ok.. this is getting wierd

**Landri** · 06-24-2012, 12:08 AM

My GF just came back to Chile (after 5 looooooooong months away) and she bring me an starter kit from AOS... nice gift right? Then she bought me some pipe tobacco and some new cigars (she even talk with the tobacco store owner and "push him" till he remember what kind of tobacco I smoke).
The kit is an ok behavior, the tobacco.. well, is more than lovely... but last night she told me that she would like to learn to use my DE... just to shave me from time to time...
Now... she is a great GF or she did something really awful on those 5 months away from me???

I think she is just being nice ( or is having a bad conscious about a bad thing)

**Landri** · 06-24-2012, 12:22 AM

Alex... you are not helping... :P

**Artimid** · 06-24-2012, 03:37 AM

Hrmm... enjoy it while you can, if nothing happens in 6 months, take her out somewhere awesome for dinner and buy her a thing? :) But, on the other hand, she might just be one of those people who show their happiness by buying random stuff for people. So again, enjoy it now and if the other shoe doesn't drop, take her out on an anniversary of "being back" after a while, (not to say wait for it to drop, but in the back of your mind). But again, make sure to get her a thing or things for coming back safely and thinking about you.

Man O man. She sounds like a keeper. Not only does she buy you shave gear, she even lets you smoke both a pipe and cigars!!!. My then GF and now wife made me give up the weed. This lead on to giving up booze aswell.

hmmm, that's a tough question. I"m not sure that you're going to be well served by throwing it out on a shave forum.

If I may, here' s what we know:

Your Girl Friend is giving you some nice gifts.
She is showing an interest in your hobby.
She has an interest in pampering you.

Also:

A Five months separation is stressful to both individuals and also their relationship..
You don't know what her motivation is for these unprecedented gifts.
Although you appreciate the gifts, you have some degree of discomfort with her change in behavior upon her return.

My recommendation is that you seek out some counseling from a trained counselor or therapist so you can sort out these variables with a neutral, unbiased third party. I'm in no way suggesting that there is anything wrong, but am suggesting that you (and she) have experienced a stressful time after which there is some discomfort between the two of you.

Best of Luck

Welcome her back. Accept the gifts. Get closer together.

Don't worry about the past. She is home. Enjoy today and plan for tomorrow.

I share Turtle's wisdom.

**Landri** · 06-24-2012, 07:29 AM

That is what I would do!!

So let's say she did do something to feel guilty for... that's not so uncommon. Nobody is perfect. But if so, at least she DID feel guilty. It would be worse if she DIDN'T feel guilty, don't you think?

Then again it is likely that nothing happened that you need to worry about. Relax and enjoy being treated like a king. Your GF, guilty or not, is still a cut above the average. I wish mine was even half that good.

Don't read too much into it--accept the love and the gifts.

**ladykate** · 06-24-2012, 10:16 AM

We over-think these things. Worse case for you is that something happened. If you can handle that, then don't worry about it and don't question it. If it wouldn't matter anyway, then enjoy your companion and make the most of life. She sounds like she wants you in her life - the only way that would get screwed up is if you dissected things too much. Greet her with a smile and teach her how to shave... yippee!

**Mike'sWorld** · 06-24-2012, 10:24 AM

Don't look beyond the obvious. She's a keeper, honor her and make her happy. I not sure why you would want to do otherwise.

**Skyrider55** · 06-24-2012, 10:44 AM

Yes, don't over think it. +1 on what turtle said. It is possible she just missed the hell out of you during your time apart and is showing her gratitude for being together again. I know when I spend time away from my wife it's always wonderful to see her again. She sounds like a keeper to me.

**drocu** · 06-24-2012, 10:54 AM

Just welcome her back with loving arms.

Also, if she went to all of that trouble to figure out what you like, I'm guessing she's probably savvy enough to cyber stalk you and read this forum

As long as nothing "shows up" on the Internet, your good. ;)

**Shaving_CHENG** · 06-24-2012, 05:07 PM

Tenga con las chilenas. Yo fui por dos anos a Chile con la Armada, y volvi casado y cagado - un dia, me desperte y me rendi. Las chilenas son hermosas, ricas, y peligrosas! Suerte! But sounds like you have someone who truly gets you. That's about all you can ask for in life!

So glad it worked out for you. Sounds like you have a great gal. I do too and I'm very thankful that she's in my life.

Though I appear to be in the minority, I'm kind of big on fidelity. I've never cheated on a GF and would really want to know if one had cheated on me so that I could make an honest and informed choice. A lot of the fellas seem rather relaxed about it. I'm surprised by this. Which is not to say they're wrong. Just a different point of view.
