It was apparently located on the outskirts of the city, had a rating of 2.8 out of 5, and plenty of bad reviews referencing mold and broken heaters.
“It looked like the kind of dodgy place you take your affairs,” she revealed.
Now, she acknowledged how calling her boyfriend’s booking “cheap” might just seem like a petty or shallow complaint. However, she does not want to feel like she has to coach her boyfriend through how to make her feel special after she has already spent a lot of time and money making him feel good.
After all, he reportedly never does any “little things” for her– like picking up a small gift or snack or cooking for her. She also pays her own way whenever they go out because she doesn’t want to “burden” him.
It’s not like her boyfriend is struggling to make ends meet, either. According to her, he makes six figures a year– which is twice her salary– and has already paid off his home.
“So I suppose I fixated on the cheapness of the hotel since money is the one thing he seems to have control over, and this was his chance to do something special for me,” she vented.
Yet, he opted to spend $140 on an anniversary hotel– where she was forced to bring her own sheets and plug in her laptop just to watch Netflix. So, she admitted to feeling pretty heartbroken over how her boyfriend opted to spend their first anniversary. And now, she is even thinking that it may be time to end the relationship.
Do you think it is “shallow” to expect your partner to put effort into romantic gestures? What about on an anniversary? How would you have felt in this situation? Do you think she can reconcile the relationship?
