Im only in my early 20s and hardly expect gifts, much less nuke a relationship over them. Were not children anymore

No gift is like, entitled imo, thats why its a gift. Unless she got him something of like absurdly higher value im not gonna start saying youre a cheapskate because my parents think your gift shouldve been more expensive

I just think its odd she seemingly didnt care but then started caring once her parents did

I mean, I agree through and through. Only thing I'd differ on is that I think gifts need to be given out of a sense of charitableness and not a sense of obligation.

If I get someone something and they didn't get me anything, no worries. I wanted to give something not because I expected anything in return, but because I wanted to give. However if they come to me next day with like.. chocolate or wine? I'd be like "gee thanks, you shouldn't have" and then in my mind be like "you really shouldn't have. I don't even like chocolate, nor do I drink lol. Who do I have to give this to now". But it would have stayed in my head and went no further than that.

Regardless, I'm in agreement that she not only reacted poorly, but didn't seem to do so for any good reason. It'd be one thing if right off the bat she was like "Why chocolate? You know I don't eat these right?". I could understand someone feeling put off in that instance, but to compare it to a white elephant and worst of all, accept the gift only to voice displeasure when someone else tells her to. Very immature
