We've been through this before when he hasn't got me anything for Valentine's Day or birthday. I've explained how upset it makes me that he doesn't make the effort or put thought into it.
I always make the effort for him. He has the money to do it.
We've had a massive fallout because I've brought it up to him saying that it doesn't have to be anything huge or expensive - I spent just £150 on his presents which he is proudly wearing in front of his family today. I'd have been happy with a cheap purfume, or token gift - just something to show he cares about how I feel - he knows these things mean a lot to me.
His response is he does so much for me (which is true), I was currently ill with covid and he waited on me hand and foot, he's also helped me put up my daughters furniture and her birthday party. I'm being ungrateful. He's saying he has ordered something and it just hasn't come yet but he is tempted to cancel it. He saying that he didn't even get his daughter something as his money was tied up and mentally he is not doing well. He said he feels like whatever he does for me, it's never enough. I'm just confused now, am I asking too much? I feel bad because he did spend a lot on my last birthday and I feel like I'm being painted out to be a gold digger - he has so many good points. I feel like I've ruined the day. We aren't talking and I'm very close to calling an Uber home.
What is the norm with Xmas and other half's?
