Flowers for Christmas from new boyfriend.

What would you think if you got a bunch of flowers from someone you’ve been dating for a year.

My oh just gave me flowers from the internetthey arrived today but the way he’s been messaging me the past week leaving me clues and made it appear I was getting Crown Jewels or something a bit more than flowers.

I’m well aware I appear like a spoilt brat but he’s going away to his family today so I know that’s all he’s bothered to get me. Whereas I spent quite a bit of time and thought on his present. Feeling a bit deflated to be honest.

I can almost feel the grow up comments coming in already as I type this and I’d say the same, but this guy is now sulking because I apparently didn’t congratulate him on his really thoughtful gift enough so now I’m somehow in the doghouse.

For further info I received them alone and opened them up straight away put them in a vase and sent a photo thanking him to say there were lovely.

Omg...he is seriously weird.

Thank your lucky stars that this bunch of lame ass tulips saved your bacon.
He’s really let his mask slip alright.
Going into all the dodgy details about his illness..ugh! 🤢

Who wants that in their life?

I reckon your guardian angel was watching over you op.
I’m so pleased you’re not going from the frying pan into the fire

You could write the book

‘A bunch of tulips saved my life ‘

A bunch of tulips saved my life Grin

Could do the sliding doors thing... Life staying with and life without.

Buying flowers online to be delivered takes about 5 minutes and very little thought. Hand picking them yourself from a local florist is quite different. Perhaps it would have been a nice gift if he hadn't built it up so much.

After reading your later updates, well done, OP. He sounds like a silky child. Well shot of him.

floribunda18 · 24/12/2018 08:10

Sulky child. I'm not sure what a silky child is.

I wouldn't be happy. Flowers for birthdays but not st Christmas he needs a better imagination

ohfourfoxache · 24/12/2018 08:29

Bloody hell, don’t even THINK about wobbling. This guy is absolutely ridiculous

Hi, I’m doing ok Thankyou.

I had a lovely day with family around yesterday, da has gone to his dads so I’m alone today, supposed to be going out by friends have let me down. I did get a happy Christmas message from him yesterday replied back out of politeness wishing him a happy Christmas too. He tried to initiate a conversation but I’ve since deleted it.

I’m going for a nice long bath now with my stuff my son got me for Christmas, then a few vodkas while shopping the sales online

I can't believe the fuss and upset he's made. Not a good sign. Has he been in touch since? Are flowers more expensive in the US so he was surprised at the price? How are you supposed to stay with someone like this that says this is the last present I ever buy you as if he's expecting you to stay together on those terms - never mind everything else he's said.
