My [26M] gf [23F] instantly gave away an expensive and thoughtful gift I got her, I'm pissed and don't know how to address it

Girlfriend, I need to say some things, and you're probably not going to like what you are going to hear...but they still need to be said. I spent an incredible amount of time and energy tracking down and finding pieces of jewelry that matched the things that were stolen from you. I did this because I love you and wanted you to have those nice things again. I did it because you do so much for others, and you deserved it. So when you told me that you gave away the gift I gave you, less than a day later, it really threw me for a loop. I'm not mad, but I have never been more disappointed in you than I am right now.

Yes, I am glad that you were able to help out some girls that needed help. But that is not the point. I would have gladly given those girls some money if you would have simply asked. But for you to just give away a gift I gave you...something that meant a lot to me and I had hoped would mean a lot to you....well, I don't think I have the vocabulary necessary to tell you how extremely hurt I am right now.

It's not the monetary value either. I could care less about the money I spent. Its the fact that I spent so much time and effort and you just gave it away...without a second thought as to how it would make me feel. Like it meant absolutely nothing to you. Like I mean absolutely nothing to you.

This situation has made me take a step back from this relationship to really do some hard thinking. I love the fact that you are so generous, and put so many people before yourself. But you just put other people before the health and well being of this relationship. I'm not ok with that. You are the most important thing in my life, and its quite obvious that you do not feel the same way. And if there is no chance of me being the most important person in your life, then you need to tell me now. All I have ever wanted was for you to be happy. But if you want this relationship, if you want me...then you have to be all in. If you can't do that, we are just spinning our wheels.
