It was my birthday 10 days ago and unfortunately I tested positive for covid 2 days before 😫
I met someone about 6 months ago and he tested positive 2 days after me (so on my birthday).
He messaged me to say happy birthday on the day but did not get me a card or a present 😫 and I’m really upset about it. He had been thinking about it, he had told me a few times before he was stuck and didn’t know what to get me…
We saw each other at my house a few days after and he still had not got me anything… he explained he had been too poorly to go out and get me something / didn’t know what to get before and thought he would get me something small but then couldn’t. I can understand that and did not say anything.
But we are seeing each other tonight, and I know he has not planned anything special etc…
He has apologised about the no present thing, but I am bothered that he has not tried to make up for it.
I made a big effort for his birthday a few weeks ago and got him thing si had thought hard about, and spent about £150. The money doesn’t really matter, it is the lack of thought I am really upset about.
He is amazing in many ways, we get on so well and have a lot in common. He is thoughtful in other ways, but I am not sure what to make of this. I feel really connected to him, we talk a lot and understand each other, he brings a lot into my life.
I wish I could brush it away but I am finding it really difficult… am I being super sensitive and unreasonable?
