Im a queer woman in a relationship with another women, and I tend to get really excited for holidays and her birthday. I always try and get things in between. From Squishmallows big enough to be pillows, to her fav snacks.

Whenever I post online, I see a lot of men saying it’s going overboard to be doing it so often. Some have even said it’s a waste of money.

Which I never get. I think of my girlfriend where ever I go. Like when I travel for work, I’ll get her something that reminds me of her in a bigger city. So long as it’s in budget, I don’t see why not. Especially when you’d be spending the same money with friends/family.

Feels like they don’t care if their partner feels seen and I think it’s discouraging.
