Question Posted Sunday May 1 2005, 4:17 pm

My boyfriend (22) and I (20) have been together for over two years now and we've celebrated many holidays together. For my birthday, he got me a Dooney and Bourke purse and for Christmas, he bought me a Tiffany's bracelet! He has bought me many gifts that I have loved, and I thought this was great, because he knew my taste and what I would like!! I recently found out that his mom has been telling him what he should get me for these holidays. It kind of hurts my feelings because it makes me feel like he doesn't know me very well at all. He just goes to his mom to find out what he should get me. I have a feeling that someday, she's gonna pick out the ring he should propose to me with!! I hate this!! I want him to pick out this for me himself!! What should I do about this?

Get over yourself......Your boyfriend is taking the time to go and ask what you like...which means he is taking the time to learn about you. There are men who just dont care and even forget. Count your blessings and stop complaining.

Tell him that. Guy's just aren't real good at it! They don't seem to realize that girls really don't care what it is.Tell him you appreciate that he cares enough to want to get you something good, but you'd like it much better knowing he went to the trouble of looking for something himself. :)

Tell him. Say to him that you would prefer even a card over a tiffany bracelet as long as he has chosen it. What matters to you most is the thought that has gone behind the present not the fact he has asked his mum - you should let him know that.

well i wouldnt worry about it. he just wants to get you something perfect. lets put it this way, he thought about it so much that he realized he needed help and that takes some guts on his part. (not many guys admit to it.) those are just material things...as long as she doesnt tell him what to do in the relatioship, i really dont think you have anything to worry about. <3

its nice that he wants a womans oppinion so that you will get somthing nice instead of something stupid. u should not care about it if he asks for help

well..... i think that hes asking his mom because he wants to get you the perfect gift and for you to not get mad at a crappy gift. but i'm sure he will pick out the ring.... he'll probally pick something good and big to impress you
