My (19F) boyfriend (22M) didn’t celebrate my birthday
I’ve been with my boyfriend for six months. To preface this, I want to say that I in no way expect a big celebration for my birthday. I really only want to spend time with my loved ones for my birthday. What hurts me in this situation is that my boyfriend talked for weeks about us doing stuff for my birthday and kept mentioning all the gifts he was going to get me.
My birthday fell on a weekend, and he had off for a few days, so I asked if he wanted to celebrate with me on one of his days off. I mentioned that we could go to a movie, a park, etc. Even though he makes significantly more than me, I offered to pay for everything that required money. He agreed to a restaurant, and when I asked the day before, he canceled and said he had already “made plans.” We live together, and these plans consisted of him playing video games all day. He did absolutely nothing else. I even asked him if we could play a game together, go on a walk, or something small. He said no and spent the entire day on the game.
It hurt even more when I didn’t get any gifts or anything. He begged me for a $300 collector’s item for his birthday, so I got it. I make close to minimum wage and saved for months to afford it, while he makes over 1K a week. He spent $200 that week on video game purchases, so I know that he had money to do something. In the weeks leading up to my birthday, he mentioned how he was going to get me flowers and jewelry and other things for my birthday. He said this multiple times, including the day before my birthday. Then, I didn’t get so much as a card on my birthday. I asked him about this, and his response was that he didn’t know that I wanted anything for my birthday.
I honestly feel so hurt. He has been spending less time with me lately and gets annoyed when I do little things now and constantly snaps at me. I am asking for advice on this situation. I have brought this up to him before, but he always shuts down. Is there a different way I should bring this up to him? At this point, is this even worth bringing up again, or is it too late?
