Giving is trap for most men, at least for me. I tend to give something I like to give instead of something she likes to be given.violet wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 3:33 amI’m no relationship expert, but reading has informed me that the key to a successful marriage / relationship is to give.

Then there is the complication of understanding what your partner values, so you give in the way that is most appreciated. For some, that’s material things, for others it’s time, assistance, thoughtful gestures, taking the rubbish out, etc.
Maybe you give on V day and your partner gives on other (every other) days.
Of course, there is the added complication that V day is a commercialised American construct that spread throughout the world. Just set the expectation early that you will not be part of the commercialisation and the peer pressure. Instead, you give appreciation on a regular basis.

Then why does the Prime Minister call on the young girls in his country every year not to fall for the seduction of flowers, chocolate and sweet words and reciprocate in a Guest Housephuketrichard wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 8:54 pm Nothing,

It's that disgusting foreign influence which keeps impacting on the pure and traditional local mores.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

What? Don't other women give Valentine's gifts when they are in a relationship?
I can't imagine being so selfish.

Yes, exactly. Then over the years we figured it out, she tells me exactly what she wants, sometimes even ordering it herself, On Valentines Day I give it to her, sometimes with a little something extra. She posts on FB what a wonderful husband I am. Everybody is happy.
I wish I knew a whole lot more, or a whole lot less.

A woman will always give her man gifts.
How to tell if she's worth keeping, is if she still does it when no one else but him is around.
(same goes for men by the way)
