Hi All-
Okay, I need serious help here. My boyfriend of 4 over years and I have broken up because he wants me to do some serious thinking on what I want out of life. To make a long story short, we are having some difficulties in figuring out if we want the same things in life (where we want to live and such). Let me stress here that we are NOT on bad terms and we still talk. Our break up/separation was handled very maturely, there was no sort of fighting/screaming/name calling, etc...this happened over a month ago. We have both agreed we need to be apart for quite awhile to really think about things. I love him very much and miss him immensely, but I am trying to be strong and objective, because as he has said, he doesn't want me to make any rash decisions and then feel resentment towards him later on.
So here is my problem. His 25th birthday is in about a week and a half. I am very confused about whether or not I should do anything or buy him anything. He has been extremely generous to me and has always given me everything (several months ago for my birthday he got me ALCS Tigers tickets, plus an LV bag, plus some other small things). Before we broke up, he showed me this $800 Raymond Weil watch that he really liked and I am debating whether getting this would be a nice thing to do for him, because I really do love him and think he deserves it, or whether it is completely innapropriate. I am not rich by any means, but I could afford it if I really decided I wanted to do it and thought it was a good idea.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
