How far would you go when buying a present for your partner/spouse...?

[DTES]

Strange question perhaps, but I ask after hearing that a Leeds supporter here has just bought his girlfriend a Man Utd shirt (personalised with HIS name, not hers - they're not married) for her birthday. She does support Man U. "It's what she wanted".

I like to think that if my girlfriend asked me for a Palace shirt with my name on I'd flatly say no, even if it is what she wants for her birthday. Does that make me a bad boyfriend, or is my (unnamed) colleague just a mug?

What you want and what you get are two different things. If your GF loved you properly - without the need of batteries, she wouldn't make you humiliate yourself like that (unless you're into role-playing games).

You colleague isn't a mug. He's a total berk.

If my girlfriend asked me that she would be my ex very quickly

Girlfriend asks for Palace shirt = time or a new girlfriend

I once went to London Town to buy one of these for my then girlfriends birthday. Exciting, and what did she do, she stuck it in my ear!

I got as far as www but I couldn't bring myself to add the dot, let alone the rest.

I asked my missus what she wanted for her birthday

She went all silent, and I thought here we go

I asked her if she fancied a diamond ring

No answer

I asked her if she fancied a fur coat

No answer

I asked her if she fancied an Audi TT

No answer

I asked her again what she wanted

She then said she wanted a divorce

I thought about it, then said...

I wasn't thinking of spending that much

Punishment required if she even asks for a Palace shirt. Let alone one with your name on it.
