My other half never surprises me with a gift. I always have to be there when he buys it. I find this really annoying. What should I do ?

Okay in a way it is nice that he wants me to always like the gifts he buys me but geez I just find it so unromantic that he cannot pick out a gift for me without my knowing.

I have told him this but it just seems like he is incapable of thinking up gifts for me.

What should I do ?

It is so bad that if I don’t say anything at all he will not buy me a gift at all. Why is this?

I feel like it is a self esteem issue. A fear of rejection.

Okay so he grew up in a weird family where they never exchanged gifts but before we married we agreed we would exchange gifts on special occasions. However, i feel like he just doesn’t know how to. It is kind of annoying me because I always am able to think up stuff to buy for him.

I just find this weird and upsetting. What should I do ?
