A I totally agree with you on this - it doesnt cost much to show a bit of thought especially around a special occasion like a birthday - it doesn't have to cost a penny actually to be treated well - little gestures stay with you - I would mention to him cos i feel that from this point forward you would have to be leaving lists for xmas - birthdays - valentines etc - get the message across nowthumbs up

Explain to him that that's not good enough and you deserve to be with someone who would like to give/get you something/anything no matter how small it is to show that he cares and put even a thought into your special day (you teach people how to treat you).......small things matter and it would surely make me step back and re-assess (if it were me) Belated Happy Birthday teddybear

im with witty, you would think after 7 months together he would have some idea of what to get you. sounds like he is only interested in what he can get from you and a relationship is meant to be 50/50. his excuse of you not hinting is bull, the whole idea of a present is that you dont know what it is till you open it isnt it dunno

For what it's worth and regardless of what you did for him on his birthday, I would be deeply hurt in your position.

To be treated with total indifference is worse in my mind than being treated badly! It's as if you don't exist.teddybear

That's awful! I'd be annoyed to. As you said, it's not about the money, it's the thought and effort someone puts into something, shows that they care. If doesn't make up for it tomorrow, I know what I'd be doing...!

thumbs up Totally agree - if you don't speak up and change it now then you set the precedent for future behaviour.
I know because I did it - not a card or a gift for years and years, he'd day sure get yourself something or I don't know what to get, it was never about the "what" - I would have loved the effort
- before we split I waited 9 whole months for him to do something for me, anything, any gesture, just a thing that made my day easier and there was nothing ...

Id be pretty annoyed if it was me. it doesnt take much effort to buy a card. See if he does or gets you something tomorrow

Look, I'm 50 years of age and single so I would take this advice with a touch of caution but:

I shouldn't have to tell a partner to care for me. It's not a communication issue! If I have to tell them then they wouldn't be with me. If he had feelings for you, then he would have wanted to make your day special and not have needed instructions.

Sorry if that's a bit brutal.teddybear
