last month it kinda hit me (24f) that the last time my boyfriend (27m) bought me flowers was last november when he got me a crotchet flower bouquet for my graduation. and since then its all i can think about, how i never actually received a bouquet from him this year.
we agreed at the beginning of our relationship that flowers were a waste since they wilt fast considering my country is quite humid all year round. we just celebrated our first year anniversary 2 months back. but i guess flowers are something that girls want but won’t ask their partners for, right?
he has been romantic to me before. the first time
he picked me up from the airport he got me flowers then. when he proposed to me he got me a really nice bouquet as well. but that’s kinda it. it’s been so long since then.
my boyfriend does spend his money elsewhere on me. not saying that he’s cheap bc of the flower situation. i’m grateful for everything he spends on me. he pays for most dates, gets me expensive gifts once in a while, and even brought me out on a nice vacation for our anniversary. all except flowers. i don’t expect grand bouquets or anything like that bc again, they barely last a couple days, but some days i’m just hoping to receive even a small bouquet of cheap supermarket flowers.
our relationship is great, and it makes no sense that i would even want to make a big deal about flowers to him. but honestly, it does feel like a big deal to me now that i haven’t gotten any flowers at all this year and i’m lowkey too embarrassed to bring this up to him.
TL;DR:
guys what are your thoughts about buying flowers for your partners and to the ladies, what do you think about my situation rn? is it fair that i’m getting upset over flowers? is it normal for your partners to rarely buy flowers?
