Girls, is it shallow or wrong of me to be somewhat upset and disappointed that my boyfriend didn’t buy me a birthday present? Like not even a card, I would have been happy with a lovely little card but I got nothing. The reason why I’m so upset about this is with his ex girlfriend, actually no she wasn’t even his girlfriend they were just sort of in a thing (he says) he got her a really thoughtful present ages before her birthday. I know I shouldn’t compare past relationships but I just feel a bit hurt that he didn’t put any effort in for me if that makes sense?

update —

So it has been almost two weeks since my birthday and numerous of conversations later and he still doesn’t understand that it’s important to me or that I just want something small or even a card. Many excuses and tears and I just don’t know what to do, I just keep getting disappointed..
