i agree with the other wise and wonderful posters that perhaps he has simply never learned how to make gifts. In any case i do believe that your feelings are totally valid and that you have every right to talk about this with him as i don't think you're being particularly ungrateful in my opinion. Hopefully he won't get angry because of this! Sending many Safe, warm hugs to BOTH you, @ZenZeta, your Family, your Friends, your boyfriend and ALL of your Loved Ones! Keep fighting and keep rocking NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, OK?!
