It’s that time of year again when my partner gets upset with me because I’m not the kind of person that ever wants anything…

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 it’s hard when I don’t talk about things I want. And when asked, I don’t know what to say. It only ends up causing me anxiety.

This is so dumb. What does a person who doesn’t want things want for their birthday?

    I think you lifted gift giving standards way up high and your partner wants to keep up 😊

    • Anything that can be consumed, eaten or drunk is a good gift.
    • Tickets to some event you can both attend and spend quality time together. Maybe a concert
