Would it be a bad idea to buy my boyfriend a 3DS? >He really

Maybe you could choose a special edition based on something he likes? That shows it's more of a "thoughtful" gift and less of a "hey look at how I spoil you" gift.

My gf has bought me things like this from time to time (we are both pretty poor so we usually talk about it first) and it makes me feel good because I know it comes from a good place. But you need to make it clear you aren't buying it to show off, but to show you care and to give him a way to relax now and then.

Why the dubts? how can expensive gifts do any harm? if you can afford it and you don't think you will regret the money spent, then do it.

Yeah, his life is fucking miserable and I won't be anywhere near him until October and I want to do everything I can to make him happy.
He emphasised a game he wanted so I'll be getting him that as well.

I just have fears about him feeling extreme guilt or feeling like he owes me.

Your heart is in the right place. I can't imagine anyone being so upset about a gift like that to cause any damage.

You could always say it is to play together (if you don't have a 3DS yourself, you could get one. They are fun.)

I'll get one later so we can play Pokemon.

Thats a great plan, Pokemon is one of the ways I bond with my gf (we met via LDR too.) Past the LDR phase but we still play together.
