Aibu to be upset with husband over forgotten gift

First time posting, so please be gentle with me.

My "DH" who I have been with for almost 10 years has completely forgotten/ ignored my Christmas gift request. In the whole time we have been together, I have never known what I wanted for Christmas or my early January birthday.

This year, I saw a specific bracelet I wanted back in late October. I started the Facebook tagging with "I want this" several times a week since, been in the store with him a few times in the lead up to Christmas to look at it and window shopped every time we have walked past the store.

Today, he went to do Christmas shopping as he has been working incredibly hard the last few weeks and today is his only chance. I asked him if he had been in this specific store for my bracelet and his face dropped.. he had "forgotten" and thought I had just said I liked it, not that I wanted it. I'm gutted and had a little melt down about it after him saying he will go it.

Aibu to be upset about this and not want some second thought gift?

We have had a rough year but have worked hard on our relationship so I feel this is a slap in the face and that my feelings don't count yet again.

God I sound so grabby but I'm really not. I never ask for anything and always put alot of thought/ effort into his gifts.

Keep the pendant for yourself. Surely though, something important like what happens to your dd s ashes gets talked about together? If you can't do that then maybe it is time to part grief often does cause people to react in very different ways.
