*******************

So lately I have been feeling less than special when it comes to my relationship with Matt. I don�t know if we have finally reached a rut but I am getting bored, not with him per say just with certain aspects of our relationship. We hardly go out, a typical night consists of me going over to his apartment, we watch TV maybe eat some dinner and then I go to sleep around 9:30 PM while he stays up until 12:30-1 AM�we don�t even go to bed at the same time so we never have any of that good couple snuggling time. Plus, he has told me on numerous occasions that he doesn�t like me spending the night too often because he likes having the bed to himself (he only has a double). Well, now that makes me feel loved and wanted. I continually feel like Im fawning over him, telling him how cute he is and how much I love him and not getting much in return, or only getting it in return after I have already said it.

I know this is going to sound super petty but he never buys me anything either. We go dutch whenever it comes to food and such but where as I love to buy him little gifts and other such things he saves all of his spending for major holidays and even then the presents tend to be lacking. I can�t tell if I am just being lame or if I have grounds to bring any of this up. Is it polite to say �You never take me out and by the way, buy me more gifts�? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Unrelated test update: I take my first practice test tonight to just how much I suck so my confidence is totally shot for Monday.
