Search Results: spoiling a girlfriend

My previous boyfriend (now ex) expected great/elaborated meals, different soups, creative salads and other desserts. However, the fact that he was demanding and doing little in return (I was working too) to make me feel appreciated got me unmotivated quickly. I started switching back to simple dishes.

I've invited him a couple times to good places (sometimes also spoiled him with a good gift) and he didn't reciprocated. He used to focus on fancy things for himself only, always used discount tickets, wanted to go dutch even on my own b-day, never even gave his own mother a good gift for her b-day and wanted to stay at home on the weekends, doing nothing instead of going out and spending quality time... not move out of the bedroom.

If a boyfriend is acting like that and is a total cheapskate (while his girlfriend isn't) but expecting great desserts and meals to be served isn't that asking too much?

Or does it make your life more colorful?
Generally, the need for women to be noticed by their partners is enormous. They can do various to grab their partner's attention especially if the partners is a cool, busy, and quite man so it's difficult to be sensitive to what the woman wants without having to say it. And it makes women even more spoiled and childish when all she needs is extra attention that his partner doesn't understand.
