I'm going to make my boyfriend buy me a valentines day present. Am I being too pushy of a girlfriend?
Don't you think the partner should choose to buy you a present on their own?
I think they should, but if they don't, I don't mind setting him straight.
People give other people gifts because they choose to express their love. Forcing your bf to get you a valentine's day present can be seen as inconsiderate of his right to make his own decisions. Imposing your will on your bf could create resentment towards you on his part.
Still, I'm a girl, he's a guy. I have to take control of my life
Coming across as too controlling in making him buy you something could be deleterious to your relationship. You can drop hints but don't be forceful or he might take things the wrong way.
