace of mind & freedom. This current relationship is simply one brief step on your journey to finding a sincere loving partner whose focus will be on your heart and NOT your wallet. It's time to move on. Have a very Merry Christmas.
I'm dying to know if the Princess got her wish and if Marcus wised up and took his wallet out the door with him. I liked the lump of coal idea the best.....I do hope Marcus didn't cave in to the demand. She's a cold one Princess Grinch.
Anonymous but smart.
