Birthday Query

[Casualbrowser21]

Realise there are countless threads made about birthday’s and disappointment, but wondering what the general expectation is from an OH surrounding birthday’s?

Would you be disappointed if your partner bought you a card and dinner but not a gift?

Appreciate this is entirely subjective!

Honestly I would expect a gift but I think I was VERY spoiled by my first BF who bought me gifts for every occasion. After him my expectations were so high that i was continuously disappointed with every man i dated because NONE of them were into giving gifts lol One preferred going out to dinner over gifts. and another one had bad experiences with giving gifts so we just "mutually" agreed not to exchange them. So I think it depends on the person.

FFS, No, i would appreciate the thought, effort and cost they incurred.

For gods sake , all this princess birthday drama! Really!!'

It is about the person and what they bring to your life. Is he kind? Is he loving? Is he supportive of you?

What did you want? A brass Salvation Army band and a private dinner in a London Eye Pod?

It is yr b'day and they gave what they thought what was appropriate, thoughtful and affordable. Just be thankful. Jeez!

At the end of the day , the only people who really care you were born, are yr parents. Expect the big princess drama presents from them.

Not at all I would be happy with a card and spending time with him instead of a present

He did! He bought a card and paid for dinner. Maybe he had no money left after that!

No I wouldn’t be bothered. I didn’t get a card or a gift this year, but I was taken out for the day and that is more than enough for me.

And last year he cooked a meal. Which is just something you do week to week for another person.

It is if you can afford to.
