Is it normal that my boyfriend doesn't buy me anything?

17 Comments

Well, i've been with my boyfriend for a year and 2 weeks now & he has't really gotten me much of anything...
He pays for me when he can whenever we go out with friends or if we're alone but thats about it.
I've never really recieved a random gift or gift by occasion such as valentines or graduation. He always tells me "I was gonna get you something, i swear, but we were fighting at the time"
Its really embarrassing & annoying and i feel a bit unappreciated by it...should i?

The only big bucks he's really put up are to contribute to my purchase of my UGGs...he put up half.

PS i've gotten him a birthday & valentine/anniversary gift.only because he doesnt give me shit.

      Saying "my own money" doesn't lead people to think you are mature.

    Ah well next time you say a relationship should be about love and not gifts and money I want you to remember how full of shit you are.
    Im not much of the relationship/love type of guy but I like it how nearly everygirl says what a relationship should be about and when they get what they said a relationship is about they get anoyed that they arent getting gifts.....so much for relationships are about love, right?

    Sorry it sounds like he is spending money when you guys go out, alone and with friends. He may just prefer experiences to material things.

    The fact that you care he doesn't buy you shit is pretty telling.

    Why are you in a relationship? Is it to get things or to be with your boyfriend?

    I don't know what uggs are? I don't pay much attention to clothes. But he should at least get you a big reese cup and a carnation for valentine's day. or one of those big balloons at dollar store that says I love you. or a starbucks. or some chik filet. or a heart shaped personal pan pizza. or some little candles and stuff from bath and bodyworks.

    all of these things are way under 10 dollars except for the bath and body stuff.

    UGGS are expensive.(I assume because you said "big bucks") Explain to him that little gifts are nice for you to have as a keepsake or something. But don't expect shoes and perfumes every month,he already pays for all the events,dates,and activities. Maybe if you suggest a date that was completely free he'd notice that. I was never big on buying girls gifts,but only because I don't really expect gifts I prefer time,its not a tell tale sign of being unappreciated.

    You're both immature. Seems like a great relationship you got there.

    well that could be one reason why your parents dont like him. im sure if you really think about it, you will see this from their point of view.

    Don't refrain from buying him a gift because you don't think the gesture will be returned. That's a bit selfish and materialistic. Gifts aren't about reciprocation. Maybe he doesn't know what to get you or you only ask for expensive things. I know it can be frustrating because it sounds like this is how you need to be shown that he loves you. Be honest with him and tell him. Go ahead and buy him a fancy pastry (most men like food) and present it to him as a gift and tell him that you want this display of affection. Make him want to do it, don't make him feel he has to do it.
