My boyfriend often makes comments about little things he wishes I'd do for him: wear perfume, wear "flowy" clothes, listen to alt music etc. These things are not my cup of tea; I'm sensitive to fragrance so perfume gives me a headache, flowy clothes look terrible on my figure. I listen to the music he wants me to, but I just don't like it.
The issue is that for every holiday and gift giving occasion, I put a lot of thought into a personal gift that I know my boyfriend will love and he gets me something that I don't like, but he wants me to like, like perfume, flowy clothes, and tickets to alt concerts. Then he sulks if I am not appreciative enough. He was so pissed that I refused to wear the perfumes he bought me because they gave me a headache.
For Christmas, he bought me 3 dresses that aren't my style and don't flatter my body at all, but I wore one of them anyway. When my boyfriend saw it, he made a comment that it didn't look the way he pictured it and then he got sulky.
I'm at my wits end with this. I feel bad for being so materialistic and being upset over gifts, but I'm annoyed that he expects me to bend over backward to appreciate things that he knows I won't like. How do I handle this?
Tl;dr my boyfriend keeps buying me gifts that he wants me to use, even though he knows I won't like them
