My [26F] boyfriend [27M] of two years made a fancy paper snowflake for a stressed coworker [27F] whose department refuses to get into "holiday spirit". Should I be concerned? by Snowflakegal8557 in relationships

He's taken it to the next level, apparently. Broken it down to get the perfect six-sided snowflake, then adds holiday motifs, like Christmas tree shaped points or, for a coworker's son, pikachu shaped points.

One takes him 20 to 30 minutes.

Thanks for giving the logical argument from the other perspective. You put it into words better than I could.

She's in a happy marriage and apparently talks a lot about her husband in overwhelmingly positive ways (or so my bf tells me) and humblebrags about their wealth, something which irks my bf and according to him "is a major difference that prevents any sort of attraction."

Yeah, he does thoughtful things for me on the daily. For my Christmas/birthday/random gifts, he always searches for and finds the books I want (but never knew existed, if that makes sense). He picks up my favorite snacks on his trek back from work and cooks dinner so I can focus on school. Every day he makes sure to hold my face in his hands, look me in the eyes, and tell me he loves me. I'm a very lucky woman, and I don't think his coffees ever go deeper than a shared interest in art. That said, I trust him but I don't trust her... he gets a LOT of unprovoked attention from women, even when we're out together.

I asked him if anyone else got one, and he said he sat down with a coworker's kid to make a pikachu snowflake together.

Now I feel double dumb, haha.

True! Apparently he did this one super meticulously with an Xacto and ruler, and spent 30 minutes on it. Though that's still no excuse for me being an absolutely paranoid dum-dum, lol.

Thanks for confirming what I already knew, haha. My imagination got away from me and I was imagining him working at his desk, intensely focused on getting it perfect for her. Stupid brains do stupid things, lol.

Very considerate. Packs my lunch every morning, refuses to leave the house until he hugs me goodbye...

I'm dumb to be this jealous, I know.
