Few years ago, my boyfriend gave me a luxury watch for my birthday. I did wear it out and about but now he wants me to wear it purposely to my workplace just to “show it off” to my colleagues. I told him that I can’t as it would seem like an unsuitable place to wear it. Also, I do think that you should maintain a certain professionalism at your workplace.
He said that I wasn’t appreciative of the things that he gave me and he feels that I am abit embarassed about it. He also states that i don’t show it off on my social media unlike other girls who would share it in a heartbeat.
Also, he owns a few luxury cars and he states that he would like to pick me for lunch at my workplace just to show his cars off to my colleagues. We fought about it as I told him not to as this would create some gossip in my workplace.
My boyfriend states that he loves to show off his achievements due to his past childhood. He was bullied due to his poor family background and was always looked down upon by his relatives. He believes that once you are rich, people would look up to you more and everything you said is valid. Which is true in our society and I feel sad about it. I also tell him that i prefer to be more reserved about my things but he doesn’t understand. He said that i should be proud of the things he gave me.
Psa: sorry for the long post. I’m not trying to brag but i would like to seek some advice regarding this as this has always been a topic of argument everytime we brought it up. Thanks <3
