Recently my friend received a gift from her boyfriend - a very expensive bracelet. But the substance of her response left us in astonishment - she didn’t attend to the exquisiteness(of the gift and wanted to return it to him
In terms of salary, the gift was in excess of her economic capability. In addition, she couldn’t give something of equal value in return, which made her feel pressured.
She always believed that sincerity is the nutrient to cultivate relationships, so she expressed her true feelings to her boyfriend, and he showed a total understanding and respect. But he said, " Gift giving isn’t an ’ exchange program’. If you give a gift, it shows that you care about someone and it means something to you. Thus, there is no need to feel burdened.
