She shared how she needed to get everything off her chest without "pushback" from friends and family who viewed the gift as a romantic gesture. "My birthday is coming up in a few months and three days ago I found out what my birthday present was, which are tickets to a cruise," she said. "His sister spilled the news thinking I would be excited and I'm not.
We live together and I found the gift and know it's for me. I sound so ungrateful but I'm not," she continued. "This gift just proves to me that things will never change.
" Aside from suffering from severe seasickness, she had already shared with her beau how she planned to go to a Renfaire festival on her birthday. "I have purchased tickets and am saving month to month so that I have spending money without it affecting finances at home," she said. "Why would he book tickets the same time as the time I took off to go to this festival? Also, this cruise wasn't cheap at all, so it's basically wasted money because I'm not going," she said.
