okay, i think i need a virtual slap and be told to stop being ridiculous but this has been bugging me.
Rewind back to valentines day, i gave my bf of 9 months a caret thought out range of little gifts that i knew he would like and enjoy, nothing expensive as we are both broke, spent around £20 for the lot including a card.
He goes through them, lots of thank-yous and you really shouldnt of, really likes the stuff and smiles all round.
Off he goes to fetch my card. Thats all. I am disappointed but i have the whole day and night with him and i think that will do me fine.
An hour or so later he needs to pop out for milk while i am in the shower and comes back with the milk and two packs of haribo sweets for me. I laugh and thank him bust open the bag and share them with him immediatly
All fine and dandy. Then he says, and i really wish he didnt -
'' i could of got you something better for valentines but i need the money to go out with the lads friday''
I just looked at him silently and went to make some tea.
I could of done with keeping the money too, i would of gone out with my friends, got a haircut whatever, but i didnt because i thought about him and what would be nice for him on valentines day.
So, its his birthday in a few days, i have his card, i am slightly ashamed to say i am so so very tempted to get him two packs of haribo to go with it.
Should i? I have seen a few things he would like as a birthday gift but i am actually still annoyed by his comment.
Should i forget it and give more normal birthday stuff?
Am i being way too petty?

Is this too petty and pointless?
