My birthday was about two weeks ago. My fiancée got me nothing. I asked him why that that day he said he thought I wanted nothing. I told him no that wasn't true. Its been Two weeks and I still have got nothing. He has been talking about buying himself a 250.00 bow and sent me pictures of things he wants for his birthday or Christmas. I feel kind of depressed he did send me a happy birthday text on the day though. Do I have any right to feel this way?

you definitely have the right to feel hurt that your boyfriend did not get you anything for your birthday. it was very insensitive of him. especially after you mentioned something to him about it. he is careless with your feelings and rubbing it in by asking for things for himself. take care.

absolutely, i would be furious if my gf/fiance'/wife got me nothing on my birthday.
only way i wouldn't be upset is if she couldn't afford it, then as long as she spent the day with me i would be happy, but seeing how he's talking about buying a 250 dollar bow that does not appear to be the case, i would return the favor on his birthday and on Christmas and see how he likes it!

Yes you should be upset, but you are unlikely to get a gift now. He knows he messed up and likely feels that to give you a gift so late would just re-open the wound.

All I can say is you teach people how to treat you! Let him know how it made you feel. I wouldn't be passive aggressive and not get him anything on his birthday as I think he might somehow feel validated for ignoring yours. Good luck.

Don't marry someone who expects you to treat him better than he will treat you. Just end it now, before the invitations go in the mail.
