Why am I so upset about this situation?

I bought my boyfriend a brand new iPhone 6 for christmas but when he opened it he didn't seem too keen about it because he wanted the iPhone 6s.

So he's been asking me almost everyday to sell it so I can buy the 6s and he will pay the difference. We get into arguments about it all the time. If he doesn't like it why doesn't he just sell it and take care of it? I just feel really beyond disrespected

I don't know why you are so upset or why he is making this complicated.

Once given, a gift is the recipients to do with what he wishes. If he doesn't like it, he can exchange or sell it himself.

Once he accepted it, it is now his and he is free to do with it whatever he wants. Tell him it is up to him to return it or sell it and that you are not going to do it for him. You need to tell him: "I'm sorry it wasn't what you wanted, but when you act like it was just a commercial transaction I feel hurt, because that is not what a gift is to me. I want you to understand that I gave you this gift with love, and you should stop making a big deal about how it's not what you want, as if I made some terrible mistake. Please take care of it yourself and don't mention it to me again.
He is the one who behaved badly, not you, so stop being upset at yourself--be upset at him or just forget about it.

Its bad that he acts that way. I used to tell my g/f never buy me a tech product because only I know exactly what I want, but either way I would never act the way he did, I agree with you thats really immature of him.

You have every right to be after spending a lot on a gift.
I remember being happy when a Girlfriend bought me a shirt.
Next time buy him socks or a hat.

  • Why exactly would my dad be upset at me that I broke his laptop after he smashed my iPhone and stepped on it? My dad took my iPhone and smashed it. So I pushed his laptop off the table and it broke. Now he is mad at me. How can he be when he destroyed my iPhone? Irony. Oh I do chores around the house and cook. He broke my phone because I had the speaker too loud when I was studying and watching a video for class
  • Why am I so upset over this? URGENT? Ok so I went to a music festival the other day and lost my iPhone. I don't know if it was dropped or stolen, but it has been all I've been thinking/ worrying about since then. I have been bawling hysterically and keep over thinking/ regretting how I could have lost it or where it could be. I can't stop having these obsessive thoughts and its making me so depressed. Why am I getting so worked up over this?
  • What is the situation with iPhone 5 stock in Apple stores (london)? I will visit the UK next week and aiming to buy an iPhone 5 since it is still not available in my country, but i'm wondering will i be able to walk into an apple store and buy one right away or is it still out of stock?
  • Upset and worried and don't know what to do I got told by my mum when she called me from work saying police are going to track down my iPhone. I don't want that to happen and I'm becoming increasingly worried and upset. What should I do to make sure I'm safe? )
