When my partner doesn't wear an item I've offered him, I get upset. Buying items is my way of demonstrating I value him

I truly love buying things for my boyfriend, him. It's about love; I become enthusiastic when I notice something that recalls him.

I specifically like to get him clothes – I feel it offers him a small confidence boost. Even though I already appreciate his sense of style, it's my way of showing I love.

I earn a higher salary than him, so it's not significant to buy him gifts. I realize not all people demonstrate love through items, but if I can afford it, there's no reason not to?

However when he avoids wearing something I've given him, specifically after I've taken care into it, I experience hurt.

During summer, I purchased him a couple of jeans. However I noticed he hadn't worn them, and inquired if he appreciated them.

He walked below the next day wearing them, stating: "Hey, I've have your pants on!" This caused me experiencing silly.

It appeared as if he was only wearing 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 shut me up.

I don't expect him to put on each item right away or to demonstrate thanks, but whenever weeks elapse and I fail to see him wearing my presents, I begin to question if he enjoyed them in the outset.

I wish him to look his best – so, certainly, I have opinions about what fits him.

On one occasion, I attempted to remove his Crocs. I can't stand them. Axel got very upset. Maybe I overstepped a somewhat.

He said I sought to remove his character, but I hadn't. I just wished him to understand what I perceive: that he could seem amazing if he improved his clothing collection slightly.

My boyfriend has possesses great style when he wants to, and I get disappointed when he continues with the routine items out of habit.

I suppose that's because he doesn't take as much enthusiasm in fashion as I do and doesn't have as much money to invest in his clothing.

But, from my viewpoint, at times it's not about the garments at all; it's about wanting to feel that my actions are appreciated.

I appreciate that Axel is independent and determined; it's aspect of what characterizes him. But I also wish he'd see that when I buy him gifts, I'm only attempting to relate to him.

Bella additionally earns a much more income than me, and it doesn't represent a major concern for her to splurge on new items.

Yet I don't have that multiple outfits, and I'm familiar with sporting the identical clothes. It needs me a little while to acclimate to having fresh items in my clothing collection.

I'm likewise unaccustomed to individuals purchasing me items, as this is my initial partnership. There's likely furthermore a touch of me acting stubborn.

I actually like the denim she got me, but occasionally if she has a great thought, my initial reaction is to decline to implement it, simply because I've been alone for so extensively and I dislike being told what to do.

Bella has also noted this propensity in me, and I understand I should to improve it.

However, another part of me wonders whether she is buying me things because she's {trying|attempt
