I particularly enjoy get him outfits – I feel it gives him a modest self-esteem lift. Even though I already admire his sense of style, it's my way of showing I care.

I make greater earnings than him, so it's not problematic to buy him items. I realize some individuals don't express affection through presents, but when I can afford it, what's the harm?

However when he fails to wear something I've given him, particularly after I've put thought into it, I feel upset.

I imagine that's due to the fact that he doesn't take as much enthusiasm in style as I do and doesn't have as much money to allocate in his outfits.

But, from my perspective, occasionally it's not concerning the clothes at all; it's about desiring to sense that my gestures are appreciated.

I adore that he is autonomous and stubborn; it's aspect of what characterizes him. But I also desire he'd recognize that when I buy him gifts, I'm only trying to relate to him.
