23F, bit sad about a stupid thing in my relationship

I don’t even know if I have the right to feel bad about it, because my 26M boyfriend is an absolute angel.

He’s everything I could have wished for. He’s kind, supportive, beautiful, funny, patient…he’s my rock, he’s amazing.

I guess it’s a bit silly, but what makes me feel a bit sad is that he’s so nice and loving, but he’s never gotten me a flower. We’ve been together since 1.5 years and yeah…not on Valentine’s Day, not on our anniversary, not on my birthday…

I guess it’s a cliché thing to do, and he’s not really one of those cliché guys.

Just yeah, today is women’s day, and I didn’t even get a ‘happy women’s day’, while I saw on the stories of someone I used to know that her boyfriend got her a little bouquet with yellow flowers and a card and it was super cute.

What’s also sad is that I brought him flowers three times in the last year, for his birthday and two Valentine’s days.

I don’t need much, even just flowers he finds in a literal field would be fine. I know he’s a bit tight on money and I would never want for him to spend more than he feels comfortable doing. But yeah, even a single flower picked from the side of the street would make me so happy.

It’s so silly, and I should be grateful to just have him, but i can’t help to be a bit sad.

At the same time I also don’t feel like telling him because then if he did give me flowers I would feel like it’s not genuine.

Eh whatever
