I was so over the moon when my boyfriend bought me a fake bag.​ He knows I love designer handbags and has been meaning to surprise me with one for a while now.​ I couldn’t believe how he pulled it off!

I mean, who knew where to find such high-quality replicas? The attention to detail was spot-on.​ I almost had to do a double-take to be sure it wasn’t a real Louis Vuitton or something.​ Even shedding a few tears of joy when I saw it, wasn’t enough to express my gratitude.​

However, at the same time, I was really surprised.​ I mean, it’s one thing to buy a cheap knock-off.​ It’s another thing to ask someone to scam the real store.​ I could feel myself being a bit conflicted with love and guilt.​

Why was I feeling so much guilt? Well, my boyfriend went above and beyond to get me what I wanted.​ I can’t help but feel guilty because I knew deep down it was wrong to accept such a gift.​

I tried to brush it off, thinking that it didn’t matter, as long as I had the bag.​ It was so beautiful and perfect, that I hardly cared.​ But I could tell in the back of my mind that this was wrong.​

And then it hit me like a ton of bricks.​ I was being selfish and irresponsible, enjoying the gift, but not thinking about the consequences.​ Not only could I be punished for having a fake bag, but I would never forgive myself if I put my boyfriend in jeopardy, too.​

I thanked him for his thoughtfulness and love, but I knew I couldn’t keep the bag.​ After all, I need to be responsible and not do anything that could put us at risk.​

I was so sad to give it away, but it was the right thing to do.​ I knew he understood how difficult it was to give it up and that made it a bit easier.​ We hugged, and I let him know that everything would be alright.​

It was really hard to readjust my mindset after that.​ I had to learn that it’s not okay to be careless and do whatever I wanted, even if it seemed like a good idea.​ There’s always consequences, and I have to be aware of them if I want to stay out of trouble.​

This experience taught me so much about being responsible and making decisions that will have a positive impact on my life.​ I learned to be more careful and really think about the choices I make every day.​

Even though we had a bit of a scare, I was still glad that he got me the bag.​ It showed me how far he was willing to go to show me his love.​ I couldn’t help but be slightly thankful for that, even if it was a fake handbag.​
