It is not a friend’s job to placate a friend’s partner’s ego and insecurity. If the friend were upset, that would be a problem. If the friend didn’t want the gift, they could decline or sell it.
But most of these comments are ignoring Camilla in this to focus on her husband (or even OP’s partner, who was fine with the plan, which indicates their relationship isn’t really that suspicious or the gf would also be jealous/bothered). This thread would be so very different if the gender dynamics were different or if OP was Camilla’s bio brother.
If a friend got me an outlandish gift as a ‘thank you’ and my partner was upset by it, it would say much more negative things about the partner than the friend – especially if it was something I needed but wasn’t attainable.
Then, what should i do about it? ?
ALL OF THIS.
