The woman from this story has discovered that her boyfriend was actually capable of noticing that someone deserved a special gesture, imagining what would make them feel cared for, spending time and money to do it, and following through. Sadly, that someone wasn't her.
Sometimes we lie to ourselves and think our significant others don't do certain things because they don't know how, and in situations like these, we realize they always knew how; they just didn't want to do them for us.
I'm a big believer in actions speaking louder than words; you just have to learn to interpret them and act on them as soon as possible. This woman's boyfriend is explicitly showing who he wants to care for, and it's not her. I think that gesture is enough to confirm that.
Notice how he didn't say 'I thought it would be nice', he said 'She deserves it', subtly implying his girlfriend doesn't. Meanwhile, she was going through some really big changes, but apparently, that doesn't make her deserving of flowers. Knowing her boyfriend for about ten minutes did, though.
Hey, we can't conclude he doesn't love his girlfriend only from this, but I would definitely keep an eye on him. To be fair, he might be more inclined to be thoughtful at his job because that's where his passion is, and he has a leading role.
We should always be mindful of what our parents spontaneously do for us, and if that never includes a thoughtful gesture, when they are perfectly capable of doing those for other people, then that's a red flag to look out for, in my opinion.
Do you think this is the beginning of the end for this couple? Or are we all exaggerating? Is this boyfriend just being nice? Have you ever been in a situation like this?
