So my Boyfriend Got me a Comforter for my Birthday After 1 Year of Dating...

That is so cool OP! I also turned 23 after I was 22!!! Wow! We have a lot in common!

I want to slit my wrists now
I cannot compute..must kill myself...

Patience! ...It's just a year. Maybe he'll massage your tits with fancy oils later.

maybe this gift is a clue to you that something is not right in the relationship.

Test this out and don't waste more time with him if he is not going to deepen things in the future if that is what you desire. Don't be a woman of convenience.

I was in love with a man for 4 1/2 years and he viewed the relationship as great but just convenient really because he did NOT truly love me. He denied this a few times because he knew I would break it off and he didn't have many prospects for a new girlfriend. I knew deep down the love was one sided but didn't want to accept it and went into denial.

Essentially, he was happy to not be alone and I was good enough to pass the time. He used me and I finally put an end to it. Don't waste almost 5 years of your life with a man like that. Find out how deep his feelings for you are now. A year is enough time to really find out. By then the excitement of a new love has worn off. If he would jump ship if Miss younger and sexier than you came by and gave him the time of day, he doesn't love you; just using you.

blah this threads turned to shit because i made a stupid grammar error and people didnt read the whole thread.

thanks for your insight

It´s a good present. And I´m a girl.

Nobody reads the whole thread when it's this long. It's time to start posting smilies.

Here here...now now OP...you're fine. A little fun now and then is good. Your just getting a little ribbing.

Sorry op, but this whole thread is weird. All I can picture is some emotionally damaged guy surfing porn alone in his bedroom while you sit in the far-away garage lonely and playing him some music he doesn't care about on the keyboard you mentioned, all the meanwhile the blanket sits all by itself somewhere in between. The picture that has been painted is so far from normal and it is why you are getting the responses you are. Best bet is to stop responding and work on the relationship, you aren't going to get anything more to help you here.

The only thing more intimate than a comforter would have been lingerie.

I think it's a sweet gift.

lol

A comforter is a shit gift. He grabbed the nearest thing to him at the 7-11 and that is it...

+111

i dont want diamonds, i want love. ive recently truly found it in myself for the first time in my life and id like to share it with someone else who can reciprocate just as well. its all about balance imo

intimacy= into me see

thanks for ur post <3
id have a different perspective if the relationship in itself wasn't the actual issue

Stop being an entitled bitch and be grateful that you got a gift. In my opinion, he should dump your ass. How about you tell us the kind of gifts you get him for his birthday.

He's a dude. You're lucky he remembered your birthday at all. He probably had no effing clue what you might find "acceptable" as a birthday gift and did his best with the time and money he had.

But you should totally seek approval for your distaste in his gift choice on an Internet forum full of fucking crazy people. Really.

his birthdays next month around our anniversary and ill be getting him several things for his birthday. ill probably spend around 200 dollars, HOWEVER people arent getting that i could care less about dollar value. i wanted something personal and special...it just made me feel very generic.

lol.

this thread needs a summary bad

unfortunately its just turning into a bunch of nit picky bullshit to where i dont think it even warrants a summary.

thanks for the red karma from the dumbasses that wouldnt even take the time to skim through the thread.

Ribbed condoms and a french tickler is more like a normal year birthday present.

Pack of smokes for post coital activities.

After one year with my gf I bought her a white gold heart necklace.

Every guy is different. But for real what's with these women wanting materialistic things to show them that they are cared about and loved? How about the fact that he's with you? I mean seriously women these days are just crazy and selfish. Care about nothing but being pleased.

This is so typical of life in general...one expresses their true feelings and everyone else has to turn it into something so ugly! "SIGH"

Fortunately for you OP there are a few who did give words of wisdom, I would only take those into consideration!

I think that having expectations of gifts is kind've low, especially if you actually "love him."

My dad on their 25th wedding annivesary bought my mom an iron. Yes an iron she was so disappointed, he could have at least bought her the ironing board too. When asked about this he said he was saving it for her birthday. They are now divorced.

OP...he's a practical guy. And I know how you feel. Girls expect to have fun girly things. But I say enjoy him and the thought anyway. I had an x give me a down comforter 35 years ago...I still have it even though he's long gone. The important thing is...you have love in a partner who remembered you on "your day" and it's better than spending your birthday alone at work and no one remembers. You tend to take those things for granted sometimes. You're a lucky girl.
