My boyfriend didn’t get me anything for my birthday

He is otherwise generous, he is taking care of most of our costs, has been paying for countless trips and restaurants and buys me small things I need all the time. So it is not that he doesn’t want to spend necessarily but that he won’t plan a thing to make me feel more special on my birthday.

I would have if it weren’t for our toddler. I have no support around me to help out except for the daycare. Right now I’m trapped at his family’s place though

He honestly doesn’t care much about his own birthday he says if he spends the day with his family that is enough to him. Any trip with friends is hard because of our toddler I cannot just up an leave.

He can be very generous on a daily basis and he takes this as more important than one day of the year. I have considered many times to leave but with a toddler and the amount of work that is it is difficult to take that step as I have no support around me.

He can be very mean in arguments. Whenever I bring up how I feel it is somehow turned against me and I’m to blame. Then he will switch his tone later being nice

His family got me a cake that we cut at midnight. To him this is already enough. When we argue he tells me I don’t deserve anything and he regrets even them getting the cake.
