Your significant other, your boo-boo, sugarbear, bun-bun, snuggums buys you a gift. (Notice I didn’t say f*ck buddy because if your f*ck buddy buys you a gift either (a) you were just THAT good last night or (b) they want to be more than a piece of skin for occasional tapping).

Anyway the gift becomes damaged or lost. You go to the store where it was purchased and they have the exact same item but they also have the item in another form (i.e. color) that you like more. Let’s consider all other things are equal like price.

Is it foul if you get the other item because you like it better even if they had the original?

Let me give some examples to put it in perspective.

Ladies, you’ve always wanted a marquis cut diamond but your man shows up with a princess cut diamond. Somehow it gets damaged and when you go to the store, they have both, the princess and the marquis. What do you do and is it foul if you show up with the princess cut?

What about if it was an item less expensive like shoes or a dress? Do you get the other item knowing that this person probably put some thought into the gift?

What if you were the person that gave the gift? Would your answer change? Would you feel slighted?

Holla at me….
