My bf hates any type of shopping, he has walked out of stores. Is impatient constantly telling me he’s ready to go. I know a life with him means I am responsible solely for grocery shopping, Christmas shopping, any kind. Am I weird for not wanting this?

Girl dump him. He’s putting in zero effort to make you happy. My boyfriend trails me through eight different stores without a work of complaint. I spent over an hour in Michael’s because they had a sale and all he did was ask wha thing were and show me cute anima reels. When I bring him grocery shopping he starts planning meals with me. YOU CAN DO BETTER. YOU DESERVE BETTER.

Online shopping? Have you also talked to him about any of this?

I think you should preserve your happiness. Anyone lasting relationship works on compromise- and he doesn’t seem to be doing that based on what you’re telling us. Rip the bandaid off now before it’s too late.

I don’t think he will. He has said he prefers if I do all the shopping. Refused to even go to the store for a pickup. We are long distance and the last time I visited, I didn’t have a car and could not get him to go the store for anything. He eventually told me after that if I gave him head when I asked to go he would have said yes. The last time he went clothes shopping with me I asked him his opinion and he just kept asking if I was done yet. I held up a set I thought was cute. All he asked-

Was if I was sure it would fit. There were people around that heard. I saw the look of pity. I felt good about myself before that. I was so embarrassed. Later on ai did cry because the whole thing made me feel so awful. Windsor and I’m both tall and have a lot of ass. Admittedly some things they just don’t have my size in. I didn’t need a reminder. He went to a bench out side and proceeded to huff and puff.

Also I find him asking for head in return to be incredibly insulting. I mean if he wanted to go on a hike or something and you didn’t, would you ever demand the same? I’m betting not. It’s just unfair and turns something that could be a shared experience into a business transaction. He sucks fat ass, he doesn’t deserve you

I should also mention that he insisted I ordered groceries instead. So I did, twice. At this point I’m the only one who travels. I work remotely and he always asks if I can take time off or switch my schedule so it is days instead of mostly overnight weekend shifts. He at one point said things would be easier when I learned his preferences

Tons of times. I can’t get him to even help me with looking at groceries to shop for on my phone.

I can’t help but feel grimy when he says that. There is no amount of explaining I can do to get him to understand

He mostly eats out. It’s a lot more than I want to spend on food. I prefer cooking myself. It’s healthier and more cost effective for the most part. He can cook and bake well, just despises going shopping. I enjoy it. I don’t mind being the one who plans out and mostly shops. It’s just that I know he won’t at all. We had a convo about how for Christmas I would be doing all the shopping then too if there were kids. He wants me to move in. I can’t help but think it will mostly benefit him

You are literally writing paragraphs and paragraphs about how shitty he is, it sounds like you know he’s not compatible with you and that you have a bad feeling about a future with him. Seriously don’t ignore that feeling

I know I shouldn’t but whenever I bring it up I always feel like I’m overreacting. I’ve talked about things with my cousin I’m close with and even my sister before. It’s not good. He doesn’t like when I do because according to him I only focus on the negative and leave out context. I know that I’m not happy with how things are. He promises it will be better when I see him next or that he can actually show me in person. There is one thing that happened in August. In my mind it was bad

He doesn’t see it that way. He understands that it upset me but I don’t think why. It’s so subtle. I love him but I’m not sure if I can ever be fully happy with him. I feel like I’m going to be another one of those women who have all the burden on them. Yeah he is on board with me getting a boob job and he wants to build a future together. If I really wanted to I could have a kid in like three years. I want the family and stability and someone who is willing to experience things with me
