I read "I bought months ago" and it made it even more wholesome and funny

I mean, it's your gf. Standard stuff tbh

A standard green flag, for sure.

Should be, and usually is, but if you've never been in a healthy relationship you may not expect it. Especially if you've been in an unhealthy relationship.

I remember my husband-then-boyfriend being super happy he could just ask me to do stuff and I'd do it. I mean, yeah, of course, that's how relationships work?

Took me a long time to figure out that for most of his previous relationship, that really wasn't so obvious.

That's pretty much my story as well. Early into the first healthy relationship I was in, my gf stopped by my work to drop me off a donut. Just happened to be shopping nearby and thought of me.

That shit was outright mindblowing to me at the time considering I had a negative sense of self worth. Guess it still is to an extent, but I don't get the overwhelming "oh God oh fuck I don't deserve this" feeling I used to.

How do you go from husband to boyfriend without breaking up?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Now husband, then boyfriend.

Ah right, the less common backward in time then.

It's not really standard. Lots of people are terrible at giving gifts.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I'm grateful for anything I get, but honestly this year all I could think in my head with every gift I received was "do you guys even know me?"

Get a gf in April

When people mention wanting something or if I get an idea for a gift in general, I write it down. Now I have plenty of ideas for all the people I usually give gifts. It has made giving good gifts a lot easier.
