If it’s just about gifts, then it’s no big deal. Some people are just bad gift givers yet they are wonderful people. But it’s rarely just about that.

For me bad gift giving would be irritating but not a deal breaker at all and wouldn’t even be a red flag as people could improve or there are other solutions and who cares about gifts but......

But if I wasn’t able to speak about it, it would be a red flag. Either a sign that’s something I need to work on like learning speaking my mind, perhaps I need to see a therapist. Or a red flag that this man is just wrong for me. There is nothing I can’t say to my husband. I am rarely afraid to speak up but I dated men with whom I didn’t feel comfortable speaking my mind. Needless to say they didn’t up being my husbands. The level of comfort and openness just wasn’t there for me

Where do you think this relationship going? Do you think there is a future there?
