Either break up right now or buy something from a mid-tier jewellery store and see if she can handle.

You don't need the horse shit that is gonna come your way in 10 years time based on the Tiffany's thing.

Seconding the dead-seriousness here...get the hell rid of her for her B-Day. That's what's needed here. Consider it a present to your future self.

Now, though that's the only viable option I see here, if you're going to insist on being an idiot by not doing the smart thing and getting rid of her ass now, then take her on a nice date. That's it. Nothing more.

We sound like arse-holes but damn, all the men i know married to the "tiffany's only" types are a shadow of their former selves. Gutted.

Interesting perspective lol. I didn't really think much about it since she's done very well for herself financially and buys from there herself. I made it clear not to expect something from there and she seems cool with it..

She's a gym rat so I would say a pair of lulu yoga pants, but you'd have to be comfortable knowing what size she is. Better to buy them smaller than you think she is rather than larger, or else she'll think that you think she's fat.

You CANNOT win this battle. Too big and "you think i'm fat don't you!!" and too small you get "this is what you want, i'm too fat" ......

..... just go outside and mow the lawn.

That conversation is curious:

"Hey girl I've only known for 3 months, I know your birthday is coming and I'll get you a gift, mmkay; don't expect Tiffany's, mmmkay?"

"Yes baby, anything will do. I like you for you."

Get her a haircut

That's more than $100 budget. Easily. Especially if she's white.

And $1500 for some good weave if not although a friend/coworker of mine dropped some cash like that and then a piece fell out during a meeting

That's not true. He married you didn't he?

You hit it when you said "something we can do together" That will probably also get you doing something else together later. . .

Yes, indeed. I never shy away from sounding like an asshole when it comes to expressing my opinions\advice to others. I've seen more people who didn't heed my advice end up a shell of themselves (men and women) than not. I guess I just really like the "I told you so" position.

This proves nothing. Sooner or later (probably sooner than later), she won't be buying Tiffany's for herself...mark my words...you will. Yeah, I bet she seems "cool with it".

I think I'm his punishment.

Girlfriend of three months ain't getting no jewelry, that's for damn sure...

Agreed. That was the point I was trying to get across. You Finns might be slow, but you do get there.

Dude if you knew what a hell life here is now, you would just be nice. I'm googling debark operations for humans. Apparently I need myself a vet who isn't too picky about the breed of the animal, or a vet whom she has met.

I am running away tonight.

I must have read this 3 times and I still have no idea about this "debark" bit. I even tried to think what it was backwards "krabed" and still didn't come up with a clue.

Oh well, if you are running away, head south. I've always liked the Caribbean. Nicer there than up here. Love the crystal clear waters.

That being said, we have some pretty clear waters too in some places. Problem is, they are more likely than not to give you hypothermia if you stay in them too long.

Lol, no idea how its written, sorry. I mean the operation they do for dogs here to stop them being noisy. She does not shut up. At all. My head is killing me.

I'm not a beach person. I want to take the car and just pick a road. In silence.

Does she have a bark collar? If not, get one - expensive at probably $150, but set it to crispy critter and she'll get it after a few reminding shocks.

My SIL's dog got one of those collars for the same reason. Now he quietly growls, just low enough not to register on the collar so he doesn't get shocked. Much better.

Debark...That's a new one.

Lol, sorry too tired.

My sister-in-law is a noise machine. I've never known anyone talk so much with nothing to say. She needs to be silenced. No shock collar would work.

Why are you so certain? Have you tried it? My cousin (braintrust that he is) walked a dog across a electric dog fence while holding the shock portion of the dog's collar and can attest it is quite the shock.

I think it would work well on your sister in law. Please report your results.
