Search Results: get my boyfriend for valentines day

boyfriend and I have been together 8 years. I have always gotten him a gift for Valentine’s Day, or made something requiring time and effort if I couldn’t afford it. Earlier in the week, boyfriend said he didn’t know what to get me after he noticed I had liked some gifts other people had gotten on Twitter (just thought it was nice, wasn’t trying to make a point)

Fast forward a few days. We’re in a shop and they have a big studio ghibli plush for $45. I brought him to the side away from anyone who might hear and asked if he wanted to buy the plush for my valentine. I planned to get it regardless of his answer. He agreed but his attitude changed. We got into the car, he grilled me for “putting him on the spot” and even said he thought we were past “materialism.” I was taken aback as I never ask for money/gifts and only asked because he expressed worry over it, and I led him away from people as to NOT put him on the spot. He also said I don’t know if he even has that much money (I know he has roughly $60,000, he just doesn’t keep it all directly in his checking account, he’ll withdraw however much he needs at the time and that’s what he’s referring to). However, he’s spent more than that on me even before he had money. We were both broke high schoolers when we got together, so I obviously didn’t get with him for that. He also spends more than that on himself on a regular basis, so I figured it was something he could easily afford.

Almost the day after this, he buys a $300 watch for himself. I feel worthless and unimportant. I couldn’t care less about money. I just want to feel like I matter and am thought about. I ended up having to work on Valentine’s and came home with his favorite beers (which he didn’t drink a single one) and spent 6 hours making pineapple upside down cupcakes and he still pouted that I didn’t buy him anything when I have less than $100 to my name.

Am I the asshole for being upset at him or for asking about the plush? Or is he? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I
would like to know your opinion on one minor problem. My boyfriend and I broke up a week ago. (Yes, a week before Valentine's Day!). In fact, he broke up with me. However, I do not understand the reason... You know, the relationship was very nice for me, and I'm afraid I won't have a match like that anymore. To describe it to you, this guy fought for me for 3 months until we finally got together. I think it was all honest on his part that he liked me. The strangest thing is that we are from one city, and when we were were we did the same activities. We trained together at the same sport club, but I don't remember him, only he remembers me. However, after 10 years, we met again and even found that we were studying the same thing and had the same ambitions. He was my best friend, support, lover and we just complemented each other. After half a year of relationship, he told me from day to day that he didn't want a relationship. He told me that he wanted to be alone, to focus on himself. I'm sure he doesn't have anyone else because we were together every day and it was always great until that day. It was a huge shock to me because the day before he called me from work saying that he missed me and that he loved me. I don't know what happened. It hurts me and I don't want it to end like this because it was too muchIt hurts me and I don't want it to end like this because it was too perfect.. He told me that there was no mistake in me, that he still liked me, but that he didn't know how to change his feelings. I would like to ask you what would you do in my place? Will I start to miss him? I don't want this to be our end.

Last night he told me he bought his best friend a flower for Valentine's day. He said he was just trying to be nice cause she was lonely and sad. I obviously got furious and jealous. Im afraid that they catch feelings for each other that's if they don't already have them. Was i right for getting upset? Or was i wrong... I told him that he could give the flower to his friend and now people think that they are dating even tho they know he has a girl friend.
