Give And Take Relationship
« on: July 17, 2008, 08:53 PM »

hey guys i need some help here, i have this chic i have been dating for quite a while now and i am in the believe that a relationship is about giving and taking but in this case my chic is from a more wealthier home than i am and she is in the believe that all she should do is take atleast so far thats what has been happening. even though  i have never asked for anything and have been showering her with gifts, as i have never even needed anything from her i just feel it would be rite if she just thought of even purchasing a t-shirt for me one day or nairalanders what do you think?
  hey i know they are alot of bad mouthed nairalander on board!! please bad mouths! keep your opinions to yourselves and go play with sand where all your mates are and let the mature landers comment.

She is selfish and will not change no matter how much you love her.

I suggest you either deal with or walk away.  A woman that loves you will give you something, a card a letter a t-shirt.  When a woman loves a man and is not selfish we tend to see things and think my sweetie would like that and pick it up for the one we love.

I agree insensitive selfish women/men are no fun at all.

Relationships only work if there is equal giving and taking.

when no one feels used.  if one person is always taking the other will feel used.  There is no score card that is kept but you know when the other person is only taking and you are only giving.  If it does not need to be discussed or you don't have the thought of oh shit what does she/he want now then you know that it is equal.

GREAT Vignette, There are some Vampires who will suck, and suck and suck, and give nothing in return. Such is life!! For me, I don't accept anything from anyone. Don't need to hear how "ungrateful" I am when I am ready to bounce,

Beila, to be honest with you, no matter how much you love this woman, if she is the kind that is compassionless and uncaring about the things you do for her, you should run away and stay away. But first, discuss it with her if you haven't.

Hey Poster,

Maybe you could try stop buying her anything and see how she reacts? If she asl you then you say "why should I babey, you're not buying me anything?" and then you see how she reacts.

@poster to be candid thats not fair for her.maybe is her own level of understanding.you know some ladies believe that a man should take care of their responsibilities if you really love har as matured adults talk it over with her tell her that you will appreciate it better if she showers u with gifts so as to feel loved it might not be expensive.a boxer,singlet,rechargecards,perfumes to mention but a few just express how you feel a reasonable person will understand.

age matters here.a typical teen girl will never think of gettin the guy a gift because she believes the guy has to do it all xcept if she is exposed.i don't feel good about the tellin her thing because it will look like u doin the givin to collect too.stop the gift givin and let it be very obvious and if she complains, make ur move.pronto!if she is lovin she will change if she dosnt,start thinkin of buying her a FREE i!not a phone o! i mean freeeeeeee her.gdlck

@ poster


Relationship is about give and take, you claim to be givin and not receiving. What about all the free lovin she's being givin does that not count? You chose to spoil her by givin her gifts. You can hint to her the next time she goes shoppin, that you would like  an extra large T-shirt or whatever it is you fancy. Do talk to her about it and don't forget to tell her you detest a freeloader. If she loves you that's all you need.

Hey Beila,
This woman should think herself lucky!! Some women make me so cross, bloodsuckers who don't know a good thing when its there in front of them. My boyfriend is a taker, only gifts I ever got was about 3 gifts at beginning of relationship when winning me over then sumat on valentines day this year, nothing for xmas or birthday! I never get taken out and certainly get no flowers, gifts or surprises. When I had our baby there was nothing except grief!!! yes he's a poor student so I forgave him but I do think I deserve better. I guess I gave myself too cheaply!!

some people are naturally not givers
