My boyfriend bought his female friend a gift I would have liked

My boyfriend has a female friend who is a lesbian, they speak everyday and are super close. My bf and I had such a nice weekend away together with my family and have just arrived home. The gift he bought for his female friend had been delivered and he opened it and it’s over £70 worth of Beyoncé’s Cecred hair care line. Now fun fact, everyone knows, and more importantly he knows how much I LOVE beyonce to the point where it’s a little obsession. You’d think he’d think of me when he goes to buy this but he thought of her. I feel super upset and jealous, because he hasn’t gifted me anything since I’ve been pregnant, in fact we’ve gone halves on most things. It was our anniversary last week and we went out for dinner and I told him no gifts because we are having a baby and we should save but come to see he’s given my perfect gift to someone else. Am I overreacting?

Show your support

Girl , you’re not overreacting . You should probably express to him how this comes across , hopefully he understands x

I can understand you being upset. I think you need to have a conversation about this

No you are not overreacting.. boundaries need to be set from now.. sorry but there’s no need for a man in a relationship to be buying gifts for another woman that’s not his mum or sister. That £70 could be put towards nappies and milk. My hormones would have me throwing it all in the bin 😩😤

1. How long have you two been a couple and how long has he known her for? 2. Has she always been a lesbian or is she bi? As in have they ever done a ting before in the past. 3. Has he always bought her nice gifts for her previous birthdays? 4. Could it be that he also bought you stuff from her line as a Christmas gift for you too? As a side note, be very, very careful with the whole 50/50 thing. As a woman you will 100% be taking on more of the workload being a parent and the last thing you want is resentment creeping in. I hope you’ve already discussed how your bills etc will be paid for given you’ll be mat leave and earning a pittance.

But also… perhaps it was meant for you and you weren’t supposed to see it, then he panicked and said it’s for his friend ??

Why did he buy her the gift? Was it her birthday? It’s very generous to spend on a friend. I guess it depends on what he spends on others and you. Christmas it coming up so maybe he has got to it. I think possibly you are overreacting but it’s probably worth having the conversation.

You’re not overreacting, this is very inappropriate behaviour from him. Hopefully he was pretending it’s for her when it’s actually for you.
