He forgot or just plainly didn't bother to get me a gift for New Year's Eve

Holly • Be the best version of yourself :)
So, I've been dating my guy for 3 yrs and I've got him iPhone, high end clothes, shoes, and basically a lot of other stuff. Where he would give me a box full of popcorn or chocolates for my birthday or just get my name tattooed on him, like ??? On New Year's eve I surprised with with another high end dress shirt, cashmere sweater and gloves to go with it and he plainly said "oh I didn't get u anything, is that okay?" And opened some cheap champagne outside in the cold, he didn't even take me to a restaurant we were just sitting in his car for the third year. Ladies is he using me? And when i had some cash in my pocket he just took it and was like I need this to buy u a birthday gift which was really shady.. And like I'm getting really tired of being a sugar daddy to my 30
Year old bf when I'm only 24!!! Are all men like this? Why am I having problems letting him go? Like he also tells me he's getting lazy towards this relationship and is annoyed by me calling so much and needing his attention.. But he's coming every night to make sure I'm not going out.. Like ?? I'm confused .. Yet he tells me he wants to marry me

Ok so I'm not alone! What's the point of a gift? "Thanks for spending midnight with me?"

In all honest truth it sounds like ur way too materalistic. U obviously care too much about his apperance u dont accept him how he is u want him to buy u all these expensive things cuz u buy him expensive things that is ur choice not his. And iv never heard of ppl giving each other new years eve gifts just lots of kisses lol. I think ur overreacting and reevaluate ur priorities and the things that r most important to u cuz obviously he isnt

This relationship sounds stupid and immature as hell. Who on earth gets eachother New Year's Eve presents? You can't be mad at him for that Christmas was a bloody week before. And it shouldn't be about what he buys you. You sound like you have a huge obsession with money and this relationship is just pointless.

I don't think everyone does. But no harm there's no culture that does that. Maybe it's your family tradition. If he's so

A) yes he's using you. Or at least he sounds like. Taking your money to buy a birthday gift for you sounds super shady. B) you also shouldn't expect so much. Maybe he can't afford to get you super high end stuff so try not being so materialistic. Also "gifts for new years" isn't even a thing so I can understand why he didn't get you anything.

Honestly, if someone got me a gift for New Years Id say thanks and that would be all. Where I come from, it's not normal to give gifts for it. But that being said, maybe he's getting lazy because you seem to expect a lot and it's possibly too much to live up to. Talk to him about why he's getting lazy. Also, you need to re arrange your thinking because money isn't that important in a relationship. There are other things more important that how much either of you can afford to gift to the other.

You do need to much attention. I don't blame him for feeling like that. At least he's telling you. Who exchanges gifts for New Years, esp such expensive nonsense. Get off your high horse and appreciate the relationship for what it is and not the tangible stuff.

Doesn't sound like he's that into you.. From what you just stated he's getting annoyed & lazy about your relationship. I'd run fast girl!If a guy was interested in you he'll make that effort.

You don't buy gifts expecting something in return. If you stop spending money on him and he has an attitude about it then I would say that's a problem for sure!
