Sometimes I feel like, though, that I can do no right in your eyes.
About the pillows, it wasn't that I didn't buy them out of selfishness. I didn't buy them because I thought she was testing me to see how much she could take advantage of me, to see whether I was respectable. I didn't buy the pillows because I wanted to maintain her respect. She does after all make about as much money as I do now. Maybe that was the wrong choice, but I'm trying my best to do the right things. I don't have all the answers, and I'm not sure anyone does.
I dont think 25 was talking about whether or not you actually purchased the pillows. Honestly, thats not that important. Let me attempt to rephrase:
You said you would buy them if "she will continue hanging out with me for several days and continue being nice." Buy them or dont, but dont do it as a bribe. That reads like it's falling back into old patterns of weighing everything against her reaction. It's like saying, "Ill only buy them for you if it puts 17 drops into your love tank". Life doesnt work that way - you have to decide without knowing the results from her. The reasons you give ^^^ are fine reasons to not buy them. So what is the purpose of telling her what you did instead?
