Whenever my boyfriend fails to wear an item I've given him, I experience upset. Selecting presents is my approach of demonstrating I love

I genuinely love purchasing gifts for my significant other, him. It concerns caring; I feel thrilled whenever I notice an item that reminds me of him.

I specifically like to get him outfits – I believe it gives him a modest morale increase. Even though I already like his personal style, it's my approach of expressing I love.

I make more money than him, so it's not significant to get him gifts. I realize not everyone express caring through items, but if I can afford it, what's the harm?

However when he fails to wear something I've offered him, specifically after I've put thought into it, I experience disappointed.

During summer, I got him a couple of blue jeans. However I observed he hadn't worn them, and questioned if he liked them.

He walked below the following day putting on them, saying: "Hello, I've have your pants on!" That made me feeling stupid.

It appeared as if he was just putting on them because I had asked. Somewhat felt happy, but conversely felt as if he was acting to shut me up.

I don't expect him to wear each item promptly or to perform appreciation, but whenever periods elapse and I don't notice him wearing my presents, I start to doubt if he liked them in the beginning.

I desire him to appear his best – so, certainly, I have views about what matches him.

One time, I sought to remove his sandals. I dislike them. Axel got quite annoyed. Possibly I crossed boundaries a somewhat.

He claimed I sought to remove his character, but I didn't. I simply desired him to recognize what I observe: that he could look wonderful if he upgraded his outfits somewhat.

My boyfriend has has wonderful fashion sense when he chooses to, and I get frustrated when he continues with the same few items out of habit.

I imagine that's because he doesn't take as much enthusiasm in style as I do and lacks as much money to allocate in his outfits.

But, from my end, sometimes it's unrelated to the clothes at all; it's about desiring to sense that my kindnesses are recognized.

I love that he is self-reliant and strong-willed; it's part of what makes him him. But I furthermore desire he'd recognize that when I get him items, I'm simply attempting to connect with him.
