It’s normal for couples to exchange gifts even if there is no special occasion. So there’s nothing wrong when a woman asks her boyfriend for something. This is what a woman in California did, but she didn’t receive what she asked for. She shared in a video how she had been with her boyfriend for three months. Since the beginning of their relationship, she had been asking him to bring her flowers. It seems like a simple request, but for some reason, her boyfriend refuses to do it. What he did instead was give her one origami flower. This paper one made her think that he would give her real flowers soon. This didn’t happen either.
When Christmas came, the California woman was convinced that she would finally receive her flowers. Imagine her surprise and disappointment when she got yet another paper flower. While she appreciated the effort her boyfriend surely did to make the paper flowers, she still wanted real ones. She reached the point where she believes that she would never receive flowers from him. It’s not like it was a communication issue either because she brought this up dozens of times. This continuous disappointment made her ask people on the internet if she had the right to be mad. Well, the internet definitely sided with her. This relationship might come to an end, though, because according to the girlfriend’s last update, he still didn’t give her flowers, and they are now spending a few days without contact.
People Reacting to the California Woman’s Video
With everything the California woman said, hundreds of people told her to leave her boyfriend. Many believed that he was not bringing her flowers on purpose, as one woman wrote, “It’s a control issue and you don’t feel heard.” When one person tried to defend the boyfriend, another person replied, “they are $15 at Walmart. Or even $10. Hes intentionally not doing what shes explicitly asked for. Shes literally telling him what she wants and hes doing everything in his power to not. No one’s trying to control anyone. She just wants damn flowers from her man.” Another woman had a very concise response as she asked her, “What about him is so necessary?” She didn’t have an answer for that.
Since the California woman hadn’t broken up with her partner yet, more people kept pointing out why she should do just that. “You need to take him saying ‘i like origami’ very seriously, he doesnt care what YOU like. He cared about what HE likes,” one woman wrote. Another woman also said, “I’m gonna hold your hand when I tell you this but you are begging to be seen by someone who is telling you without saying it that he won’t do the work to do so. It’s not you, it’s him! It is so easy to get fresh cut flowers. It takes 10 minutes. Things lack their value when you have to beg over and over.” That’s a good point. If he can’t do something as simple as buying flowers, then maybe he isn’t the one for her.
