AITAH for buying my girlfriend vanilla shampoo?
This is other people OP:
I would’ve thought it was sexy and cute. You’re not the AH at all.
The most romantic thing my husband did for me was buy me a personal pizza with olives on it because I told him I like it but hadn’t ordered one in years because I just eat what everyone else likes and they don’t like olives. We were talking about something else and I just casually mentioned it as an aside. Three weeks later I came home and it was sitting on our kitchen island with a heart drawn on the box.
It wasn’t the pizza. It was confirmation that he was listening to me and not just paying attention to his phone.
Being attentive is important.
I thought I was being sexy and cute too! She’s my first real relationship, so I acknowledge that I’m inexperienced here, but I thought it was a very innocent way to flirt. It’s not like I bought her underwear.
It’s a very very cute way to flirt. Don’t be disheartened and make sure you do it for your next GF, she’ll love it.
She’s kind of rude and awful. That was sweet and you find her sexy and the scent reminds you of her.
NTA. What on earth? You did something nice. She should have said thank you. My husband comments if he likes my perfume. She presumably buys the vanilla scented shampoo because she also likes the smell. Making it out like you’re some weird freak for also liking the smell is wild. It’s like she was looking for something to fight about.
Yeah, I don’t get it. Liking certain smells is normal, right? Isn’t that the point of scented things? And perfume? It’s not a creepy thing to like.
I had a partner who specifically loved when I used green tea scented products.
Knowing that was a boost for me, and even though we’re not together now, I still feel a boost with that scent.
Exactly! The entire perfume industry is based on…what again?
It’s beyond normal. It’s so normal, we shouldn’t be having this conversation. Either this is some really bad attempt at gaslighting or she’s legit got a screw loose.
Your girlfriend is a bit of an ungrateful loon. You showed her that you pay attention to her and the brands she uses AND that you like how she smells and she finds a way to make this weird? I don’t like your girlfriend
Edit: Thank you for the award, fellow redditor:)
