Long story short, my boyfriend visited his home country for the holidays and I asked him to get me some product because it is not available where we both live and it’s hard/expensive to acquire. Thus, I told him to get it from his home country, thinking that since the product there is more available, it will be cheaper. Turns out it wasn’t. It was about 145 dollars, which is actually a lot more expensive than buying it here.
So my boyfriend decided to get anyway without telling me the price even though I asked. He knew I would say no. Then on his way back, I was causally texting him and asked about the price and that’s when he told me. I was so annoyed and mad at him for not telling me the price beforehand as he was on the phone with me while buying it. He offered to just pay for it, but I felt bad, especially coz he is still a student and I am already working. And now I realized it’s not even the product I wanted so it’s an unnecessary money loss for me. If he had told me the price, I would have immediately disagreed and he knew that I would hence why he bought it without telling me the price.
I paid the amount but I let him know that I am pretty upset and I still am to be honest. So am I the asshole for being upset?
