Not buy me anything for Christmas (not an issue in itself), whilst knowing about a surprise trip to Dublin I'd planned, and has just gone out and bought himself a new PS4 and is now sitting not talking to me playing games..

I feel like I am being unreasonable but there's a little part of me that thinks 'arsehole..' 😔

So I ended up crying and he apologised. I said how it was just a crap day for him to be buying himself a present that's so expensive when there's more to think about (baby) and he's got lots already.

He then turned it off and didn't even look at it for the next 5 hours. Everyone has left now so whilst I'm relaxing he's on it. Which I don't mind.

He bought it off a friend, 2nd hand. Did originally go to game as it is advertised as open today 😐😐

I don't know why he hasn't got me a present, we hadn't agreed on no presents, and the trip to Dublin was DEFINITELY for him, he is an avid Guinness fan and has always wanted to go to Ireland.

He is usually very considerate of my feelings and has helped me through anxiety issues and depression before I fell pregnant. I think I was very angry this morning and made out like he was a pig headed lard arse when in fact he's only like that 10% of the time 😂

Thankyou so much for your help ladies, definitely helped me build up confidence to speak to him!

Don't let him off the hook. He can bloody well buy you something in the sales. Cheeky sod......

Did you ASK him why he hasnt got you a present and why thats acceptable to him? You are pregnant with his child. You cannot raise a child when you daren't speak to each other about things that concern you.

How long have you been together?

You still really need to get to the bottom of WHY he thought it was OK to not bother getting you a present Hmm

Ok... So see you again on here soon on your birthday? Hmm

His whole attitude stinks to be honest... Is there a backstory?

I realised with an ex from a few years ago that he was mean re presents, he earned a lot (in IT) and got me a paltry Body Shop giftset (he'd been in there with his teenage DS and got his exGF (mother of teenage DS) a similar Body Shop giftset) one Christmas. I was so embarrassed (this was a man who really bigged up our relationship and how much he liked/loved me etc) I lied and told my mum and best friend he'd got me an expensive day spa gift voucher instead. Blush Then to make it up he got me some penguin USB stick (I'm not remotely IT interested) instead of taking me to an actual penguin place to see a live penguin.... And made up some stupid story about the penguin. I realised he was more into his fantasy game playing and we parted company a few months later!
