When my boyfriend doesn't wear a piece I've given him, I experience disappointed. Purchasing items is my approach of showing I care

I genuinely love selecting gifts for my significant other, him. It's about love; I get excited whenever I notice a piece that reminds me of him.

I specifically enjoy get him garments – I feel it provides him a modest morale increase. Even though I already like his sense of style, it's my method of demonstrating I care.

My income is more money than him, so it's not a big deal to get him gifts. I understand not everyone demonstrate affection through gifts, but if I can afford it, why not?

Yet when he avoids wearing a piece I've offered him, specifically after I've taken care into it, I experience disappointed.

During summer, I bought him a pair of jeans. Yet I observed he hadn't worn them, and asked if he appreciated them.

He appeared downstairs the next day sporting them, announcing: "Hey, I've have your pants on!" That made me feel foolish.

It appeared as if he was merely sporting them due to the fact that I had asked. To some extent felt happy, but another part felt as if he was doing it to quiet me.

I don't expect him to wear all gifts immediately or to show appreciation, but if time go by and I never see him sporting my items, I start to question if he enjoyed them in the first place.

I want him to appear his optimal – so, indeed, I have thoughts about what matches him.

On one occasion, I sought to discard his Crocs. I can't stand them. Axel got quite annoyed. Maybe I went too far a somewhat.

He said I sought to remove his personality, but I didn't. I just wished him to understand what I perceive: that he could appear amazing if he enhanced his wardrobe somewhat.

He has possesses wonderful style when he chooses to, and I get disappointed when he sticks to the identical things out of custom.

I guess that's since he doesn't take as much enthusiasm in clothing as I do and lacks as much income to invest in his clothing.

However, from my viewpoint, sometimes it's unrelated to the clothes at all; it's about desiring to feel that my gestures are recognized.

I love that Axel is autonomous and stubborn; it's component of what defines him. But I furthermore desire he'd see that when I buy him items, I'm simply attempting to bond with him.
