My boyfriend didn't get me a Christmas gift, how should I handle this? (Page 2)

Question

My boyfriend and I are having our 6 month anniversary on New Year's, so we've been together a while. My birthday was last month, and he didn't give me a present, but he took me out to dinner so I was happy. For Christmas, though, I bought the two of us tickets to a concert by his favorite band and gave them to him over a week ago. I actually wrapped them and said, "this is your Christmas present from me." Tomorrow I leave for my parents' house for the holidays, though, and I still haven't received anything from him. He hasn't even mentioned gifts. I'm not usually materialistic, but I spent around $50 on those tickets and put a lot of thought and effort into getting them. We've been having trouble lately, too, but I thought we had agreed to work through it. This, though, makes me feel unappreciated and hurt. How should I bring this up so that he doesn't think I'm being crazy?

Maybe he's just not into gifts or will after new years when you're back you'll have your gift

SotiCoto · Answer

How tedious. Just tell him. If you can't do that much then what are you even in a relationship for?

Alex-Snow · Answer

Maybe Christmas and the whole gift giving thing is just not for him. Have you talked to him about it?

WhereAmI · Answer

I didn't start giving gifts until after 1 year in a relationship, so dont feel so bad. Maybe get him a little Scrooge figurine? 😂

Stop being such a jerk  Boyfriend doesn't have to give u a gift.  What should matter is y'all relationship and love together.  Not gifts

BurlyMan · Answer

Why are you getting upset over this? He probably didn't know what to get you.

Jaxon2020 · Answer

If money isn't an issue for him it seems kind of careless that he didn't get you some kind of gift. However on the chance he's atheist, or not Christian he may not celebrate Christmas. Did he and his family exchange gifts?

humanearth · Answer

Let it go, you sure sound materialistic. Remember it's a holiday of giving, not about receiving.

He sounds cheap and/or inconsiderate. He really should be giving you a Christmas present unless he has a really good excuse.

Is it a financial issue maybe he just doesn't have it right now. What trouble have you guys been going through maybe that has something to do with it

You should thank him for not supporting child sex and sacrifice on the sun gods birthday. You're welcome!

Yeah that’s odd, some guys don’t give gifts it seems even though they should, maybe you ask him about it since you have been together 6 months

He's broke or maybe he'll offer you his dick in a box.

Be patient. He may have something secretly planned up his sleeves.
