(Just for context: I live in this country alone, I moved here a few months ago but really the only person I have here is my bf. I haven’t really made strong friendships and I don’t have family here. Me and my bf met in May and started our relationship at the end of August)

On December 6th is my birthday and I spent the night of the 5th to 6th at my boyfriend’s. At midnight he said happy birthday to me and so. In the morning he had to leave to go to work and I came back home but we agreed to meet later to celebrate my bday. At 6:30 pm I went to his place (it’s more comfortable bc he lives alone, I live with 3 roommates) and we had dinner together. I also mentioned a few days ago that I had a craving for brownies so when I got there he surprised me with some brownies he made for my birthday. As a present he got me a bday card that said he will take me to a spa day. So jacuzzi, massages, sauna, stuff like that. We’ll go together probably this weekend, can’t be on weekdays bc we’re busy. I thought it was great. I really had no complaints, I found it thoughtful and nice. I don’t have friends or family so obviously I didn’t have a big party or a big celebration, but the dinner was intimate and nice. However I was talking to this family member of mine and she said she thinks he could’ve done something more special or meaningful, that it just wasn’t good enough. That comment made me sad and angry bc I had thought it was actually pretty good and it hurt that she would say that. I don’t know what she was expecting, but I don’t really have complaints. She says I shouldn’t settle for little things. That the details matter and that just wasn’t good enough. What do you guys think? Was it too little? Am I crazy for thinking it was nice what he did for me?
