Does you OH buy you flowers?

[EpochTime]

Just to satisfy my curiosity, please. Does your OH buy you flowers? My OH seems to think he's a prince among men for buying me flowers occasionally, as apparently not many men do this! From my experience, I'm convinced he's wrong!

[LilyLongJohn]

Yes he does, every couple of weeks he'll come home with flowers for me. I love it

[hesaidshesaidwhat]

No he doesn't, can't remember the last time he did and he doesn't do anything to make me feel cherished either. I buy myself flowers (every week) and treats because actually I am worth it :-)

[YouCantBeSadHoldingACupcake]

No, but I'm not a flower person

[Odile13]

Not at this stage of our relationship. He knows I find flowers a bit of a faff, although I love going for a walk together & looking at flowers in nature!

[TheDaydreamBelievers]

Nope. I buy my own occasionally. But hes very kind and generous in other ways

[Iwantmychairback]

Yes, he does. On birthdays, anniversaries etc. And also if he thinks I’m a bit down or fed up.
Sometimes just because he ‘saw them and thought I would like them)

[Guiltypleasures001]

Regularly get a single rose in a glass from the garden
If he buys me flowers I say who is she? And are you talking to girls

Which is met with theatrical deep sighs and eye rolling

[HemlockStarglimmer]

Nope. He dislikes cut flowers and won't waste money on them. I knew he knew just how much he'd pissed me off once when he bought a bunch of flowers.
He's shit at displays of affection but tells me he loves me every day.

[TooTrueToBeGood]

I buy my wife flowers quite regularly. Not for any particular reason, just because she likes them and if I see something nice I'll get them for her. It always puts a smile on her face so why wouldn't I?

[KittenCalledBob]

No he doesn't. That's ok with me

[AlternativePerspective]

No, but I’m not a flowers person. TBH I don’t like the fact they have to be picked so they can be sold in bunches, and I invariably forget about them anyway and they end up dropping petals everywhere. So... err no.

I know he would if I wanted them, but I don’t.

And we don’t do valentines. When we first started seeing each other his colleagues told him that I clearly just said I don’t do valentines but would be really disappointed if he didn’t get me anything. I really wasn’t. My birthday is just after valentines and I find valentines just an excuse for the shops to charge more for the same stuff you can have any other day...

I knew a couple who would go all out for valentines, romantic meals, champagne, hotel rooms full of flowers that kind of thing, then would tell the world how much they hated each other and couldn’t wait to get rid of the other the rest of the year. .

[StormBaby]

I get 2 or 3 bunches a week

[CorianderLord]

He has about 6 times over 7 years. He knows I love them, but he just doesn't think about them as he thinks they're a waste of money.

When he does it's lovely, nice surprise for £5. But if he expected me to bend my knee because he did so they'd be shoved down the back of his shirt. As a selfless little lovely then they're fab.

[ReallySpicyCurry]

Yes, during the winter months. I absolutely stuff the house with flowers whenever I can. I grow beautiful cut flowers in our garden through summer, then in winter he takes over with the rather nice £3 bunches from our local shop

He also buys me wax melts as well and is getting me a stand mixer this week because I've been struggling with isolating with a toddler and he feels sorry for me

[Whenwemeet]

When I was in final year at school a teacher told us a story about how she was always so jealous of her next door neighbour as her boyfriend was always coming into the house with massive bouquets of flowers. She then found out down the line he had been abusing her.

As a result I’ve never put much store by things like flowers. I think actions speak louder than words. My DH doesn’t but he goes above and beyond for me everyday.

So while no is the answer to your OP if he thinks that let’s him off the hook for doing things / treating you well it’s probably not worthwhile getting the flowers either!

[Justlovedogs]

Can't say never, but maybe 3 or 4 times in 31 years...
He does, however, make a blinding bread and butter pudding at regular intervals during the winter, which is infinitely more useful...

[Amanda87]

Never. He gives me wine instead! LOL

[Thingsdogetbetter]

Not at all in the first 3 years. Regularly (at least once a month) in the last seven as I gave up on subtle and not so subtle hints and sat him down and told him I appreciate flowers and they make me very happy. He says the vase is the most expensive thing in our flat. Lol.

[combatbarbie]

We used to have a thing where he would buy flowers on Friday which meant I had to do breakfast on. Sunday.

These days I work away during the week so he will buy flowers when he's doing the food shop if he sees flowers he knows I'd like, lollies, gladioli etc

[FippertyGibbett]

No.

[WitchesSpelleas]

Occasionally - maybe 4 times a year.

[Muchadoaboutlife]

Hahaha! Flower moaning! NO! and honestly, if this is a reason for you to be on a forum and it’s the only issue in your relationship then you’re super lucky and you really should get your head out of your area. Some people have real problems!

[Chasingsquirrels]

Late-DH used to bring me a lovely bouquet on Christmas eve, I used to forgot every year until he came home with it.

DP (don't live together) brings flowers and chocolates every few weeks.

[Isthisnothing]

Now and again although I can't remember the last time specifically. I'm not too pushed on flowers though and he buys me other little gifts.

[firesong]

Yes. He's quite a gift giver. I like it
