Am I Overreacting? by dwayni: 5:44am On Jun 23, 2015
Hello guys, I am having a little problem in my 18 months relationship so I decided to share the little issue here just to get your opinions.

I love my girlfriend with all my heart, I never knew there was young females like her until last year when I met her. She is everything amazing thing a woman should be, well mannered and cultured regardless of family background and living in America for almost all her life she still possess those awesome qualities of a well breed queen from the motherland.

I could go all day praising her lol.

The problem is, I feel like we are in somewhat of competitive relationship in terms of gifting.

I will only give few instances. Her birthday is in August but I decided to surprise her with a newer model one of her favorite vehicles (sports car) because we both love sports cars. I gave her the early birthday gift because I'd be out of the country during her birthday.

Now as everyone know yesterday was fathers day. I don't have a child yet beside 3 God children 2 girls and a boy. I was invited to her family home by her mother since my parents are around here for Father's Day. Nice dinner served, good music,drinks, a few family friends and all that..

To cut the long story short. She didn't let me drive, she picked me up from my home. I came home to a brand new mustang near my driveway. She bought me a car for father's day.

Now I feel like we are in some kind of competition especially on gifting. Am I overreacting? Because I am still thinking about telling how I feel about her giving me similar gifts or exactly the same thing whenever I buy things for her. She also does that whenever I buy gift for her friends or family members.

Please your advice will really be appreciated. I love her and I do not want to come up as an ass or ungrateful brat and ruin what we have for each other.

Front page please..

We are in a relationship. 18 months relationship, I already have her attention. I have no doubt that I'm going to marry her.

OK
maybe she is just trying to let you know she is loaded just like you. some ladies have that pride in them especially those from rich family.

Seeking opinion not attention. With that being said, I don't think I owe you or anyone a lie. I could get picture of any vehicle to post here and what else would you want me to do? Take a picture holding a sign with nairaland written on it?

I've been a sucker lover and I finally found someone I believe is right and I do not want to screw it up that's why I'm here.

Brova she's tryin to let you know dat those things doesn't freak her as a matter of fact, anything u buy she's equal to d task in givin it bak to you and she will never tell u face to face she will keep returning ur gifts to you so u will have notin to bost of...so stop wastin ur time buying stuffs like dat next time give her something dat no one has ever given to her before. Gals like dat are not moved by all dat kinda gift coz they can afford it.
Be Creative you don't need money to impress such gals try somthing different.

Mean while am still yet to believe your story though
Re: Am I Overreacting? by dwayni: 6:13am On Jun 23, 2015
Smh.. I guess this is the wrong section. I have moved this topic to family section.

Just because you have nothing don't mean someone else wouldn't. I didn't buy her a buggatti neither did she bought me a jet. Its just a freaking Mustang GT which is nothing up to or more than $36,000 . I hate to sound cocky but really being broke really sucks.

Again this is about saving my relationship and being happy not about a piece of car that could crash anytime.

u guys are no match for each other or rather ir yet to learn the true ingredients to a lasting love. What ur doing now is rather competition; and by the time a smarter guy from the corner shows her love she'd dump ur ass again and u'll continue being a sucker

*modified*
he truly moved this topic to the family section and he's receiving the same response

There!! I guess you should apply the same tactic your relationship, your relationship ain't broken what are you tryna fix?

I would give an arm and leg for a reciprocal relationship like yours. its quite unreal, almost movie like. Ain't nothing wrong with your relationship, you'd be foolish to go and spoil it with something that's quite frankly petty. IMO.

Re: Am I Overreacting? by Princess001(f): 11:26pm On Jul 08, 2015
Wow your girlfriend is lucky! But that's BTW seems she has her own cash too maybe you should just talk to her and tell her that you're the man in the relationship and you appreciate her gifts but she's doing too much. Wish I had a man to spoil me like that smiley
