I was listening to the radio on the way home today, and I heard a promo for tomorrow's morning show: "A girlfriend wonders, is it weak to set a spending limit between boyfriend and girlfriend for Christmas presents? Tune in tomorrow!"
This would be thing #1 I don't get (chronological order, the event that spurred me to create a blog to discuss these things. Not the biggest thing in the world that I don't get, I'm almost positive).
From the way the promo was worded, I'm guessing the girlfriend does indeed think it's weak. Now, is it because she doesn't want there to be a spending limit on what her guy can buy her, or what she can buy him? If the former, well, she's just a selfish bitch, now isn't she? But if it's the latter, it's not that I don't totally get where she's coming from. She wants to give her boyfriend some big huge present that he'll adore because (hopefully) she adores him, and in her head it all ties together. But... assuming she and the guy have discussed this, and this is what he wants to do, and the limit isn't like $5, then it seems that after a little thought, the girlfriend should realize her boyfriend doesn't want a big extravagant gift from her, he just wants to continue their relationship, and he'll be fine with whatever gift she can pick out.
The thing I don't get: why this is apparently not occurring to the girlfriend. Or maybe she just likes the idea of starting a conversation on the radio that's all about her. That would also be something I don't get, but sadly, I recognize the motive.
