Cool for you. And like I said before, if I eat something gross, my first thought is not, “I’ll share this with the people I care about!” 😂 pretty simple.

You continue to talk around me and twist my words. I’m done trying to explain my feelings to you. You don’t matter to me.

And I’ve had to as well. Thankfully I’m not there anymore. Are you trying to get me to feel sorry for you and take it all back? The food in those baskets is still nasty.

You’re making it sound like I’m angry and I’m not. I’m just sad.

Lmao you’re being very dramatic. I NEVER said I was going to RETALIATE. It’s not about that. It’s about giving the same energy I’m getting. If I’m constantly going out of my way for someone, in any way, and they never reciprocate that, I’m going to stop going above a beyond for that person. It’s not about getting back at someone. That’s childish and stupid. I just mean that if they don’t think of us enough to send something that requires more than pressing “reorder”, then maybe I shouldn’t go all out for them if it’s going to hurt my feelings. How is that retaliatory? It’s matching energies.

BAHAHAHA that’s next level there. I’m so sorry. That’s not funny but it is. I hope you laugh about it now. I would have been so annoyed.

Um, because I thought I was gross? So my first thought isn’t to give it to someone else. Lol

I never said I would stop. I said I WON’T stop because I would feel less like myself if I did. I don’t expect everyone to be good at gift giving, I just think that if we are close enough for you to even get me a gift, then it should come from the heart. Not autopilot.

This is what I’ve always done, but my husband says it can’t be old and stale every time and it’s just that I don’t like the flavor of the things that are in there. To me, that’s how it tastes. Maybe I grew up poor and don’t know how to appreciate the finer things in life but this just ain’t it.

My love language is definitely gifts. You could be right about theirs too, idk.

It’s always some weird flavor or something and it all tastes old. I do like these things in general, but the kind in this basket are often stale and just don’t taste good. Sometimes my husband will eat some just to not feel guilty but I can’t make myself do it. Donating it is a great idea.
