AIBU with my birthday card

Hi,

My partner and I were engaged but due to some of his actions we cancelled this and he has since told me he never wants to get married and we can just be happy living together, although it was him who was so into us getting married more than I was, but that's just to describe the scene....I have been going counselling because I have a lot of resentment about this and I have lots of thoughts that he isn't as into me as he used to be.

It was recently my birthday and he bought me a card 'to someone special ' AIBU to be quite hurt over this. He couldn't even write anything really nice in the card because he 'didnt have his glasses!!!'

I just don't need any more resentment lol

YABU for staying with a bloke who doesn't think anything of you. Ditch him and find a better example.

Why are you still together . Neither of you sound happy.

Sounds like you’re wasting your time with him. Find someone who will treat you as a special someone.
