Hey guys, I'm 21 and in my first relationship going on about 1 year. this may not seem like a nothing thing, but my girlfriend was making me a sweater as a late x-mas present. She sent me a video of the nearly finished product, and I said that "I'm not a fan of big sleeves but regardless it looks wonderful. She has now said back to the drawing board and that was the last thing she said. I have been saying that I love it and love her for the past like 25 hours periodically with only seen being the response.

Is it over bros? Do I go back to my chud life? She also sent me a reel about how sweaters can relationships beforehand.

You fucked up so bad they are going to write epics about your failures.

You didn’t fuck anything up, you were just brutally honest. It probably annoyed the fuck out of her that she has to redo an entire sweater to accommodate your preference, but it’s a harmless annoyance. She will redo it and will feel satisfied that she was able to get it perfect. The fact she is willing to do that for you shows the amount of care she has for you.

I think you did the right thing by being honest. It means your reaction and appreciation of the finished sweater will be genuine and satisfying for her instead of if you had forced to pretend to like the long sleeve one. No one likes people pleasers who pretend to be pleased in order to please others. Honesty is king. Women respect men who know what they want.

Was it pretty insensitive? Yeah
Would I end a relationship over it? No

I would try to talk it out with her. Apologize explaining that you understand that you messed up, that gifts need to be cherished, that you're super thankful for her making this for you and that you're going to do better next time.

Really dude you can't be picky with gifts. The sweater doesn't even matter. It's the fact that she made something for you. She put time into it. Peoples time is valuable. Whenever someone gives me their time, it's one resource they cannot get back and have very little of. It shows care. It shows love. It's not about the sweater it's about the time she put into YOU. So, learn from this. It's not the end of the world, and she shouldn't make it the end either. Be an adult about it and own it and you two move on and be happy.

I have apologized over the sweater but she has not responded maybe I should just give her time?

Time is probably what she needs. Though I hate that shit. I personally cannot handle it when my partner needs time. But you guys are young and beautiful, she'll probably come back to you and give you a chance to explain yourself.

Thanks for the advice bros.

Very non-commital to still call it a "relationship" a 1 year. It's not much of anything if you haven't seen her in person for 25 hours.

Better than my cunt ex who I specifically told I don't want joggers for Christmas when she said I'd look good in them, bought me a pair anyway, then acted shocked and offended I wasn't over the moon about it
