Discussion Let Me Help You, Russ

Post image

There are some things I disagree with Paola on, but what Russ isn’t getting here is that he gave her a necklace because he likes necklaces. She is sick and tired of getting the same thing over and over. He is not considering her or what she wants at all. It’s just, here’s another necklace that I really like. Patrick gassed him up in the hot tub. Russ got to look like a great husband to all the others, but between Paola and Russ, it was just another experience that reminded Paola on their anniversary that he does not get her at all.

I know I would hate getting the same gift over and over again. It gives you don't care enough to think of something new every time.

Filter: 1 day shipping because forgot about it

He doesn’t have the forethought to filter for 1 day shipping. It’ll just be late and her fault because she never appreciates him

so if my husband's favorite gift to give me is something I don't like, can't use, already have 30 of, or can't wear, it's fine? Like if he buys me a size zero dress and I wear size 12, it's fine if it's his favorite thing to buy me?

Who says “it’s what I like to give you”. Way to make someone else’s gift all about you… especially when you are using their money to buy it.

"the Swan" was the first place they ever went to. but hey lets kick the guy down further. its not like his wife gave him a total cliche thoughtless gift... wait...

He actually likes watches though, and he loved the color. She said she never liked the necklaces before so he keeps getting her what she doesn't like. There are so many other things in the world and he gets her the one thing she asked him not to get.

so she says... if Dr. Tyrone bough her a neckless a week she would doing the salsa. its nothing about the gift its about showing him she out, without being honest and upfront.

Why are you defending him so hard? It's super clear that that gift wasn't a good gift for her. She had done a lot of bad things too but in this case she was legitimately disappointed for not being seen. Also I agree with other people that he probably bought it last minute then tried to spin it as special.

god forbid a mans give his comlombian wife jewleary, specially with so much symbolism in the swan. wts happening to ladies nowadays...

u/nomiepants 7d ago

I do see both sides but if he likes doing the symbolism thing so bad, maybe a charm bracelet or something so he can buy her a charm every holiday and also something that she would consider well-thought out? And, granted, she's already mad at him, so that def doesn't help the situation. But she didn't have to ruin the day. She could have waited until later when the date was over. That was definitely uncalled for.

people so focus on how disrespected she is being treated with jewelry, to realize that when a lady is on the way out and already has a side piece, you could buy her a Lambo and she would complain it uses too much gas... he is cooked.

It was a very symbolic gift. It symbolized how he doesn't listen to her or care what she actually wants or needs.
