AIBU about Easter egg

[Oxycarpus]

I'm just back from my weekend visit to my boyfriend's. He has two sons and he bought them both Easter eggs even though they are adults. I bought them all 3 lovely Easter handmade chocolate eggs and chocolates. I'm a bit disappointed my partner didn't get me anything or acknowledge that fact and offer to share or similar. I know some people say this is for kids but it's a new relationship and I just thought it would be a nice gesture.

Is that maybe not as you really like chocolate or something? A lot of people don’t really pay a lot of attention to chocolate and would jist shove it on the side. It wouldn’t occur to me I had to open it, eat it immediately and share it.

He's a shit. Dump him.

It's not odd that he didn't think to buy you an agg but it is odd that none of them were appropriately appreciative that you gave them a gift. I'd be disappointed too.

Grown adults do not need easter eggs and neither should they expect them or sulk because they didnt get one.

Wow. I don't think DH or I have ever bought other Easter eggs, even when we were newly dating. I don't think I've ever exchanged Easter eggs with a romantic partner. If that is really enough to dump him, like some pp are suggesting, then he'd be better off without you

Really? I’m visiting my sister and I hit my niece an egg. My young adult kids are here too but they didn’t expect an egg - really that’s for kids! It wouldn’t occur to me to give my partner an egg.

I genuinely wouldn’t think to buy another adult an Easter egg, maybe he thinks similar? I know his kids are also adults but that’s different. So idk if it was Xmas or a birthday it would be different for me. I also wouldn’t have bought his adult children eggs either though - I don’t think this is a right or wrong type thing but not everyone has the same expectations for this type of thing.

Only you can know if it’s a one-off glitch against a background of typically thoughtful, loving behaviour, or whether it’s a combat indicator that he’s just not that into you / a sign of things to come.
We have established, however, that he is an egg-buyer for at least two people he cares about. So in your position I would be thinking it’s the latter. Sorry OP. 😞
My view is that if you have enough concerns to ask on MN if a relationship is good or healthy or right for you, that in itself is generally a reliable indicator that a relationship with that chap / lady is not good or healthy or right for you. Wishing you all the best OP.
