Why Your Partner Might Hate the Gifts You Give Them. Ep.58

We made a booboo!

Episode 58 is coming out before 57. With the last few weeks being sick and going through life we edited the wrong episode.Β 

In Episode 58 of Dialog Over Drama, we dive into a surprisingly layered conversation about what it means to give gifts and their intent.

A big theme in the episode is that people express gifting differently. Danny often brings Courtney small things throughout the week when he sees something in the moment that she may enjoy. To him, those spontaneous gestures are meaningful gifts.

Courtney, on the other hand, grew up in a household where gift giving was tied to holidays and special occasions, so she sometimes expects gifts to appear in that format.

One of the deeper parts of the episode explores the darker side of gift giving in situations where people give gifts to apologize without accountability, cover up bad behavior, buy forgiveness or manipulate someone into moving past a conflict.

When a gift is used to replace a real conversation or avoid responsibility, it stops being meaningful.
