G Man gave me BOSE earbuds to use with my IPOD, for my birthday. I really like them, The sound quality is fabulous. Hooowwwwweevvvvvveerrrr, he bought a friend of ours, who (whom?) also is a business associate of G Man's, a very expensive David Yurman bracelet for this friend's 40th birthday. We are going to NYC this weekend for a surprise party her husband is throwing.
The thing is, this bracelet gift is eating at me. So I asked G Man to explain to me WHY our friend is recieving this EXPENSIVE gift. He replied because they work together and he makes alot of money selling the products her company manufactures. AND "you know how she is and what she expects." There was more to our conversation, which got loud and heated. G Man could not believe that I was upset and said he would love the BOSE earbuds, that is why he got them for me. Exactly!!!!! you moron you gave me what you like!!!!!
I do not need more jewlery, but David Yurman is my FAVORITE designer. I have a few pieces of his jewlery, which G Man has given me over the years. SO why in Gods name would he give jewlery from MY favorite designer to another woman!!!!!!! you stupid stupid stupid man!!!!!!!!!! Why give her something that I savor, wait for, and do not get often. In 25 years of marriage I have recieved 3 pieces of David Yurman jewlery from G Man. Yurman is MY designer, special to me from G Man. Or so I thought.
Is this petty? AM I being ridiculous as G Man has told me? WTF!!!
PS: my spell check is not working, not sure why, so I most likely have spelling erros. Especially with the I before E words. Sorry

Is there any way to answer that question without pissing you off ? :)
kirby: yes tell me the truth. AM I being selfisn and childish?
Kirby: I actually mean I will only get pissed off if some one lies or sguar coats an opinion (sp?)SO please go ahead and tell me what you think
I think that him giving you something that he really thought you would like should be enough. But that's just one guys opinion.
OK maybe I over reacted. I will apologize to G Man and make it up to him some how.
My step mother got my dad some Bose earphones to go along with the iPod my sis and I got him for Xmas. He's hard of hearing so the setup has brought back great music to his life.
Surely, there must have been an equally luxe gift your husband could have given this business associate that would have shown his appreciation, like a case of champagne or theatre tickets, but he didn't.
It clearly touched a nerve with you. It doesn't matter what caused it, if you're afraid that you've acted like a selfish child, then apologize for that behavior.
The 800lb. gorilla in the room seems to be this, was it just a clueless guy moment, or is something more sinister going on? You won't know the answer to that until you can talk openly (and think clearly).
Jewlery is for your girlfriend or your wife, your mom, maybe, but not a business associate.
But you must remember that men have 2 heads and only enough blood to supply one at a time.
My feelings would be hurt and I'd be angry. But I'm not a man. I hope you didn't apologize. He should return it and get her something else. He should apologize to you.
My first question is:
"why would he give any jewelry to another woman"?
ladies: you have expressed my sentiments. I questioned G Man extensively and have determined that the jewlery buy was a stupid guy moment. The easiest avenue for him to buy a gift. He did not think about it, knew it was something I really loved and decided if it's ok for the wife then it is ok for our friend/business associate.EAsy and done with.

I'm with Doad on this one... but we were raised by the same gal.
A case of great wine... but NOT jewelry. No. Never.
Shame on G-man. Lesson learned, I hope.
maybe it was just a stupid guy mistake....but i would be more upset that he didn't take your advise, when you told him it wasn't appropriate. if im not mistaken, he blamed this on his male stupidity after the gift had already been given and received?
No question about it-- wives get jewelry, not business associates. You are right to be angry.
Yeah, getting her jewelry was, like, totally wrong. It's almost like, infidelity.
(It's killing me that i arrived here so late. I've always had bad timing..)
But at least he didn't pull a Homer on you, when Homer got Marge a bowling ball with "Homer" engraved on it, knowing she doesn't bowl....
that still cracks me up.
