hi guys, my birthday is coming up in May as well as my nursing graduation. i am so proud of myself for graduating because it took a lot of hard work.
i wouldn’t call myself a “materialistic” person, i just like treating myself to nice things. obvi my love language is gift giving and i always buy my bf things for each occasion. even when vday, our anni, and his bday were all close, i bought separate gifts for each occasion (even tho i literally don’t work bc im in school).
anyway, my bf (who has a full time job) told me today that my birthday gift would be my graduation gift. i have a feeling that he got me these nike sneakers, which are nice, but i feel like i deserve more…again, i always get him things for each occasion. even for our anniversary, he tried buying me those sneakers but they got stolen, so i felt bad and told him he didn’t need to buy them again.
so now i have a feeling he rebought those sneakers for me for my bday + graduation. i just thought i deserved more idk…am i overreacting?? he’s buying me roses that have BSN on my grad day…but to me, that’s not even a gift, that’s kind of the bare minimum with flowers.
it’s just frustrating to me and i find it insulting that i’ve worked so hard and he decides to get 1 gift for both occasions. again, i don’t know what it’ll be. if it was one gift that was more expensive then that’s totally fine, but if it’s just those nike sneakers…yeah idk
