Is it me...? Am I being selfish?

Question - (12 November 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 16 November 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have been with my 20 year old boyfriend for 2 years and i still love him more than ever, i just feel like throughout our relationship i have never really been treated. even on my birthday i didn't really get many presents and he complained when we went out for a meal and it cost £40 for the both of us. I just dont know how to tell him that i dont get treats like other girls without sounding selfish. i know my friends are always getting taken out, bought flowers and i just feel like he is a little bit lazy in this area. i also feel like i take him out and get him more gifts and treats than he gives me... it just doesn't seem right and surely it is the girl who should get all the treats.

why should the girl get all the treats....i think ure being a bit selfish. I mean if this stuff is important to you than that tells me that there is something wrong with the relationship. If you are happy with the guy, then you should'nt need any materialistic things. Don't buy into what the media tells u....!

Hi, it seems to me that your boyfriend seems abit stingy or maybe hes embarresd to show his sweet side 8), maybe you should mention about going away just you two or a weekend or somthing, does he show you effection? thing is with guys, they dont read from our signals the best thing to do would be to sit down and randomly bring it into a convo maybe even jokingly so he dosent feel under pressure of any kind, let him know that you do appriciate him you just would like to feel more loved and would like a treat 1ce ina while, hes only young hes sitll learning ;).
