Feeing Taken for Granted
So, for my date's birthday and Christmas (the 21st and 25th respectively) I took a lot of time and thought into finding him presents I thought he would like and would matter to him. We went out the 20th with his friends and woke up together the next morning and on his birthday for dinner I cooked him a lovely meal.
For Christmas, my date got me two cooking classes (one for me and one so he can join me), which I am thrilled about (I love to cook!), but has nixed both of the classes I want to go to. Because he wants to go to the Italian night. That is a cream/dairy based meal. I'm lactose intolerant.
Now, for my birthday, 1/16 (MLK day), he's going to get back into town around noon that day (from a weekend long for-fun trip I am not invited on) and has made no effort whatsoever to make plans for my bday.
I know I sound spoiled, "oh, he's not doing anything, etc.," I know im incredibly blessed and there are so many much bigger problems in the world, but he made such a big deal out of me knowing it was his birthday (he started reminding me three months in advance) and I tried so hard to make sure he knew he is special and cared about and important to me.......and it just feels like I don't matter.
It doesn't count if I force/ask him to do something, I'm just so sick of giving so much for the men I date and getting ignored when it's my turn. Especially on my birthday.
