Read between the gchat IM's.

My pal has begun expressing some thoughts that perhaps her dating partner isn't heaving his fair share of costs with regard to outings, gifts, meals, etc. However, her expressed love and sympathetic emotions impede her ability to bring out of the passive shadows her concerns.

Exchange between pal and pal's partner regarding pal's parents buying her the B&N Nook for her upcoming birthday.

Pal: aw baby! you don't have to get me stuff like that, a card is all i want :)

Pal's Partner: haha .. okey

Now, pal's words to Kent.

Pal: WRONG.

BUY ME THINGS.

Kent: um then why did you say to him a card is enough?

Pal: ugh because im not supposed to say stuff like " well you missed out on that gift opportunity, but here's www.davidyurman.com"


This situation is similar to not registering for one's wedding. If you don't register, you'll end up with coasters showcasing your Chi Omega sorority sister's 2 and 4-yr old children in different idyllic poses. AKA? Trash.
