So me(23m) and my gf(22f) have been dating for around 1.5 years. For a little background, both of us come from very diff background, she is more from a richer family and I am from a middle class family.
We both are very compatible in terms of everything except for expectations and reality. For example she expects me to do everything a pinterest or instagram boyfriend does. And tbh I do everything as far as I can, as far as my pocket allows. But I don't feel validated by her at all by this, and she doesn't seem satisfied by what I do for her.
Like once I got her flowers and the first thing she did after getting them was to tell me u got me wrong flowers, these are not what i want, it's quantity is less, it doesn't have fragrances etc etc. Whenever I bring anything for her, she in general tells me this is not good quality and she doesn't like this. There have been few instances like this. I brought it with all my love for her. I travel all the way from my house to her house every time, which is around 15-20 km and takes me around 1 to 1.5 hrs. Although she does acknowledge this.
Also we have very different views on finances. For her spending 500 rupees is not a big deal, but I have to check upon it, manage my budget and then decide whether we should spend it or not. Like not every time we meet we can go to an expensive cafe and spend thousands.
I feel trapped by these expectations and fulfilling them all the time.
