Anyway, oh he, Says, well a few months 350 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 3: ago he got a hoodie from his. CYSTS i know 351 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 3: he loved it and it fits him like a. Glove, 352 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 3: later he told me not to wash it because he 353 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: might regift it to someone. ELSE i was, like why 354 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 3: would you do that if you like? It, also he 355 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 3: is a big and tall. Guy he doesn't have any 356 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 3: friends or family members in his, Size, like who are 357 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 3: you even going to gift it? To he wears it, 358 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 3: now said he would regret it if he gave it 359 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: to someone. Else so maybe his first instinct whenever he 360 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 3: gets a gift is just to give it. 361 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: Away, yeah he just always. Thinks he's, like It's i'm 362 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: starting a gift. 363 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 3: Train, yeah. Freely Luigi board THREE d, says this tells 364 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 3: me a. Lot first of, all it's obvious you each 365 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 3: have different emotional circuitry around gift, giving which is. NORMAL 366 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 3: i grew up in a family that loved through materialism 367 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: and put our heart and soul into. Gifts we also 368 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: got our sense of, worthiness, love and appreciation from the recipient's. 369 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: REACTION i have felt the devastation of someone regifting SOMETHING 370 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 3: i got them and it's a horrible feeling for. Sure 371 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: explore your own emotions and expectations around gifts and keep 372 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 3: communicating how you feel to, him and he needs to 373 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 3: listen and understand how hurtful it is to. You at 374 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 3: the same time he has his own. Issues my spouse 375 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 3: came from a poor culture where most consumer goods simply weren't. 376 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 3: Available christmas was an orange and handmade, socks and you liked. 377 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: It love was about providing for people and helping each other. 378 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 3: Survive que the marriage drama when they weren't as a 379 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 3: motive and dramatic and excited about the. GIFTS i put 380 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 3: a lot of thought into AND i received, boring practical 381 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: gifts that were on sale and reflected their interests and 382 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 3: idea of good, provision not. Mine after over a, decade 383 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 3: we both have deeper, introspection therapy and better, communication and 384 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 3: gifts have no pressure. Whatsoever we often don't even give them. 385 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 3: Anymore but this was a huge shift from my culture of, 386 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 3: origin AND i had to work through my own feelings 387 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 3: of not being appreciated or loved just because we had different. 388 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: Expectations there may be a clue in the fact that 389 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 3: he would give away something practical like a sweatshir that 390 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: he loved that fit him. Perfectly if he's quick to, 391 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 3: regift he may have underlying feelings of. Unworthiness some people 392 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 3: are raised that it is better to give than receive 393 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 3: and feel unworthy or selfish if they receive something beyond 394 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 3: their habitual. Class, subconsciously they often sabotage efforts that make 395 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 3: them feel like they're on the receiving end of. Charity 396 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 3: you may also have some haying ups around materialism or 397 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 3: having too much. Stuff maybe deep down he feels like 398 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 3: it's a child's toy and doesn't want to be seen 399 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: as a child but a good adult and father figure 400 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 3: the giver of, toys not the. Receiver same with your 401 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 3: mom and sisters still buying you clothes when you're a 402 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: grown button. Man the best thing is for each of 403 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 3: you to reflect on your, feelings, convictions and habits around 404 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 3: giving and receiving and their, origins and then share with 405 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 3: each other out of defying your relationship with gifts on 406 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 3: your own, terms throw out all you learn from your 407 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: families and, friends and decide how you two specifically want 408 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: to handle holidays in your, relationship and of, course explore 409 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 3: deeper person issues for which gifts are just the tip 410 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: of the. Iceberg you're, young and those deep issues can 411 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: end up solving a ton of problems if dealt with 412 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 3: at the. Root great, Comment love that agreed. Judgment not 413 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 3: the able, update but, YEAH i mean the answer to 414 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 3: this is.
