So let me start off by saying In no means am I a materialistic person at all. But my boyfriend and I have been together for three years now almost four and I’m 2 months away from having our baby. And I know a lot of this is hormones talking but still. My boyfriend has never bought me gifts or anything like that for Christmas, my birthday, valantines day anything. He does pay all of our bills but we do usually have money left over like we are comfortable where we are at but we can’t really save a lot of money being that our rent went up and we’re about to have a baby so it kinda stresses us out but we always make our bills on time. I’ve never really let it get to me that he’s not a hey I got you this kind of person but with valantines day coming up and my birthday being two weeks away and knowing there’s gonna be no like hey look what I did for you is really making me upset. I just feel like all the time all I see is people showing off even just a small things of little flowers that their significant others got them on any given day is a little stab to the chest. Ive watched my parents my whole life celebrating everything through these gifts of appreciation and love or even just acknowledgement saying hey there’s nothing special just here’s some flowers. And I don’t know if his were like that or not but I mean I just wanna feel like I’m appreciated and noticed and deserving of these things. But I dont even get like a note or something I just want that for once and I don’t know how to say it without feeling like I’m saying hey go buy me something.
