writes:Hi All,Ok, I have always had this belief that if someone can lie to you about a small thing, they can lie to you about anything. Recently my Girlfriend handed me a cute little blanket for my four year old son that she said she made for him. It did not look handmade, and i figured "What the heck, thought that counts" But she keeps on bringing it up how "she took so much time and effort to hand make it etc" I recently was browsing through Ebay and i know her Ebay ID was I was able to check her feedback scores...well long story short..she bought it on Ebay. Now my question is: Should I leave well enough alone...or confront her on it? If the answer is confront her..how do i phrase it?Help please...thanks! Reply to this Question |

 I agree with Kris, I wouldn't make too big of a deal about it. I am ashamed to admit I did this once- it was my Dad's birthday and I totally forgot until a couple of days before (he lives in a different state) so I order his gifts online. I called him up and told him his gift may be late even though I ordered it a couple of weeks before. Well, the poor guy is checking the post office every day paranoid that the package was lost, calls me for the tracking number so I told him I'd call the manufacturer to check on the shipping. GOOD GOD. I made up something about how they were out of stock and he'd be getting it in a couple of weeks which he did.
I think she may have just blurted it out and felt guilty about ordering it instead of putting in time to make something (she probably racked her brain for ideas for you child)- checking someone's gift is in bad taste as well, so both of you made some mistakes here. Forgive yourself and her.

I love you for you, not for the things you do." something along those lines
