Boyfriend demands his girlfriend return the car her friend, Luke, bought her as a birthday gift, claiming it is inappropriate to accept such an expensive gift from another man: 'Most of our friends are on his side'

Potential boundary crossing incoming: Okay, let us get this straight, You're lifelong guy best friend just bought you a car worth thousands of dollars for your birthday, and you actually believe it's just a platonic relationship from his side. Babe, Romeo wouldn't have even bought Juliet a Volkswagen, whether he could've afforded it or not…No wonder your boyfriend is fuming. We think anyone would be…

Maybe we need to switch the narrative a bit, imagine your boyfriend's girl bestie buying him a Rolex for Christmas, I don't think your scrapbook would be looking too great next to that green box…Just because he's feeling vulnerable doesn't necessarily mean he's insecure. He can be happy for his girlfriend, but still feel like a line was very much crossed for her guy friend's side. So is it so wrong of him to ask her to return the car? Because it seems as though her only solution is to either turn the car and keep her boyfriend, or return her boyfriend and keep the car

We’re not quite sure the correct thing to do here. Maybe he should just bite his tongue and take the free ride…but would that sit right with him? Her family thinks he’s being ridiculous and that she should absolutely keep the car. They’ve known her friend since he was a kid, and truly believe it was a sincere gesture of friendship…We’d love to know where they purchased that pairs of rose colored glasses because we could use a little more delusion in our lives!
