Making a supposedly sentimental gesture based on a expectation to do so kinda takes all the meaning out of it, doesn't it? If it's not extemporaneous, it's not worth it.
Who said in lieu of love? I said instead of flowers. And if flowers are a gesture of love then why can’t diamonds be? I think you’re confusing my reply.
I think you’ll find that has lot has evolved and improved since those days. So much more control at both ends of the industry. But they aren’t for everyone. And I respect that.
Buy the flowers, dude. He’s so immature and petty that when asked for a simple gesture he bucks it so hard that he has come up with bullshit reasons to not buy flowers. The meaning behind the gesture means nothing to the girlfriend. She just wants the flowers. It’s such an easy request.
A person’s love language is how YOU should treat them. If her love language is giving gifts, you give the gifts. If yours is acts of service, your girlfriend does the act of service. You cannot force someone to accept your love language. If this is so hard, find someone more compatible.
Everything in life is temporary. You could say that from the moment we are born we begin dying. Does that make life less meaningful? The ephemeral nature of the flowers he gives to her could make them seem more beautiful and worthy of appreciation while they are here.

Weekly flowers 💐 delivered = $60-$100, average $4160 yr. I agree with BF: Fresh cut 💐 = dead flowers 💐 that quickly wilt, make a mess.
Demanding weekly flowers 💐 is silly. Occasional surprise 💐 are preferable.
After 3 years, perhaps give her a 💍 instead of 💐? Or leave?
