I'm upset about how he reacted to the gift

Question - (14 November 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 November 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My BF and I are very close. He's very special and i care about him so much. Lately I been feeling like he doesn't really have much feelings 4 me when I tell him I don't like certain things. I been feeling like my feelings don't really matter.

So his birthday was a few days ago and I bought him the Zune HD as a gift. The Zune HD just launched so it doesn't have the 100s of different apps an itouch does, but that's the only difference. Today he told me his neighbor's family got him an itouch and he told me "if u want to return the zune and save money u can". I told him I ordered it online about 2 weeks ago and the return policy is 7days so I cannot return it. Then he is asking me what he should do with 2 p3 players. I say i don't know maybe he can sell 1, i didn't say which 1. and he is like ohkay i'l c if i can sell the zune on amazon or ebay.

Now I know that the itouch is in and stuff but the itouch got 4 1/2 stars on BEST MP3 and zune HD received a 4stars. I know the itouch obviously is what everyone wants and i kind of don't blame him 4 wanting 2 keep the itouch rather than the zune HD but i feel kind of bad. I mean if it was me i would definitely keep the zune HD since it's from some1 special and some1 i care about and since it does cost a lot of money (I don't work). I didn't show him I was upset or anything, I tried being as calm as I can (mostly BC i feel he won't really care) but i am upset a lot. Now my question is am I being 2 sensitive? What should I do? How should I be feeling? How should I be around him from now on? =/

Western3589 agony auntA very unfortunate situation. I'm sure he did not mean to come off like that, but its not his fault he received that itouch. So even if the itouch is better than the zune, he should have been a bit more sensitive to you that you put forth the effort to get him an mp3, whether or not its the latest technology or how popular it is. He sounds materialistic, and money is something that can drive a deep nail into a relationship.

Either as he saw it as no big deal between the two, because its just material and he still knows you care about him the same and you meant alot, but the itouch is just better

Or he let the materialism decide that the itouch is better reguardless of your effort of buying him the zune.

PurityChild agony auntYou are not being to sensitive...I would have been hurt as well. How about you try telling him how you feel and say look I bought this for you and it hurt my feelings when you just didn't care and was unapppreciative. You should approach him very sweetly and just let him know exactly how hurt you are...and if he gets mad, then he is not for you. If he says sorry, Then wooohhh all is good again!

Hope this helps =)
