I want to know how often your husbands get your flowers?
me and my husband have had the conversation that he should make more effort with romantic gestures. Even buying cheap reduced flowers every now and again to me it’s the thought that counts.
Before anyone states do I buy him gifts, YES all the time when I go out I always get him something I know he likes, a chocolate bar or his favourite thing. But I never get it in return which I find quite upsetting and he knows this. So AIBU to want flowers or a chocolate every now and again?

@Nottherealslimshady I wouldn’t say I don’t feel desired He loves me dearly I know that and can tell that but I find the effort side in our relationship sometimes is lacking from him.

I hate being bought flowers and my husband and DC know this.

I do love chocolate though, so he often surprises me with random bars of that, or little bags of sweets.

Rarely. In fact, apart from a special occasion, probably never.
It wouldn’t feel romantic if I had to ask him to buy me flowers, I like flowers so I just buy them for myself when I go past a florist and see a bunch I particularly like.

Every time the ones in my vase die, he replaces them. So every 2 weeks or so?

only on Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day and my birthday. So predictable .

Not super often. But I don't really care becuase he does other romantic things. It's about feeling valued and desired, I feel that way constantly so I don't really need the flowers. If he doesn't make you feel that way then there's more to it than flowers.
