My partener and I have been together for 3 yrs now, and it was recently my birthday. I have always been a birthday person and always make a big deal of birthdays and buy a lot of presents. He did not get me anything for my birthday, not even a card... but instead gave me money and said to get what I want.... I think this is really slack on his part and am I bit hurt.... am i just winging or do I have a valid reason to be upset?

  1. I'd pretty upset too!! If he didn't know what to get you, then he could have taken you out on a "shopping spree" or something!! That way you're spending the day together, you get lunch together, and you're having fun shopping!! That was pretty insenstive of him. Have you told him how he made you feel?


  2. My husband is the same.  He thinks it is the same money anyway so why should we get each other presents.  Now he doesn't even give me money, he just tells me that the next item i buy myself is from him.  I also don't get cards because he thinks they are a waste of money.  If this is how he is now wait until later...

  3. I'd be upset too!

  4. OMG...I'd be pissed!

    But let me say this I am just like you, I love buying gifts and surprising people. I have been married 11 years and everytime my B-day,Anniversary,Valentines day rolls around I do something awesome and then my husband does nothing, I make a big deal out of it and tell him that its wrong he has hurt my feelings but still he does it anyway.

    And I know my husband is head over heels in Love with me. So what i have discovered over the years is he is who he is and I am who I am and although he hurts my feelings with no gifts or surprises ( I probably wouldnt like what he got me anyways,lol) It would actually make me happier to surprise him on my b-day,lol, because that is what makes me happy,I love doing for others. So even though I really really want him to be like me just once I move on and get over it. What also works is to take that money he gave you and buy something Kick A**!!

    Happy Birthday :)
