I feel like I’m not doing enough as a boyfriend
Yeah I don’t really have many people to talk to so I’m gonna vent a bit (I was venting to chat gpt so I guess this is a little better?) anyways me and my girlfriend have been together for 2 years, living together for 1. I pay most of the bills, and she pays for gas and groceries. She makes a little more money than me and has more to work with so she gets me a lot of gifts, this makes me feel bad. I’m not able to buy her stuff all the time and I see a lot of TikTok’s saying how men should buy their girlfriends gifts and flowers all the time. So naturally I start feeling shitty.
Sometimes she pays for lunch and outings and stuff, I feel like im not doing it as much as I should. I do, however, do anything she asks me to. I make her lunch when she’s hungry, make her dinner, if she wants something to drink I go get it for her. But these things still don’t feel like enough.
