Itโs that time of year again when my partner gets upset with me because Iโm not the kind of person that ever wants anythingโฆ
My partner always wants this or that. They mention things they want all the time. So I write down what I hear. Gift holidays are covered easily because I try to pay attention.
I feel bad though. I know itโs hard when I donโt talk about things I want. And when asked, I donโt know what to say. It only ends up causing me anxiety.
This is so dumb. What does a person who doesnโt want things want for their birthday?
pegging
An experience, like going axe-throwing.
A favorite food.
A music playlist made especially with you in mind.
I also donโt like receiving gifts from my spouse. So I just tell her to buy my bar tab for the night.
Ha! I so very rarely go for drinks, mainly because I donโt wanna pay for it. Lol. If only I married someone who was independently wealthy. Oh well, no take backsies. ๐
Lol my wife isnโt rich either. She works as an insulator, so me makes decent enough money that she can buy me 60 bucks worth of beer once a year tho.
If I didnโt have to actually absorb all the calories from that amount of beer, this would be an amazing gift. ๐คฃ
Seriously, I watch sitcoms where people are drinking beer after beer at home or going to bars all the time. My body simply canโt keep up with that amount of input. ๐
Use it as an excuse to strengthen your bond I guess. Just say something like โall I want is to do (XYZ thing you know you both like: dinner, movie, whatever.) with you, I donโt need anything more.โ If that even is something youโd even want to do of course. Donโt force it if it isnโt what you want.
Just be honest with them, you could even possibly try to explain the anxiety you feel about it all and let them know youโre happy just being with them in whatever way.
Either that or pick a food you like lol for me Iโd probably just say โget me a big olโ bag of chocolate covered pretzels and Iโll be in heaven.โ :P
