Birthday effort from partner?

[Welshmiss38]

In quite a new relationship with someone that’s been a friend for years.. we have been together now for around 5 months, it’s my birthday today as he’s made no effort at all.. A generic card he’s left the £2 sticker on and a second hand teddy bear.. he’s been in long term relationships for years and I can see on social media how he spent there birthdays..
It’s not about the money we both earn 100k+ and he knows I don’t need anything..
I’m starting to think he’s wasting my time as I do so much for him!! do I say anything?

I get this, it is not the monetary value it is that it is an afterthought. Who wants that? Whether it is £10/£100/£1000 he only did it after he saw OP was upset and telling her friend at the pub.

Pointless and trying to save face

This exactly, OP even said she'd have been happy with a nice card and a token gift, I assume just a something that had some thought put in.

OP, Happy Birthday, it's a good week for birthdays .

And dump him. IME, it won't get better. Especially when he's shown he can be thoughtful with someone else.
