Search Results: expensive gifts

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for close to 3 years now and we both are students (he’s in undergraduate and I’m in graduate school). This means that we both don’t have much money. His birthday comes before mine, and he mentioned that he wanted a specific pair of shoes he’d like. I got him those and asked if he’d like anything else which he declined to since he knows I don’t have much money and I already spent over $100 on his gifts.

my birthday arrives and I asked him what he got me since I told him what I wanted. He not only didn’t get me my request but got me literal $1 chocolate. He spent less than $20.

we often discuss marriage as well and then he started to complain about how expensive that will be already even though he hasn’t proposed yet in general let alone get the ring. We even went ring shopping in person and online, showed him what I liked, and he again said it was too expensive for his taste and opted for something that was the bare minimum. I told him to just forget it because it’s not even what I like/want and he should keep his money to himself at this point.

Am I being a bitch about it or is this the right reaction towards something like this? I’m not a gold digger but I just wish he at least tries and it seems like he’s not.
