Why you should not let your boyfriend buy you a puppy.

One of the things I like most about being unattached is not receiving jewelry as a gift.

That doesn't make me sound terribly gracious, I know. But you have to admit, there's absolutely nothing that compares to that sinking feeling you get when you realize that you have to find a way to make a gold unicorn necklace work with your wardrobe. You can't even work it into rotation. You gotta wear it every day, right there--over your heart.

The Ex-Boyfriend Jewelry site. You don't want it. He can't have it back.

By the way, I did date a man who wanted to buy me a new tires, and another who gifted me with socks because my feet were always cold. Lest you think I don't know a good thing when I see it.
