Am I wrong for getting mad at this?
I am a stay at home mom, my memory has been depleting over the past few years due to unmedicated epilepsy (now controlled) so I decide to try out the Luminosity.com thing so I can help my memory because it's getting extremely bad (to the point where I don't even remember the subject I was JUST talking about or what I said the sentence before). I get rid of my Ancestory account so that I won't overdo what we can afford. My boyfriend goes to work and I stay home, my car is broken down and I'm waiting for my disability hearing (which takes forever). A few weeks ago I got my boyfriend all seven seasons of Star Trek Voyager, because I know he loves it, and you can't find it anywhere. He already saw it and he was 'thrilled', he didn't really show it as much as I would have liked though but I could tell he was happy. He said, "I'm going to get you a gift" I said as long as you just don't pay more than what I spent on you and I'm cool with that" (it was around 170$ I spent)
He came home and I informed him that I closed my ancestory account and wanted the lumosity account instead because it would benefit me more and it was cheaper. He said, "yeah sure, sounds great go ahead and get it" so I join it, pay for a years worth (which is only around 60$ a year) and after I finish doing that off my own card he says..."There you go that's your gift from me". The thing is...that wasn't a gift, I traded that website for another, cheaper one. He didn't put any effort into thinking about it, didn't put his 'heart' into it he just...claimed something that I bought as a gift from him. I bought it for myself on terms that it would medically help me.
Sure, it's technically his money, but the only reason I'm not working is
1.we have a 13month old
2.I have severe memory problems
3. I have BAD migraines
4. I've already TRIED with no success
5. I have a disability claim to where I'm not ALLOWED to work until it's through.
It's not the first time he's done it either, that's the thing that gets to me.

Well you chose him, he is what you believe to be your equal, soul mate and partner for life, so you just learn to live with his personality. Or return Star Trek, and by something worth 60 bucks. See what the smart a** says then.

Wow, So this is where my taxes are going.
I can't imagine someone telling me that I cannot work or it might look like I am not really disabled after all.
Are you kidding us??

well, if he is helping you out, I wouldn't be upset if he can't think of what to buy you on his own.
