    Gifts should be about love.

    My husband buys me jewelery frequently. I love opals, and what he gets for me are examples of beautiful vintage opal jewelery. I wear something from him every day, and when I'm having a difficult moment I look at them and think of him.

    I hate it when thinks like this are given to cover up being asshole. Things this beautiful should be about love.

    I'd be pretty pissed if my husband cheated on me, but even more pissed if he decided to commemorate it by buying a necklace made out of African blood diamonds. It's the relationship equivalent of hitting into a double play.

    If I were cheated on I'd like to THINK I'd just dump the losers ass and walk away but I fear there would be some destruction of property involved. My brother once offered to slash an ex-boys tires.

    @bluebears: I have a father like that who said he'd beat the shit out of my now husband after we broke up (pre-marriage) for about three months.

    It has taken Dad six years to say hello to my husband. He's got a looooong memory, especially when it comes to his daughters.

    I read the piece. He ran two nightclubs, one of which was called "The Mayfair." I remember reading a bio of Audrey Hepburn years ago, and she went there with her first fiance (when she was just starting out, dancing as a chorus girl on the West End, prior to getting discovered in "Roman Holiday"), so I think it must have been sort of posh.

    Trivia for today, etc...

    It reminds me of the Arrested Development episode where Lindsay is upset that she can't have her mom's diamond elephant pin, because she was the one who cleared her throat and pointed at the laundry room where George Sr. was with the... au pair, was it?

    If my dad was a run around and bought my mom something shiny after each time, I probably wouldn't want to keep it either. Like "Oh, here's a big glittery reminder of your parent's marital difficulties. Enjoy!" No thank you.

    @RustyHeadedGirl is back in Miami!: Exactly-- a necklace that basically amounts to a symbol of your father's infidelity doesn't exactly equate to, say, your grandmother's engagement ring. Enjoy the cash instead. Hell, maybe it will buy something that can become a genuine family heirloom.

    Were I cheated on, I think I'd prefer to shove a few lumps of coal up his ass and then just wait and see what happens.

    Well, in the event that the marriage is one-sided in terms of breadwinners, I'd consider these gifts a good downpayment on the non-breadwinner's life post-divorce. Divorce ain't cheap and women typically experience lower living standards afterwards.
