Girl Friend Wants Gold

[stephenchristenbury]

My girl friend wanted a gold necklace for a charm she has.I went out yesterday and bought her three as a surprise.I thought I had really done well.After dinner I presented these to her one at a time,just tring to keep her happiness going.To my surprise ,she says these are nice and all,but I wanted a longer,heavier one.Well to say the least,that really burst my little bubble.I guess I had my pride hurt.I know thats against everything that the lord has taught me,but it sure hurt.Still praying about that tonight.

Welcome Stephen. I know you must be hurt, but turn it over to God. Sometimes when we try to do our best to please the ones we love and care about, it seems to backfire. Pray that God will give your girlfriend a grateful heart and a thankful heart. Pray that God will give you peace with this and don't let satan cause this to weigh on your heart and mind. We will pray for both of you. Hopefully your girlfriend will see the love you have by giving the gift rather than focusing on the gift itself. My wife gives my things all the time. Some are small, some are not. It is not the gift, but the thought and love behind the gift.

it would have bursted most peoples bubbles. It is understandable that you felt hurt. I am sure she didn't mean to hurt you though.

Stephen, I am sooooooo sorry this happened to you. I don't know your girlfriend, but I would bet that she didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Of course I understand that that isn't much consolation. You sound like a real sweetheart and it's too bad that things didn't turn out the way you had hoped. I wish my husband was THAT thoughtful!!! I will be praying for both of you.

I guess you could have asked about the gold chain she wanted before going out and buying 3 for her. It depended on what size the charm is....whether large and heavy or small and light! She was probably disappointed in not getting one longer and heavier one, but she may not have meant to hurt you! I would have been hurt too, if I gave someone something and they didn't appreciate it, even if it wasn't what they wanted or expected. I have and they have!!!!
