A Singaporean man is reconsidering his two-month relationship after his girlfriend expects him to read her mind, anticipate her needs, and spend significant amounts of money on gifts and dates. In a post on r/sgdatingscene, the man expressed frustration over communication issues, the cost of gifts, and her mood changes during her period.
He recounted a birthday celebration where he bought her silver jewellery, took her to a restaurant with a view, and got her a cake and chocolates. However, the girlfriend reportedly expressed disappointment with the silver jewellery, preferring gold, and later wanted a more expensive gift. The man also spends money on transportation, renting a vehicle to pick her up after work and drive her home.
Commenters on the post urged him to reevaluate the relationship if it doesn't change, warning about the "princess syndrome" that often worsens with time. Many emphasized that a partner should communicate their needs, and the expectation of the partner to "magically know what she wants" is a major red flag.
