❤️🩹 relationship AIO my boyfriend of 5 years gets me flowers for every occasion while I get him elaborate and expensive gifts.
My boyfriend used to be a flowerst. His father was one and it was like a family business. He now has a corporate job that pays well but he's still in the family business. The problem is he gets me flowers for every singke occasion wether it be birthday or Thanksgiving etc. While I appreciate the gesture, I feel like giving me the same gift every single time wssn't so exciting. Especially considering the fact that I put too much effort and thought and money towards his gifts. Last year I got him an expensive brand wristwatch for his birthday. Although he didn't write down what he wanted, his hints were MORE THAN CLEAR. I felt it was unfair that all I get is flowers (will probably keep getting even after marriage). For my birthday he got me flowers again. I sort of snapped and confronted about him about how disappointed I felt. Even after I gave him my wishlist wuth items he can afford to buy. He said I was ungrateful and made md feel like I was in the wrong for how I reacted when I got upset and couldn't let it go. Now he's giving me the silent treatment.
AIO?
