Why do you care so much about the price? If he got you a box of shit but it cost $1000 would you be happy? Sounds like it. You should be glad he got you a gift at all, that he even remembered your birthday. Also you shouldn't give a gift expecting to receive a gift. That's not the point. You give someone a gift because you care about them and want to get them something, not because you want them to get you something. Get your head straight
but wouldn't you rather have a guy that truly loved you and got you what he got you, rather than dating a guy who just got you expensive things to make you shut up and not actually care for you?
I asked this because iT might be possible that he gave only these gifts to you and might also have cooked diner and stuff you know. He could've brought you to The club with HIM too tho'. Anyways i do understand where you're coming from But a gift doesn't mean that you need to spend all your money on iT either. Don't be too mad about this situation maybe he'll surprise you afterwards
Of course they did, most people on this site are judgmental. To give advice you need to have a balanced mind and most people are clearly showing that they don't. They're projecting some animosity from some area of their lives. To call me a bitch is unjustifiable and clearly crude but again judgmental and not here to give advice but to satisfy some sick area of their lives where they have been wronged. Mainly the guys
Love what you just Said! Everytime i ask advice to friends or anyone they based their oppinion on what they've been through, while not everyone gone through the same thing. Don't mind The mean comments sweetie. Just talk to HIM about this, let HIM know how you feel, But don't make HIM feel bad. He probably has his oWn reasons too.
Well we are meeting tonight to talk about things. It's true people based the advice they give on what they have been through, which usually isn't a bad thing but when they become bitter it's a reflection on that person. Any who lol I will update once we speak :)
Remember. Man does not think like a woman what if he was saving up for an engagement ring and your birthday was before that? It the thought that counts in any situation.
Maybe he should just break up with your selfish ass and then you won't have to worry about his "horrible" gifts. At least he remembered your birthday and took the time to get you something. Stop being so petty.

Well considering he didn't get me anything last year- I was cool with that. Then this year I got him a sentimental gift which I saved for, this being a post grad student. He works and went partying with his boys all weekend prior to my birthday so he clearly saw his social life as a priority, he partied every weekend so clearly can't be that skint. He clearly got me those things thinking that's something I would be ok with. Maybe you would be ok with a guy like that.

Just be thankful he remembered. Most guys don't.
Guys always remember my birthday
Count yourself lucky then.
I'm sorry but you are so ungrateful...
I'm not gonna waste any more time explaining, everyone else has said plenty. Listen to them.
You need to be thankful he did remember and got you those things. Some people get nothing.
but wouldn't you rather have a guy that truly loved you and got you what he got you, rather than dating a guy who just got you expensive things to make you shut up and not actually care for you?
Most girls complain that they never get flowers so
I'm not most girls
Can u explain what he exactly did for you on your birthday?
Went clubbing with his mates and went clubbing every weekend prior so his finances can't be that dyer

I didn't want an expensive gift, he didn't have to spend a penny because it would have come from the heart and been special but he didn't try
I understand you i don't think you are being
ungratefull either. I think most people who are commenting here mis understood your point

Unless your boyfriend demanded the same from you, then the "situation" is irrelevant.
Yh maybe

You're the type of women that make it so easy for guys that they don't think they have to try anymore.
You deal with it two ways.
