Talking with DP and a friend about gig tickets that I bought me and DP. He was 'moaning' about having to go to it, it's not his style of band but I love them. I joked that I would sell his ticket and he was jokingly calling my bluff saying I should. So I said that I had expected him to have paid for his ticket anyway. They were a lot of money and I had genuinely expected him to offer but when he didn't I wasn't going to push it.

He took great offence to this and said he thought it was a gift. So I asked him to recall the last time he bought me a gift for no reason. Not even a bar of chocolate or flowers. And he had no answer. I enjoy buying him random presents and if I see something I know he'll like I'll but it for him because I like making him happy.

But not he's saying that you don't give to receive and that I have a bad attitude

WIBU to tell him that him not buying me gifts takes the shine off things for me? I'm not talking much, it would just be nice sometimes for him to come with a bloody reduced bunch of flowers once in a while.

Yabu I think it is cheeky to buy a "gift" for someone that you know they don't want and then demand the money for it!

Don't you have a friend to go with? You'd have way more fun! I think it's nice when partners submit to going to stuff the other one likes but the dynamic is better if they have chosen to treat you to tickets, rather than you buying them a ticket and dragging them along. So go with a friend. The main thing is to enjoy it!
