Birthday gifts - am I just being ungrateful?
Show your support
This is giving the same vibe as a guy who took his girl to a hotel for her birthday and she followed the rose petals to the bed and the rose petals said “face down, ass up”… like he turned it into a present for himself!! But I mean if isn’t something that you discussed prior I can see how that could leave a sour taste in your mouth…
@Neena happy birthday to you, hope you had a good day! Yea that’s sort of how it felt that he couldn’t really give a shit and just bought any old crap. His birthday was last month and the things he had asked for hadn’t been released yet so I couldn’t get them in time but I got him other bits and made a huge effort with making him a cake and paying for dinner out but he made a snide comment a few weeks ago about he was ‘actually making an effort’ for my birthday. We’d also had a row around the same time where we both told each other we weren’t happy in the relationship and I’m wondering if these ‘gifts’ were him hinting at what he isn’t happy with (not enough sex) He’s not usually so inconsiderate, he’d normally get much nicer gifts so it’s just weird.
@Lyss yea definitely left a sour taste, I opened them first thing in the morning because he specifically told me don’t open these ones in front of the kids and it was just annoying me and playing on my mind all day.
Hey birthday twin! 🥳 No you’re not being ungrateful, he sounds like he couldn’t give a shit tbh and considers you an afterthought. He couldn’t even make the effort to go online and order a nice candle, no it had to be the reduced 50p ones! How to say you don’t give a fuck without saying it 🥴 As for the sex stuff, how crass. He clearly bought it for himself. It’s as bad as men who buy an iron/washing machine and say it’s a birthday gift for their wife 🤦🏽♀️ Is he usually so inconsiderate in your relationship? These type of men are usually selfish. I would be pisssssed too. Hope you had a nice day aside from the shitty gifts lol
