Preface by saying that I do truly think my boyfriend is amazing. We’ve been together for a year now and truly, we’ve never argued or even been mildly upset with one another save one time.

But this past week...

It was our one year anniversary on Wednesday. I spent WEEKS trying to come up with something meaningful that he would love. Last summer, we went to Vegas together and stayed in the Bellagio. That was such a highlight in our relationship that I wanted to do something that would recall that trip. Well, anyone who’s been there or seen pics of that hotel knows the gorgeous Chihuly blown glass sculptures that are all over the hotel, but especially the flowers in the lobby. Well, for our anniversary, I found a glass artist in the town we live, and commissioned a piece of art just for him. Spent more than I could afford on it, but whatever. I wanted to give him something really meaningful. I wrapped it so pretty and wrote out this beautiful card... I really put some effort into it.

Come the day of, and he sends me flowers. Not like a huge bouquet of roses... just nice flowers. No card. I give him his gift, and he hardly says thank you. I was heartbroken...

And we went and had a lovely dinner out together at a great restaurant, but still... I truly was sad that he hardly said a word after all the trouble I went to.

Then the Friday of that same week, I’m spending the night at his. Well, he’s out with his friends that night, but he’ll “be home early.” 7:00 am the next day and he is still not home. He fell asleep on his friend’s couch (yes I trust him, no he was not with some chick) and never made it home. And he kicker... he’s got plenty of energy to spend a night drinking with his buddies, but he can’t even stay awake to watch the end of a movie with me on the couch.

So I’m just feeling pretty low about things with him right now. I adore him, and don’t know how I would manage my schedule without his help at the moment. But I am so sad to feel that I’m quite a bit under-appreciated.

So... what do you think girls? Mountain out of a molehill, or do I have a right to be upset?
