For people who love giving gifts, birthdays, not to mentionChristmasand similar occasions, are something they look forward to with joy – they get to watch their loved one’s face light up with joy after unpacking their present!
While that sounds like the perfect scenario, it’s not a universal one, as a) not everyone is equally excited about having to figure out what the best gift for someone is, b) even when you think it’s an excellent gift, the person on the receiving end might not. That’s why it’s absolutely crucial to think about the specific person when getting them a gift, as what works for some might fail completely given to others.

The OP’s gift didn’t fall into the category of things she would love to get, but her boyfriend wouldn’t; they have previously discussed the lack of artwork in her partner’s home, and she took notice. In this aspect, her gift was well-thought out and personal – two things that a good gift should be. However, what she didn’t know was what kind of artwork her boyfriend would like; or more importantly, what kind he wouldn’t.
Many people didn’t think the boyfriend was a jerk for refusing to hang up the painting
Others, however, thought he was in the wrong in the situation
