Am I overthinking?

I (25F) went away to Nashville, my boyfriend (30M) did not want to come. When I came home he kept asking for his gift. I bought him one but wanted to surprise him so I told him I didn’t get him anything and he was upset about it. I showed him the hat the next day and he loved it. He went away two weekends later and when he came home, he did not get me anything at all. Am I allowed to feel butt hurt especially cause it felt like he made it a big deal to begin with? I feel like I’m always the one going above and beyond to be met with mediocry

Are you sure he is 30 and not 3? What adult pesters their gf for a gift?

And the fact he didn't think to buy you anything shows how self centered he is.

Why put up with him OP?

Selfish and immature. You deserve better

Aren't you two too old to be dealing with these immature situations?

I'm so immune to mens innate selfishness I probably wouldn't notice or expect anything of them.
