Is it normal to feel the need to give things to my boyfriend constantly?
I feel a need to give my boyfriend gifts every day I see him. If I don't have anything to give I feel sad and keep apologizing. I bring extra money to school every day when I can (my parents told me I need to stop because we as a family are running a bit low on money, but I look around the house, find coins and dollars around and sneak them in) and give him enough to buy lunch. Sometimes if I can't get enough money I skip lunch myself and give him all of my money.
He tells me I really don't need to do this but I feel I HAVE to. I used to buy him a snack every day and bring it to school for him, be it candy, energy drink, etc. I draw him pictures as often as I can to add on to the gifts I give him. In fact, I have a drawing in my bag prepared for tomorrow.
He has asked to BORROW two things from me, a PS2 controller and a flash drive. I insisted he keep both. I would feel bad taking them back.
IIN?
