"I can not wear this since it is messed up in some areas"

On the day of our birthday, we look forward to receiving praise, gifts, and special attention from others, particularly from our romantic partners. Whether you've been dating your partner for two months or two years, you can still find yourself worrying about coming up with the ideal gift suggestions for them that demonstrate your understanding of all the unique characteristics that make them, well, them.

Are there any gifts left to buy after numerous Valentine's Days, birthdays, and relationship anniversaries? You might go in a few different directions to make it a runaway hit.

You may locate a considerate gift, such as a brand-new pair of trendy sneakers or a plush, comfortable sweater, that he had mentioned wanting months earlier but had never gotten around to purchasing for himself. You may purchase something unpretentious yet practical, such as a really fancy box of beef jerky.

Or you could spend lavishly and get him something he didn't even know he needed until he opened your birthday present. But the OP of today's story expected jewelry as her husband hinted about it to her.

But on her birthday, the jewelry she received wiped the smile off her face as she didn't fail to show her disappointment. Read the entire story as you keep scrolling down below.

And the story kicks but not without the title first

The OP's husband made a piece of jewelry for her as a birthday present and it was all jagged

The Reddit story generated hundreds of comments and we've gathered up a bunch of the most upvoted ones for you to enjoy below

When you give someone something that's not functional, then how do you expect them to wear it?

OP's husband knew he was actually doing something she wouldn't like

There's grace in gift receiving but there's also grace in gift giving

Yes, it's the thoughts that count but the husband's effort wasn't good enough

People don't generally want to get hurt while using their gifts

According to Redditor Satannista:

NTA. Fundamentally he gifted you something you did not want and had none of your wants or needs considered in it. It's irrelevant how poorly made it was, when from the start it was gift that did not center YOU, the recipient, at the core of the thoughtfulness or specifics of the gift. If your husband was a professional jewelry maker or maybe bought from an independent artist it may be different, but it sounds like he gifted you the useless husband version of when your kids make you macaroni necklaces at school (when the point of that craft is hand-eye dexterity learning, not making you an actual wearable piece).

This Redditor is assuming they are not particularly broke as a couple right now

It's so broken it will actively hurt the OP to wear it

He has neither trained for it Joe practiced to a point of competence

Slapping something together does not make it worth it

Seriously, if a gift causes injury, then it's not a good gift. Many redditors said they would have been on the partner's side if the jewelry wouldn't actually hurt to wear, so they advised him to learn to smooth and polish.
