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
Going off that "love languages" thing, she might show her love mostly through gifts, and expects that he does the same.
Yeah true didn't think like that
I hope love languages aren't BS. It's such a cool model, lol
Why are you getting upset over this? He probably didn't know what to get you.
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?
Let it go, you sure sound materialistic. Remember it's a holiday of giving, not about receiving.
He can also give his time and do something with her. if you dont celebrate, you should say it before. What he is doing, is disrespectful.
@kim45456 How is it disrespectful? They only been together for 6 months. It's not like 25 years together
6 months is enough time to tell what you like or what you dont like, instead of waiting till Christmas to not give any gifts. Usually people give each other gifts and so she does not question much. If you dont like what the norm does, you have to tell your SO. It is the same with wanting kids. Majority of people want kids, and if you dont want, you can't wait till marriage to tell your SO you dont want any kids
@kim45456 It must be a female thing. It's only six months.
If you’re not getting treated the way you want or feel like you’re getting the short end of the stick you need to move on
Maybe Christmas and the whole gift giving thing is just not for him. Have you talked to him about it?
Some guys are just not into the Christmas gift thing or any gifts for that matter. Friends in the bloke.
Open communication, be honest about the expectations you had and that you don't like to be left hanging.
If you received no special gesture or gift, you might want to have a talk and think if this is what you want for you're futur
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? 😂
Better yet, just hold off on expensive gifts until he starts giving a little more. That way you won't have high expectations.
He sounds cheap and/or inconsiderate. He really should be giving you a Christmas present unless he has a really good excuse.
Ignore it. It is only an outdated, pointless tradition.
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
Possibly a break up cause could signs he’s has another woman.
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.
Maybe he's not in a good financial state or ordered something online and it didn't come yet so he wants to keep it a surprise
Sounds like you need to leave that moocher. Your going to be carry all his weight and dont be surprise if he cheats.
