Search Results: buying boyfriend present

So i'm dating this guy for 5 months, we used to be classmates for over 5 years, when we took our bachelor degree, we agreed on going to the same university, but our choice was far from home, i convinced my mum, while his dad was against it, he even said some hurtful stuff like "you're ruining your future because of her", i was hurt but didn't say anything tbh.

So we're now studying in different colleges, i came back home every vacation, he never came to my place actually, i wanted to show my friends my first boyfriend, so i invited him to this event, he promised me but he didn't keep it actually and my phone was broken at that, so dumbly he sent me a text telling me not coming, then we met at night, i was upset he made me even more by saying "my dad told me that family is important than her".

These stuffs happened two months ago, the real deal now, my birthday was last January and i wanted to be my first happy birthday since my birthdays were worst as hell, well i had to came back to my university, he sent me a really cute text but he didn't give me any present, so i didn't care much but still.

i mean it's not about money, he has enough money to buy even a flower I don't know anything makes me feel special at my day, because in his birthday, i made a surprise for him and he told me that he even cried because i wanted him to feel special on his day, but nevermind.

Valentine's Day is coming up next month and I've been thinking about what I should get my boyfriend. I really love when men wear cologne. My boyfriend doesn't wear cologne, but he does use old spice deodorant so when we cuddle he does smell good.

But it would buying him cologne knowing he doesn't wear it seem selfish or even rude? Like that I'm hinting he needs to use it? I guess it could be seen as selfish since I'm the one who wants him to wear it but I would probably get a nice shirt or something to go with it. He's never expressed distaste towards cologne.

I'm in a bit of a situation or maybe I'm just being a selfish materialistic girlfriend. My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year. The relationship has been the best I've ever had. He talks about marriage and moving in.

He's Korean. We celebrate 100, 200, and 300 days of dating. I'm not Korean. On our first 100 days of dating he completely shocked my pants off and bought me the bag I had been eyeballing for months. I'm not an overly excited person so he was a little worried I didn't like it. Eventually he believed that I was in love with the bag. (Because I was)

On the 200th and 300th day he DIDN'T get me a gift. I rationalized that it was reasonable. We had our first argument the day before the 200th and the 300th I said not to get me anything. I was expecting him to get me a Christmas gift. That wasn't too far away. In fact I even said that to him as well. Secretly though, I thought he still would. He didn't. He said, "You're going to have to wait. I didn't have time."

I leaving the day before Christmas so I thought the days before he might give me my present. He knew I had gotten him one. The night before I left he said he didn't know I wanted a gift. I didn't really know how to respond. I figured it was a given. It's not like he's never dated before. He said he use to buy his last girlfriend designer bags all the time. I know he works a lot. I know he has money. He spent $275 on a gift for MY grandmother's 80th birthday present.

I get home. No present for me.

Today is our one year anniversary. I am not expecting to get anything. I'm expecting nothing but dinner and netfilx. It makes me feel not important. I'm not worth anything to him but the fact that he can say he has a girlfriend. I'm depressed and don't feel like I want to go out for our anniversary. I'm not excited AT ALL.

Is not gifting normal?
