I've been with my bf for a couple months now. He is my FP. For Christmas I got him a couple of presents, so far totalling around $200. But there is something else I know he wants and would like the most, which would cost $500. Mind you, I am not wealthy (I work part-time at min wage basically). Financially, I really shouldn't buy this gift. But I am so tempted. In regards to our relationship, it has been very rocky recently. The logical side of me says it's a bad idea. But a stronger feeling within me is pushing me to get this gift, because he will love it, and he might love me more for getting it.

I was like this with exes, i.e. even if our relationship was not going well, I never skipped on expensive gifts. I got my ex an expensive watch - no particular occasion, actually we weren't even dating at the time; he was still my FP after that breakup, and as soon as I knew he wanted that watch I bought it for him.

Anyone else like this?
