Search Results: first birthday ideas

First of all, we are in a very happy 3 year relationship and had been considerably best friends for 5 years before that. Full intentions of making it forever together, our families love and fully support our relationship. This is just a small part that bothers me and I'd like to approach it better with him and feel better about it.

I know keeping score in unhealthy but it's not the reason why I'm bringing it up. I have always felt as if I do more for him and it has always bothered me. I planned a few things for his birthday such as surprising him with concert tickets for himself and our friends, an NHL game, and a few small memorabilia items as well. I absolutely love spoiling him. It just makes me think about how I have never gotten something near as special or thoughtful from him.

I work two minimum wage jobs maybe 25 hours a week and am in my second year of university in pre-law, so money is very low on my half and it takes a lot for me to save for occasions like such because of my many other expenses at this time of my life. On his half of things, he works full time at Honda as one of their best level two techs, while also still making regular payments.

In the past I've gotten a very cute and special ring from him for my birthday (not important, but may help you help me, It was very inexpensive and broke), & a cardigan that I had tried on the one time we went shopping together, and he surprised me with it for Christmas. Other than that its the occasional ice cream or coffee ( maybe a couple times a month ). On my part of things I've dropped a few dimes on a build a bear, about five memorabilia items, quite a few shirts, NHL tickets, festival tickets, booze, food and dinners, bar nights, and movies. All for various things such as his birthday, Christmas, our anniversary's, and most of the time just because.

Is there anyone out there that could give me any opinions, thoughts, ideas, or just shed some light on the situation. Please & Thanks :)
