It’s important to have some conversations before initiating a romantic relationship so that you get to understand your potential partner better and identify what you can tolerate, and what you can’t.
Introverts often find solace in their own personal space, where only certain people are allowed to be. However, when it comes to a relationship, can you accept a dating life that’s almost 24/7 spent at home? A Malaysian woman recently expressed her dissatisfaction via a post by MY (Malaysia) about her partner who enjoys spending quality time at home too much.
Expensive wallet? I want a candlelight dinner!
According to the woman, date nights on weekends usually mean movie nights at home for her BF.
“He surprises me with other things too sometimes, which is sweet but can’t we just go out for date night for once?”
The man found peace too much at home, so much so that he spent Valentine’s Day with her at his house too, but not without a gift. He gave her a wallet worth 5 figures but still, staying indoors on Valentine’s Day night did not sit well with the woman.
To her, not all days are meant to be spent at home, certainly not Valentine’s Day night.
“I was so mad. Everyone out there was having candlelight dinner with their partners and all I got was a wallet! It sucks to have a BF who loves staying at home!”
Do you think she’s asking for a little too much? Netizens thought so, as many of them said that she should’ve felt grateful for what she had, despite how much her partner loves staying in.
“You’re really ungrateful.”
“I like this kind of partner.”
“Give me a dozen of BF like him.”
“I really want a guy like this.”
“It’s good that he prepared a gift for you. Be grateful, he’s much better than other guys out there.”
“I think your BF is not bad, have you ever thought of giving him away to others?”
“This is considered good. Yes, he enjoys being at home but perhaps he just enjoys his personal space with you. As for candlelight dinner, if he’s not into it, perhaps you could arrange it as a surprise. A candlelight dinner is not necessarily a surprise from the guys.”
Can you accept a partner whose love language is spending quality time at home with you?
