Search Results: gift for boyfriend

So my boyfriend and I have been together for the last 3 years and been the best girlfriend possible for him. I sacrifice what I can/need to in order for him to be happy like spending money on gifts or whatever he needs with other things. Even though this might sound unhealthy, I went past my comfort zones/boundaries to please him. For example, he started to withhold sex because I wouldn’t get on birth control for him. I got on a method, not one he preferred, and it was fine for some time until he wanted more (the method he stated at the beginning). I told him I wasn’t comfortable with that but had to get it in order to receive anything intimate again.

recently though, he took it upon himself to purchase me a laptop that I need for graduate school which I appreciated a lot. However, he planned on buying it from a sketchy site and I begged him to buy it elsewhere. He said he wanted to do what he want, and got the laptop. I drove a long way to get it from him, and when I got home the laptop isn’t connecting to the internet which is a huge problem. Then the responsibility fell onto me to solve it when he could’ve made sure the laptop was fine while it was in his possession for a week or so. I had to drive more to a repair store and wait hours for them to tell me it cannot be fixed. I told him after and he claimed that the repair “isn’t that much,” and how I should’ve requested a cheaper laptop instead for school. I asked for the return label so I can mail it off to get a refund for him since he wasn’t going to do that and he said he was “too tired” to do so but wouldn’t give me his account information so I can do it myself. I’m not sure how to deal with this behavior or what to think of it considering how well I’ve treated him and he didn’t have to worry about a thing. Like I bought him a phone last year and it’s been working fine since. What should I do? Please explain.

I've NEVER forgotten a birthday or holiday before, I always make him cakes and handmade birthday cards and buy him gifts. I love holidays like that and he knows it.

I was anticipating his birthday all of June and then July crept up so fast... We've been arguing a lot lately and I can't help but to feel like that's really why he's so upset, bc this seems really out of character.

He said "you forgetting my birthday really shows your character" and I when I apologized profusely all he said was "whatever"

I feel terrible for forgetting but he's making me feel like the shittiest person ever.

This isn't like me to forget, I don't know where my mind has been.

So whenever my boyfriend and I go out to eat we have tried to split things, If its more than $20-$30 he will sometimes look at me and ask if I want to pay or ask "what should we do" He has paid for things but its for the small things. He's the one with the full time job and I'm getting there to get a job. I have discussed al of this to him and it has gotten better but i still find i'm paying for expensive things. When it comes to gifts he does spend money on me but when it comes to going out he seems to be really cheap. For example: when we went to the movies I paid for the tickets and he paid for the snacks. He ended up going to the game with a friend when tickets were cheaper. So basically i have noticed a pattern of whenever its more than $20-$30 max he will look at me to pay. I am totally down to split things but it's never made me feel "special" when it comes to him taking the initiative especially him with the job and me without a job. I just don't feel special and it feels like he doesn't want to spend money on me which he has but not to when it comes to going out. Is it normal to feel this way or am i being a "diva"?
