Why do men felt little guilty when girlfriend gives expensive gift?

Look, getting gifts especially one that someone invested a lot of money in can feel guilty. Does that mean he doesn’t appreciate it? It’s the opposite… It’s like I assume you feel guilty if someone does something like that for you.

It’s sweet don’t get me wrong. You feel more guilty for rejecting a gift. But yeah. Look there are a million ways to pay someone back even if you cannot afford to give a expensive gift back. You can do something heartfelt and that’s meaningful to express your gratitude towards your partner. Which means more then money can ever buy.

HOWEVER, if all someone does to show love is give material items. This could be a red flag. Even if it’s seen as nice there is a such thing as love bombing.

There could be a few reasons. One could be that maybe he feels as though what he got her isn’t as nice or expensive as the gift she game him. Two, a lot of men tend to be conservative w their money so the thought of her spending a lot of money on a gift for him may bother him. Rather then spend that kind of money on him he’d rather her save it or invest it in something. Three, a lot of men don’t put emphasis on gifts. Things like our birthdays are just another day. Men usually don’t act the way women do when it comes to their birthday. For me I’m good w a cake and dinner at home, maybe a movie. A number of girls make a big deal of it. Plan girls trips. A few of my female cousins and co-workers call it their birthday month and expect to be treated good with gifts and things like that the entire month.

They don’t. Personal experience doesn’t translate across an entire gender.

Lol you know why silly because you give her cheap ones. No im just teasing

Im kinda the same way .
I mean i don't feel guilty. I just wish they wouldn't about me something.
Because i'm embarrassed by i mean not even embarrassed. I just feel weird when people buy me stuff

Not all guys feel that way, and the ones who do might have differing motivations. I don’t really want my girlfriend to spend a lot on gifts.

He possibly feels that he didn't get her as good of a gift. He doesn't know how to just accept the present, and not feel obligated to get her something as expensive.

I don't feel guilty, but I feel a bit embarassed if the gift has high monetary value and maybe we haven't been together for long.

Thst said, unless it's something really expensive I accept it and thank her.
