Are me and my girlfriend childish/acting like high schoolers?
Me and my gf are both 23.
We’re both still stuck in the early 2000’s and loveeee cheesy tropes like trading each other’s jackets because they smell like the other, burning CDs to give to the other, late afternoon dates at the park so we can go on the swings and yap, making each other bracelets or other crafts, etc. On work breaks I’m (badly) doodling her sooo much in a little journal because I miss her but she’s asleep (I’m night shift, she’s day shift. We both work in a hospital but I’m a nurse and she’s in pharmacy). We also have a doodle app that I’ll leave doodles on her phone screen.
Apparently she was at work one day and relationships got brought up so all of her coworkers were talking about stuff. She mentioned the jacket thing and the doodles & apparently one of her coworkers called us childish.
I’m just self conscious over it now and it hurt her feelings. Are we being childish?
