During lunch this afternoon, H mentioned something about if anyone had asked about what I got for Christmas. I held my tounge and my breath for a few minutes and finally had to tell him that I had cried when my boss asked me about my Christmas gift yesterday morning (leave me alone, I'm PMSing and my mom and dad had just left lol).
I told him I was grateful for the body wash, hand soap and massage oil and the massage that resulted from the oil, but that I was a little upset about the re-gifted stocking stuffers and the IOU for a dog I don't want and we don't need. I made a slip up about saying that bath stuff is kind of a fallback gift for women everywhere and I would have been much happier with something a little more personalized (and something he wasn't going to use - he keeps requesting a massage with the oil and has been washing his hands non-stop because he loves the soap so much).
When I brought up the re-gifted candy from his boss as a stocking stuffer he said it was a "gag gift"...? *sigh* If he hadn't told me it was what his boss had given him and if he hadn't opened the bag of candy and eaten all of the reeses cups and peanut butter santas and only left me with 3 Muskateers Mint minis - I probably wouldn't be too upset about this.
I pissed him off. He barely talked to me for the rest of my lunch break (I went home for lunch) and I was crying because I felt like a horrible person. I've never complained about a gift - I wasn't TRYING to complain about a gift. Most people I talked to about this said I needed to tell him that I hope next year is better so I don't end up disappointed year after year. I still feel like a cvnt.
I suck.
