my boyfriends birthday is the same day as valentines day . what should i get him ?

ill rate 5's for any answer

It's always difficult when a major holiday is the same day as someone's birthday because the birthday often seems to come in second place to the holdiay.

My suggestion to you is to get him whatever you would get him if his birthday was on say March 14th.

In other words, don't combine the two occasions. If you know that he's really into sports or music, get him something you know he'd like from those categories rather than getting him something valentine-y.

He'll appreciate you recognizing his birthday as a special event on it's own.

Let him make the plans for Valentine's day with you.

Good Luck!

Hi Sleepieseep,

Unfortunately, you are experiencing a very serious problem at a very you age. The first thing I would say to you is that this is NOT your fault!!! The second thing you need to understand is that no good guy raises his hand to a woman, especially not a woman he cares for - ever.

You should run to the nearest adult you trust and tell them what has been going on, ideally this will be your parents.

There may be some wonderful things that you enjoy about him, but the fact that he hurts you negates all of them!

This problem should be brought to the attention of his family; it's not too late to make him realize that his behavior is unacceptable and needs to be corrected.

You need to like yourself enough to walk away from someone who doesn't like you enough or respect you enough not to hurt you. You deserve better!

Stay safe honey,

Gabrielle
