I need some opinions please.
This past Christmas was the first one my boyfriend and I shared together. I went out and spent a good amount of money on his gifts, and put some time in thought into them. I got him a new wallet, a gift certificate to his favourite store, a nice expensive sweater, a t shirt, some high quality chocolates, some cute holiday boxers, I wrapped up everything nice, got him a romantic card...basically just put alot of effort and love into it... I don't make alot of money, so I had to start early..put things aside, save my pennies. My boyfriend on the other hand told me he was going on christmas eve to get my gift, didn't have it ready for me when we agreed to exchange gifts...his excuse was " i'm not happy with what i got you, i want to add more things to it"...so I was a little disappointed with that, but it wasn't that big of a deal. So 4 days later...which i'm thinking is plenty of time to get everything together, we get together have dinner out...and he gives me his present after. It was some cheap little necklace, a sun catcher...and apparently a giftcard...that he couldn't find, but he told me it was to hmv...a cd store. I don't even buy or own a single cd, and i've told him that before....
So, at the time...I wasn't rude about it, and...said thank you and all that, but later on I told him I was a unimpressed with the gifts, especially because he had 4 more extra days to get them together, and I know he didn't add anything. He got very angry with me, called me an ungrateful brat, materialistic, a princess, that I had alot of nerve to say that to him, if I want better to go find it because he rather be alone at this point...
I've been very fair with him, giving him chance after chance...and I was really expecting something more this time, especially since we had an upsetting aregument not much longer before..and I pulled through once again.
Am I wrong to be totally unhappy with my gifts? does it make me materialistic that I expected more? I really don't think so, I need some good points to justify my response for when he calls me in a huff later on today
