My husband is a very generous man. He offten buys thing for me like e.g. jewely and also invites me on dates and so on. He is also very romantic. He is a doctor in residency currently. We’ve been together for 2.5 years now.
I work as an engineer.
I earn much more than him but I don’t know why I always felt this way.
Everytime someone bought something for me, I felt guilty. Like they had to sacrifice something for me.
When my husband buys me something I have the feeling like he had to give a piece of himself for me. It is like he had to sacrifice himself for me, and put himself on a bad state.
This is not only about my husband but also other familly members. For example when my sister that doesn’t work buys me something. Or the other sister that works but earns less than me buys something. Or if my parents that are in pension buy me something.
I don’t know why I have this feeling. For me it is better if they would just bake me a cake or something simple than something expensive.
I don’t know if it is just me, or are there also people that feel the same.
I don’t know from where this feeling comes!
