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?

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. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

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. [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]

LoveNJstyle answered Sunday May 1 2005, 5:44 pm: 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 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
