This.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but he has shown you he has zero respect for what you've been telling him.  And when you try to hold firm on how you feel, he calls you rude instead accepting any wrongdoing on his part.   You need to sit down and take a hard look at your relationship before you buy a house together.   [/quote]

This. People absolutely do use gift giving to exercise their crazy. If you set boundaries and he does not respect them, consider it a MAJOR red flag. It's a great area for disturbed people to be manipulative because we are supposed to be grateful and say thank you-right? Like when Qatar gave Trump that plane-it's just a giiiift. how generous, right?! There's a reason every day government employees and teachers aren't supposed to accept gifts worth more than small amount-because gifts are used to manipulate and control by some people.

It is not generous to spend a small fortune on something somebody doesn't want. if he doesn't give you a gift receipt that is concerning-especially if he is just assuming he is the best gift giver ever.

Some will come on here and say OMG it's so jaded, just have manners, but I have the crazy gifters in my family and those people are absolutely crazy and manipulative in general. Gifts are their love language because of the fun they have playing their games with them. Please tell me his gifts at least don't come with invisible strings that eventually get pulled. [/quote]
