Does receiving big gifts come with expectations?

We at Briefly News asked relationship expert and psychologist Penny Holburn if there were any important things to consider before accepting a lavish gift like a car from a partner in a relationship. The expert said:

"Yes, I would consider a few things. Firstly how wealthy is the man?  For some men buying a woman a car is easy because they are very rich.  For a lot of others, this could be a significant spend and impact their finances. If this is the case then you need to wonder why proving his love is so important that he is willing to get into financial problems.

The girlfriend may love the gift, but it suggests he is possibly not good at managing finances. If this is someone who is very wealthy and who frequently gives people large gifts and the girlfriend values gifts, then enjoy it. 

But bear in mind that we all have some concept of fair exchange and this gift may imply the expectation of a lot from the girlfriend in terms of meeting his needs."

We further asked Penny how receiving such a big gift like a car affects a relationship. She said:

"It changes the expectations in a relationship if in the past gifts have not been this considerable. If the couple are wealthy and used to giving expensive gifts it may not change the relationship at all.

If not then it can signify that the relationship is at a deeper level and more serious.  It also puts some pressure on both partners to give big and expensive gifts in the future unless this is clearly understood as a once-off big gift."

The team asked the relationship expert what a big gift like a car says about the giver's intentions, and how should the receiver interpret it. The expert said:

"There is no one answer to what it means. Maybe the girlfriend was really struggling without a car and this is going to help her a lot in life.  Then that is quite thoughtful and appropriate. It may be the guy is wealthy and wants to show off. It may be the guy wants to "buy" the woman and so in turn expect lots of favours for his great gift.

In general, if you are serious about this guy, you need to look at what most likely are his intentions with such a gift.  You need to interpret his gift in the context of your relationship and both of your current circumstances.  If he is genuine with his gift and it doesn't come with a whole lot of favours expected from him, then enjoy the gift.
