writes:My birthday is coming up and this is the first year I've had a boyfriend for my birthday. I always joke around with my friends including my boyfriend about what they're going to get me for my birthday. But my boyfriend says he wants to save money. He said its either he spends all his money on gifts for me or saves it to come see me next summer (we're in a long distance relationship). I don't know if I'm expecting too much from him or if he's just being mean.

But why did you talk about gifts with him anyway? If you were asking him for gifts because you enjoy being spoiled on your b-day he might have said no to expensive gifts, but that he is intending to get you a gift, just one that wont cost so much.
It's the thought that matters, and he should do something special for you on your day, rich or poor.

Well there's one good thing and that is that he knows how to budget. If you had a choice, would you rather send him a present or actually see him? The only way to be sure is if he comes to see you. If he doesnt', and he doesn't get you a present, then he's mean. however, he could send a card. See if he actually comes to see you.
