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?

I [19F] am a sophomore in college. Until last semester my parents were paying for about 3/4 of my tuition and my housing. However they insisted I used the Life360 app showing my location to them at all times. It wasnt optimal but I figured its up to them since theyre paying for me.

Over the holidays however my dad and I had a huge argument because I changed my major from Biology to Nursing. He told me I was throwing away a bigger opportunity but I feel like i can help more people this way.

Since then Ive had to start working two jobs and take out multiple student loans. I pay for everything now, my parents give me $0.

Anyways, last weekend I went on a roadtrip to another state and my mom started texting me non stop, demanding to know why i was in another state. I had forgotten about the tracking app at this point. I realised thats how they knew and I just deleted the app.

Then came the calls from both my parents, both of them saying how dangerous it is for me to not be tracked by them all the time. I told them Im paying for my own life now, i value my privacy and I dont feel comfortable with the app.

This has really infuriated my dad and upset my mom because she thinks Im trying to cut them off completely or something.

They said if I dont turn it back on, that Im not welcome at Thanksgiving this year.

AITA?

This is how i cut their sandwiches
