We set a budget every year it's easier that way. I suggest talking to her maybe set a budget?

I'd suggest talking to her just to get to know her better. If you feel you barely know someone after being with them for 6 months, then something is a bit amiss with the communication in your relationship. What interests does she have? Do you know her taste in music, entertainment etc.?

What do you enjoy doing together? You could get a couple of small gifts to open and then a voucher for a spa treatment, nice meal, airkix, hotel for a night etc....

You call her your 'other half'...but say you 'barely know her'?

I don't get it!

Well I can understand that if budgets vary wildly it could be embarrassing for some, to be honest, I just chose a couple of figures as an example, but come on, who doesn't like to get spoilt with some lovely gifts from their OH?

I didn't realise the OP was in a same sex relationship, hence my comments about boyfriends. paulineb is better informed than me. Not that that makes a scrap of difference to how you make the effort to get to know someone and treat them

We never bother exchanging gifts for birthdays or christmas. Nothing either of us really wants after living together for 20 odd years and with a joint bank account it just seems a bit pointless. Any spare money will go on the kids, towards the summer holiday or taking a chunk off the mortgage.

Bah humbug...

Some people don't like feeling that they're being bought.

I'm starting to feel old - been together 6 months, assume from the other comment that you're sleeping with her but you hardly know her?

You're not the only one feeling old at this comment. And I'm only 44

Well if people have an issue with their other half wanting to spoil them by buying them nice things because it makes them feel like a cheap wh*re then why would they be in a relationship? It all seems a bit pointless. If their partner praised and complimented them lots would they feel they were being lied to and manipulated?

My OH puts time and thought into getting me gifts he knows I'll appreciate - I look after him and the boys, keep a nice home and am the major earner, I don't see it as being bought, I think I'm worth the effort!
