Recently my boyfriend is showing so much care and he is doing everything that i like, but i always feel like i want more :( soon he’s traveling for tourism with his friends, but i’m really concerned about him forgetting to bring me any presents with him when he comes back! What if he didn’t bring me anything? I’m really concerned that i can’t focus and i’m always thinking about it which is making me upset!

You seem to be very lucky, try not to worry if He will bring you presents that is something I would not bother about.

The present is His return.

I know i’m worrying way too much but i can’t help it. If he didn’t get me anything with him, would he be inconsiderate or he didn’t remember me throughout his trip?

Sad to say I do not know your person, I did used to get presents one was a compass that I still have, sad to say I was not expecting anything I had returned from my holiday before she went away with family. I however bought her a bottle of white rum on her birthday. The relationship did not last so presents I would rather get the person back with the same feelings as before. The gift in a way is your boyfriend

You sound selfish and immature, need to grow up and not be so self centered.....

How is that?

Seriously ??

Is this your only concern ??

Boyfriend is showing you a great deal of care and you still need more? More of what exactly?

Id hate to be your boyfriend if he comes back without a gift. 😬

In Middle Eastern tradition a trinket or a gift is appreciation also being kind and welcoming is appreciation but a gift could mean many things like eating dinner with friends Or money or spending time with loved ones a gift doesn’t have to be a trinket or something like that it can be anything

🤔

True love is in each other and not in material things.

That’s honestly super selfish of you and it sounds like you aren’t mature enough to be in a relationship with someone who seems to be a good guy 🤷🏼‍♀️

Guys i needed your honest opinion to let me see things from a different perspective. Thank you so much. But isn’t a gift a way of appreciation or consideration?

in reply to Thealchemist99

We've given you our honest opinion, hon. The way you wrote this post makes you sound unbelievably selfish and like you feel entitled to receive gifts. Read your own post. Can you see why we would come to this conclusion?

How old are you please?

I would expect a full cooked breakfast every morning from you,my shirt and trousers neatly ironed, and my shoes polished, and a evening meal waiting when I get back from work! Time for a reality check my dear,sounds like you are already getting treated like a 'princess' be grateful for small mercies, let's hope he comes back from his trip,otherwise you could be in for a shock,sounds like you have a lot of growing up to be done,your relationship sounds fine,don't rock the boat ,or look a 'gift' horse in the mouth.

What really is bothering me is that people in my society put high standards as if my bf didn’t bring me presents often then he is not giving or considerate or even generous. I want to meet my mother’s expectations that’s all. What should i do? It’s really concerning me

in reply to Thealchemist99

Where are you from? I'm wondering if this is some kind of cultural thing.

Is this for real ?im not being awful but your have a loving boyfriend and your talking about him bringing gifts Maybe it's just me I prefer giving than receiving. I am a mother I have a great husband but there comes a time when gifts are few and far between and as you get older you may realise their is more to life than your partner bringing you something back from holiday I think it's very expectant of you and it should only come from the heart if he wants to get you one he will your post also comes off as demanding and selfish you say it yourself he is giving you everything but you want more what are you giving in this relationship to want so much I guess you are the perfect woman get up get dressed make your self look nice cook clean Go to work and so forth.you have also mentioned him having friends and going out in a previous post well I'm pretty sure his friends probably came before you did all in all this relationship does not sound correct you mention him not taking you out But spending lots of time with friends and things is it even a serious relationship
