I’ve been with my dp for nearly a year, his birthday was two weeks ago and he asked me for a £40 shirt, I bought him it. He then took it from my house (we don’t live together) without telling me so he could wear it on a night out which I was pissed off about, he was supposed to spend the night of his birthday with me, he never showed up and went out and got drunk instead.
Fast forward to now, it’s my birthday this Thursday, he was supposed to spend the night with me. We got into a bit of a disagreement on Sunday and he throws in my face that he’s going away to London the day before my birthday and won’t be back for ten days, he never told me he was going before that, didn’t mention it at all. During the argument I told him to just take my present back and not bother, he proceeds to go on that he can’t take it back and he’ll have lost £50 if I don’t take it.
I’ve hardly spoken to him since he told me he was going away, so last night he dropped my birthday present off, didn’t bother to wrap it or anything, tied up in the bag it was delivered in, price tag still on £25 reduced to £15. He’s not skint, has a job and lives at home, pays no bills. I wasn’t expecting the world, I know it’s not about the money but for him to say one things and do another yet again is just like the straw that snapped the camels back after everything else the last couple of weeks.
He thinks it’s okay to ditch me on his birthday because, well, it’s his birthday! He tried to pass the going away off as he has to work away, he doesn’t, he gets the choice to work away now and then if he wishes and hadn’t bothered to up until now after promising to spend the night with me.
AIBU to be totally pissed off about the whole thing?
