    No. I am in a relationship now and we both didn’t really care that it was valentines. We played boardgames I think, I am not sure which day it was. Don’t get idiotic over presents or which number in the roman calendar represents the current tilt of the planet. Live life instead.

    If it sucks to be with someone, it’s because you don’t fit. Don’t blame. Don’t try to change them. Don’t sink into anger. Then you’re the asshole. Leave. It should be fun and feel nice to live with someone. Don’t let the assholes win.

      What? No to communication? Yes to just bail? Thanks for bringing the Reddit vibe.

      Your situation sounds great, it is in fact similar to mine. But guess what, it’s not unique, and your relationship is not better than comment OPs because you and your partner are on the same page on holidays and presents. No one is talking about changing a person, we talk about changing behavior.

      They could be compatible in a thousand different ways except this one, you have no idea. And if you think your relationship is perfect without communication around the things that aren’t, then either that relationship is new, or your partner isn’t being honest with you.

        Yes to communication, no to whatever is going on with saying they need presents on valentines. It’s not my type and I have seen enough people trying to mold their partners. My alarm bells go off when you say change behavior to someone that will then be forced to give presents. Do you think they will be happy with the presents? It’s so likely that it becomes childish when you know that they are guaranteed to find a new thing that irks them. When you age you will learn this.

        Stop wasting your life on people that don’t like you. And stop clinging to someone as if nobody else can love you. When you don’t act like yourself it is impossible to see and love you for who you are. That simple.

            Don’t change the topic, it’s a very childish way to reject an argument you can’t argue with because you realise you are wrong
