sshame:
I dislike how girls give guys all these expectations as a boyfriend like to buy the best valentine’s day gift or to always text back or to pay for expensive dinners i mean seriously if youre my boyfriend we can just makeout and eat cheap takeaway i dont care
Just my two cents:
If you expect things from you boyfriend (or girlfriend) that you are unable or unwilling to give, you aren’t neglected, you’re a self entitled ass.
- It’s okay if you think Valentine’s Day is a big deal, and you expect your SO to make a big deal of it, but you sure as hell better find out what they consider to be a big deal and go out of your way to make them feel special.
- Having attention paid to you is important, but do you really want someone with such mindless, slavering, devotion that they drop everything at a word from you? Get a fucking dog. Problem solved. Dogs are not humans. You are not royalty. Significant others are not your serfs. Get over yourself.
- Expensive dinners are lovely, sometimes. So how much are you going to spend to spoil your significant other? Not saying it has to be a constant cycle of making things equal, but if you like fancy dinners alone with him, and he likes camping trips out in the woods, guess which pretty, pretty princess had better be EXCITED AS HELL to get grubby and learn how to set up a tent? Yep.
Bottom line, quite propagating this social obligation of what you deserve as the boyfriend or girlfriend. Find what makes you happy and understand that the person you’re with is going to want different things, or the same things, and deserves them just as much as you do.
TL;DR: That’s not a pea under your mattress, that’s your inflated ego princess.
