I earn a higher salary than him, so it's not problematic to get him presents. I understand not all people demonstrate caring through items, but if I am able to, why not?

However when he avoids wearing a piece I've presented him, particularly after I've given consideration into it, I get hurt.

This summer, I purchased him a set of jeans. Yet I noticed he avoided wearing them, and asked if he liked them.

He appeared down the subsequent day wearing them, announcing: "Hey, I've have your pants on!" It left me experiencing silly.

It appeared as if he was only wearing them because I had questioned. To some extent felt delighted, but another part felt as if he was doing it to end the discussion.

I don't anticipate him to sport everything right away or to perform thanks, but whenever periods pass and I never observe him sporting my items, I start to wonder if he enjoyed them in the outset.

I imagine that's because he lacks as much enthusiasm in clothing as I do and lacks as much income to spend in his outfits.

But, from my end, occasionally it's unrelated to the outfits at all; it's about desiring to sense that my kindnesses are valued.

I adore that he is self-reliant and stubborn; it's component of what makes him him. But I additionally hope he'd see that when I get him things, I'm just trying to connect with him.
