My husband\u2019s ex-wife, Lisa, decided she wanted to be seen as the one behind the gift. She had only contributed a small amount, but at the party she claimed she had spent weeks choosing the car with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I let it go at first, but when she kept repeating the story, I finally spoke up.
