Father declines to buy Christmas gift for daughter's boyfriend after two years of dating

A father has decided not to buy a Christmas gift for his daughter's boyfriend, who has been in a relationship with her for two years. He believes the boyfriend is not part of the family and feels pressured by his wife to include him in gift-giving. The father expressed his views on Reddit, stating that he does not consider the boyfriend's position as permanent enough to warrant a gift. He mentioned that his opinion would change if the couple were to marry. Reactions to his post were mixed. Some commenters felt the boyfriend deserved a small acknowledgment, while others supported the father's stance, arguing that he should not be expected to buy gifts for someone he does not have a close relationship with.
