My boyfriend didn't get me a gift for my birthday. Am I in the wrong for being upset? (Page 2)

He could have picked you some wild flowers, made a card with pencil crayons, cooked a meal with whatever is in the house, made your bed extra nice, made you a hot bath - he surely didn’t need to be so arrogant and defensive.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

No, you had every right to be mad/upset at him *Hugs*

Ok to be upset, he could have marked your birthday in some way cheaply.

But then he offered his time by coming around.

And you caused an argument.

However, is guess he's a taker. Depression can do that.

[Imsmurter1]

You are right to be upset. Procrastination is not an excuse. Also why are you dating a broke, depressed hobo anyway? He can't even like take you out to ice cream or something? And he even thought about punching you? Wtf is this loser?

[domenico07]

I am awkward about getting gifts. I’d prefer not to receive gifts. But if gifts are the way that make you feel loved and appreciated, then if I were you, I would speak up and have a conversation with him about it

[Fireguy17]

nope, he is an ass hat for forgetting, or just too lazy to do something for you.
Time for someone else that will appreciate you.

[vduong1988]

yeah you have to get upset cause your boyfriend get anything for you for your birthday it would be nice gift he would write a poem for you and flowers from the garden

[art84]

Sounds like he would have punched if he got mad enough. Sounds like he should get help for his anger and depression as it could get worse then what it already is.

[Rockstarrrrr]

I don't want to be so negative and cynical and say dump him... But if you ask me I'd say yeah dump him... dump him right away..

[FilmGuy93]

You got way too aggressive about this situation, but your initial frustration is reasonable.

[rienna888]

yeah, it means he's cheap and he's not nice to u

[ZenJen444]

He doesn't like you. Did you read what you typed? You had to ask him to go over then he brought over a gift from his mom. He doesn't like you

[cloud9vortex1234]

I think he's just upset he's in the circumstances he's in. That's still no excuse to threaten violence on his part.

[MountAverage]

You need to break up immediately. He's abusive and toxic.

[Anonymous]

He sounds like he has some things he needs to sort out. Not getting you a gift is the least concerning part of your post.

Well... i don't know what else to say except Go find a new boyfriend, who has more money?

[Papabubbles]

What did you get him for his birthday?

[Asker]

I paid for a fancy couples massage for us both on his bday, which was literally a month into our relationship. It was not cheap

[Papabubbles]

Than you have a right to be upset. Reason I asked my ex got mad because I didn't make a big deal out of hers, because when mine came every year she went on a continuing education trip that the way she described was more of a drunkin party.

[moonpie89]

I'd leave.

Whatever!
