[quote=Anonymous]We’ve been together for two years. Both divorced with kids and in our 40s. We live 30 minutes away from each other (in DC area.) Immediate, strong love connection with ups and downs over the past year with lots of work and family competing priorities. He knows I value gift giving and it hasn’t been an issue in the past, except on Valentines Day when he didn’t send me a gift on the actual day but waited till we saw each other a week or so later. But he bought me the cutest valentines gifts just small sweet things.Nothing expensive just little cute things. He took me out for dinner a few days after my birthday in July (I was away on the actual day). No gift. No card. No flowers. I told him later that I was hurt and it felt low effort (didn’t use that term.) He said he had something/ was getting something for me. It’s been another month and nothing. We are both busy with life but I am getting increasingly hurt by this and wondering why I would settle for this level of effort when I have a busy full life. We have been working hard on communication and there’s so much life stuff going on with our kids and jobs, so it’s hard enough already. But honestly the birthday present thing alone is making me want to call it quits. I didn’t go through a tough divorce to then settle. WWYD?[/quote]
