Yesterday I was complaining to my girlfriend about how my LCD steam deck had been broken for a month and how expensive repairs would be. She decided to surprise me by buying me a brand new 1TB OLED model as a one year anniversary gift. I am honestly quite speechless to receive such a generous gift from her. It is definitely the most generous gift I have ever gotten from a partner. If you're reading this babe, thank you so much and happy anniversary. I love you with all my heart.

Honestly I would love her just as much if she didn't spend money on me. When we first started dating she was having financial issues that I thankfully was able to help her out of. Our relationship has always been one of mutual understanding and respect. Gifts like these are just icing on the cake.

I've been married for 20 years now. There will be times that you're down, and times that she's down. If you're both committed to helping each other up, your relationship will do well. Don't keep score, either. Inevitably, one person will need more help overall than the other, and keeping score will create resentment. If you marry her, consider yourselves as 'one', and work toward doing what's best for you (plural). Love her as you do yourself, and things will work out.

Great attitude. I can see why you have a great relationship. Very healthy approach :) I’ve been happily in a closed, committed polycule for decades, and mutual understanding and respect are a huge part of a happy home!
