Is it wrong to return a gift you received from your husband for Mother’s Day?
My husband bought me a beautiful diamond necklace for Mother’s Day. It’s so nice and so very thoughtful, but we really can’t afford it and I just don’t wear jewelry. I don’t want to upset him, but I want to return it so we can use the money (almost $400) to pay some bills instead. Would it be completely wrong to do that? If not, should I let him know before or after and how? Thanks for any thoughts!
First you need to share with him the importance of the gift and how much you appreciate it.
Then you need to come clean and say - "While I love the meaning behind this gift our love is more valuable and for the well being and financial security of our family, I think it is best to return the necklace; Do you agree?"
The key is for him to know - you love him above all and to you are doing this for the family and last have him be part of the decision.
If he is not aware of the current family finances, then maybe you need to share how the family is doing.
If this item was purchased on a credit card then it could end up costing you more than $400.
Good luck.

Thank him for the gift with some great sex then after tell him as much as you love it you think maybe the money would be better spent paying some bills so you two can breath easier

Thats a tricky situation.What ever you do make sure you tell your husband about it first because you do not want to hurt his feelings. And gifts are not to be returned BTW !

Have a discussion with your husband. maybe change this expensive gift with an inexpensive but also wonderful gift.

It’d be really rude. I gave my mom a lot of money for mother’s day once and she tried to give it back but I wouldn’t let her. It is kind of hurtful.
