writes:Today my boyfriend told me what I was getting for Christmas--a wallet keychain thing that his mother picked out. A little while later, he casually mentioned how his "ex wants something" for Christmas, so he drew her a shadow heartless from Kingdom of Hearts and wrote her name at the top. What bothers me is that he actually took the time to draw something (for a girl who cheated on him), while his mother (apperantly without his knowledge, but still), had bought mine. Personally, I would have rather gotten something made by my boyfriend than bought from a store.Do you think I have a right to be upset about this, or do you think I'm just overreacting?

He should get you something on his own, maybe he is unsure what to get you, drop hints while checking out a catalog or let friends know if he asks what to say, lots of ways to get the message across.

 you should be upset. i would too. to my guess its sort of like he still has feelings for her to be able to take time on her gift.

And especially, why is he giving her something for Christmas, and why is he giving her something she asked for, at all?
