A woman, unhappy with her son’s partner’s previous gifts, felt hurt at a Christmas party where she was the only one without a present. When she confronted her son, she learned that her gift had been chosen and bought but was later returned for a refund. Here’s how she reacted.
On December 21, 2022, an anonymous male poster shared his story in the “True Off My Chest” subreddit. For the first two years of their three-year-long relationship, the man, aged 23, and his 24-year-old male partner spent Christmas at the latter’s family home.

Right from their initial meeting, he noticed a strained relationship with his partner’s mother. Despite their limited interaction, he hoped to mend things during the Christmas gatherings.
Wanting to make a good impression, the man picked out what he believed was a thoughtful gift for his partner’s mother: a minimalist necklace with green agate, a hue he thought was her favorite. She seemed pleased at first, but months later, he discovered she had given it away.
