[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s less the lack of the present itself, and more that OP is wondering what the change in behavior is revealing, since it seems like the beginning of a pattern. It’s only been two years - maybe to him these instances of gift-giving were grand gestures at the beginning of the relationship when things were exciting and new, and not a baseline regular thing like OP wants. I can see how this would be reminiscent to being let down over the long term by XH or ring alarm bells that something might (already!?) be cooling, and also the glib way he quickly lied on the fly that something bigger was coming (and then forgot about it) would be a big red flag for me… and maybe to the BF OP’s attitude echoes some other past baggage w his XW…feeling under-appreciated, or inflexibility on her part, or now feeling like he’s going to dread every commercial holiday and her quiet looks of waiting anticipation etc[/quote]
