'My partner gave me cash instead of Christmas presents - I'm hurt he made no effort'

The woman said she felt as though she should be "grateful" for the cash as it means she can spend it however she pleases, but she found herself feeling "really hurt" that her partner - whom she has been with for eight years - hadn't made the effort to find something she would like to unwrap on Christmas Day.
