And I'm not talking about birthdays, christmas or valentines.
I mean never bought you a bunch of flowers when you've had a hard month at work; a book that you've been raving about for 3 weeks but never made it to the shop to buy; hell, a candy necklace just to say 'i love you'.
Well this is how i'm feeling at the moment. I know I shouldn't be watching other peoples relationships, but I can't help but feel as though he feels i'm not worth buying things for.
We've been together for 4 years and I've never once had a spontaneous gift from him. I've even asked him out right if he ever planned to take me shopping one day, just to treat me. His response was a flat 'no, you're an independent woman and you can take yourself shopping'.
I used to buy him things when we were first dating but as time went on, and I started to realise my generosity was never going to be recipricated, I stopped.
Should I be annoyed/upset or should I just accept him for who he is and stop wishing for someting more?
