You should probably dial back on the gifts you're giving her. She may want a laptop but if she's not going to put in the effort to make something inexpensive for you then you should not overexert yourself on the amount you spend on her.

It's not a revenge thing but it will make you feel badly if every time you go above and beyond for her and get nothing in return.

Welcome to the board joeboeing777,


Giving a gifts should bring both the giver and the receiver joy, in my opinion.

"She buys presents for everyone else."


Then why don't you ask her, Joe?
