"Real" jade bracelet

On my spouse's visit back to Taiwan in November 2011 when he asked if I had any special gift that he can bring back, I requested a traditional green jade bangle-style bracelet to accompany a jade necklace that was given to me in high school by my mother.  What I received on my spouse's arrival on Thanksgiving 2011 was this ...
















Yes, I was majorly disappointed but what I deeply resented more was my spouse's insistence that the bracelet was genuine jade [and in the process treating me like a fool from some village that he himself probably grew up in].  So investigate I did, just to see how far and deep he'd be willing to go to maintain his lies [and face] ...



















So, not only did my spouse ignore and dishonor my request for a bangle-style jade bracelet but he chose to be persuaded by other people's opinions as to what I would have wanted and wasted our money on a "gift" for which he thought I should feel grateful.  Sorry but this line of "reasoning" made little logical sense to me.  Notice, also, how my spouse exaggerated in equating the time period from November 2011 to January 2012 to that of "over the year."
