Ok I just need a reality check really and fully expect to get told I’m bu. I know there is more important things going on in the world right now.
This has been playing on my mind for the last few days, bearing in mind me and my boyfriend are living separately for lockdown and our relationship has had a few struggles over the last few months.
I knew that the uk would go into lockdown so before it did I got prepared and bought Easter eggs for the family and birthday presents for those with upcoming birthdays. Last week I walked to my boyfriends house to drop off his Easter egg on my daily walk. Following social distancing and leaving on doorstep. It’s a fairly long walk and a nice warm day but the egg was fine and no where near too hot. On receiving egg boyfriend was most ungrateful and showed no appreciation to the thought/effort I’d gone to. All he could do was moan that it was too hot outside and the egg would be melted. It wasn’t melted but continued to say this. Not even a thank you.
Was a little pissed off at this. He hadn’t got me anything which I already knew and was fine with but thought he might show a little appreciation. Later on that night he messaged and back tracked a little saying he just didn’t know how/when he could have got one to me. This is a rubbish excuse as he has already dropped stuff off at my house over the course of the lockdown and our houses are just a walk away. He even offered to do some shopping for my vulnerable family member the day before all this so he is quite capable of getting to the shops and delivering to my side of the village.
Then Easter Sunday rolls around and not even a happy Easter message. He knows I am a little religious and Easter is an event I like to make the most of just like Christmas etc. It’s little things That mean a lot to me and he didn’t bother.
Should I be pissed off or do I just need to get over it. We’re going through a tough time together at the minute and this just shows he is not putting any thought or effort into our relationship. This is just another small thing on top of lots of other problems.
