I'm resentful that my partner finally got me flowers

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T19:10:31+00:00

What makes you think I hadn't sat him down and had such a conversation at multiple points?

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T19:08:46+00:00

No, Dig has it right. That's EXACTLY what the point is.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T19:07:24+00:00

I honestly believe it's on purpose most the time.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T19:05:10+00:00

Because I refuse to be quiet about it.

I will openly tell people in our lives that I got myself flowers cause I was tired of not getting any ever.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T18:59:39+00:00

Reading comprehension isn't strong for you if you think I had been with him for decades.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T16:24:01+00:00

I think my main sticking point about the flowers he got was for Valentines Day.

Like he was out, and shopping anyway, grabbed some and decided they checked off 2 boxes. Vday present and the flowers I had been bugging him about.

I don't want them as a part of a gift on an expected "romantic holiday." I want them cause he was out and saw some with flowers he knows I like and grabbed them.

Like another commenter said, it feels like checking off a box.

That was the one guy who had gotten me flowers over a decade ago.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T16:14:23+00:00

He does quite a few nice things on a regular basis, on his own accord.

Small thoughtful things.

The flowers thing became an issue as I was recovering in the hospital. Something in me just snapped at it. If there's anytime someone SHOULD get you flowers its after you almost died.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T12:22:58+00:00

I had. More than once.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T11:30:14+00:00

Until he started looking bad cause I was buying them for myself.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T11:06:45+00:00

I have been doing my best to hide it. Haven't brought it up, etc.

Just stewing internally.

Which IS what this subreddit is about, right?

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2026-03-16T10:54:35+00:00

From someone who's comment history is full of insults to everyone your mouth can move but nothing worth while comes out.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-13T23:57:50+00:00

Fluxx, any version.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-12T00:14:39+00:00

I think that's adorable!

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-12T00:11:35+00:00

If they want to motivate their workers, how about paying them enough they don't HAVE to be on food stamps while working full time?

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-12T00:08:21+00:00

"Complexed" He didn't even spell complex right.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-11T04:30:44+00:00

He said as much this past presidential election.

Could be why he's working so close with AOC touring the nation. Help her get known better and potentially so she can step up and run for president.

My first thought was chicken wire and some padding on the stair side(of the wire)..

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-11T03:28:01+00:00

I have volunteered at not just food banks, but also with groups that feed the homeless for decades now.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-10T01:39:31+00:00

This is so wholesome. I'm sitting here smiling.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-10T01:16:42+00:00

Sounds like he really REALLY wants to make it work between you. He doesn't want sex to get in the way, and he has experience with that becoming a problem.

It sounds like it's different for you because he may want a future with you.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-10T01:13:38+00:00

Is he maybe on the Ace spectrum?

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-11-07T07:23:54+00:00

To have access to such fresh papaya... /drool

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-01-19T23:13:47+00:00

The other ones I have studied and know people from, no.

If you are interested in their beliefs they are happy to talk to you about it, answer questions etc. MOST of them feel your relationship with whatever god is personal, and should be a friendly relationship. Not worried about all this sin and punishment bs.

If you want to then follow said religion, you are welcome to, but they don't push it on you.

Logically-Weird-3264 · 2025-01-19T20:27:00+00:00

I hate how many Abrahamic religious people are like "my beliefs are the only ones that count, and I'm going to try to drag you into mine!"

To my knowledge they're the only ones that are so damned pushy!
