He didn’t get me anything for Valentine’s Day, was I too harsh?
So basically, today we went out and had a good time, I gave him his gift in the car and he loved it. I put a lot of thought into it. Then, when I asked him if he got me anything he mischievously said “maaaybe” in the type of tone that like you’d expect to just be a joke and they actually got you something.
Now, I know what you’re thinking “men aren’t mind readers” and they aren’t. Which is why before Valentine’s Day I asked him if he wanted to do anything and said it was fine if he didn’t want to do gifts he just had to tell me and we could just hang out. He said no, he wanted to do something. And then we were talking all the way up until Valentine’s Day and he was saying stuff like oh I hope you like it and when I’d ask what he got me he’d just say “you tell me first” or “you’ll have to wait.”
But yeah, a good portion of the day he was kind of leading me on to think he got me something before I just told him to outright tell me if he didn’t. He said he didn’t. I said ok. We went on with our day.
However we’re talking about it now and I am really upset because I told him he could’ve just gotten me a card or even wrote me a note and it hurt my feelings that he knew/agreed to exchange gifts and just didn’t. It especially felt like a slap in the face because last year he didn’t get me anything either cause he was out of town, which I was fine with but he acted super remorseful and was all talking about how he wanted to get me something next time. And then he just doesn’t...
I don’t know, I feel like I’m being mean to him by being upset and making him feel bad about it but it just hurts that I took time to think of him and do something for him and he just decided not to do them same. How do I forgive him/get over it?
