Maybe I have a lack of understanding, or maybe I’m childish, but here’s what’s up :
I’m not gonna bother researching what people like and get the perfect gifts for them anymore.
I’ve been giving, lots. LOTS.
and I got nothing I like.
Nothing new here.
Want something?
No one is gonna give it to you.
People can say they care.
People can say they love you.
Just lose the expectation and just go get it yourself mate.
Your other half constantly bringing up their financial issues around your birthday simply translates to :
Doesn’t matter if it’s your birthday, don’t expect anything.
People always tell each other things like ‘oh why are you unhappy’ and ‘I don’t want to see you upset’ and ‘I want you to be happy’
But do nothing about it 🤷🏻♂️
Ironic ain’t it?
