Women of Reddit, do you ever feel a little guilty when your significant other tries to spoil you?

With the way I was raised yes I do feel guilty and in many ways uncomfortable about it because it's not something I'm used to. Even with all the messed up stuff my parents may have done and even myself, the one thing they were always adamant about were no handouts. If you want something bad enough you'll figure out a way to get it so growing up my sense of accomplishment has always been measured by what I can do for myself. It might not be a reasonable feeling but part of me always feels undermined when my SO buys me something I wanted to buy for myself simply because I want to be able to say I worked hard for what I have and it's almost like a sense of security knowing when push comes to shove I will be able to provide for myself.
