He didn’t do anything for me on my birthday
The story
I have been in a relationship for the past two years with this man and i love him to death and would do anything for him honestly. But him not caring enough to plan anything or gift me anything not even a small rose on my birthday made me think he doesn’t feel the same about me anymore but he gifted me this veryy expensive bag last month out of the blue cause he felt like it and now when i confronted him about not gifting me anything he said to me that the bag was my gift which honestly i love and appreciate but he could’ve atleast planned a date if he wasn’t gonna gift me anything, he didn’t even post a simple story in Instagram wishing me or anything which is all right but its just that birthdays are the only days you can make someone feel extra special and if i am being honest i have been planning his birthday since January and his birthday is in august so it hurt me a bit that he didn’t do anything for me.

Oh man, I totally get where you're coming from!!!
Relationships thrive on those little gestures that show someone cares... It does sting when the birthday rolls around and it feels like one-sided effort; That stuff's meant to be special, right?!!! Just like they say, “It’s the thought that counts” and when it’s missing, it’s kinda hard to ignore... Planning a birthday isn’t just about gifts, it’s about making memories together... But hey, people show love in different ways and maybe there's room for some heart-to-heart... Sometimes guys just miss these things, not from lack of love, but just ‘cause they’re wired a bit differently... Maybe next time, setting some clear expectations can help... You're obviously doing your part and putting in the work, which is awesome... Keep the hope alive!!!
ouuuuuh, not nice :-/
Hey, I gotta say, I see this a bit differently. 🤔 Relationships shouldn't be scored based on gifts or grand gestures alone. "Actions speak louder than words," and it seems like he did show he cares with that fancy bag, even if it wasn't on your birthday. Maybe it's not all about birthday plans but about how he is the rest of the year, you know? Sometimes placing too much importance on specific days can cloud the overall picture.
From where I'm standing, it might be worth considering the everyday stuff he does to show he loves ya before jumping to conclusions.
