Her Boyfriend Used To Get His Ex-Girlfriend Expensive Presents All The Time, But Since He Doesn’t Do The Same For Her, She’s Thinking He Loved His Ex More
A 29-year-old girl is currently dating her 27-year-old boyfriend, but before they were together, her boyfriend dated his ex for more than 3 years.
She knows that her boyfriend was head over heels in love with his ex, and he went above and beyond for this girl.
“He was madly in love with her – he bought her everything she asked for, showered her with expensive gifts, and went the extra mile with his acts of service,” she explained.
“He prioritized her over his family and over himself, even going on leaves from work just to drive for her.”
“When she cheated on him a year and a half into the relationship, he didn’t confront her. He kept quiet and endured it all, hoping that she would change. He loved her that damned much.”
Now, she does think that her boyfriend is wonderful to her. Her boyfriend is kind, and he has gone out of his way to get to know her loved ones.
Her boyfriend prioritizes her happiness and always tells her to inform him if something is irritating her so he can fix it.
He really is an understanding, upstanding kind of guy, but there’s one big catch here for her.
“But in the 11 months that we’ve been dating, I can count with a single hand how many gifts he’s given me, all of them costing $15 or less,” she said.

“He doesn’t go the extra mile with acts of service either – just what’s convenient. He prioritizes himself and his family and tells me that he will never tolerate cheating again and will immediately break up with me if we ever have this issue.”
She does appreciate her boyfriend’s loyalty to himself and his family, and she doesn’t expect to be the number one person in his life as they are not married.
She has never stepped out on a previous partner, so she knows her boyfriend will never have a problem with her cheating on him. Those things don’t concern her, but she is concerned that it seems like her boyfriend was more devoted to his ex than he is to her.
“But sometimes it makes me feel sad because I feel like he gave 100% of himself to his ex despite her being a horrible person, while all he will be able to give me is 60% because ‘he has learned his lesson’ not to give all of yourself to someone,” she continued.
“Gift giving is my love language, and I always give him gifts, sometimes big things, and sometimes little sentimental trinkets, just to surprise him.”
“I also volunteer to do things for him and his family all the time. I guess I just… I just want someone to love me 100% because that’s what I give to every relationship.”
She’s wondering if she can quit feeling like her boyfriend was more in love with his ex than he is with her.
Do you think there’s a way for her to get past this?
