i have a new boyfriend been with him for 6 months its tough from the begining but we had many good times together . then i started noticing things .. he was very cheap and didnt want to be giving ( very cheap with his money ) and i felt like even though we were only together for a few months we were friends for two years before.. therefore i broke up with him because i felt like he was selfish .i broke up with him two hours before the day of my birthday . we did speak the day of and he stated that he wants to be with me but sometimes i have my little spoiled temper tanturms. he stated that he was angry at me for treating him that way because i didnt get what i wanted and the only thing i got from him on my birth day was flowers , lol he didnt take me out like i wanted. that really hurt me.. i stated to him even if he acted up on his birthday i would have forgiven him and tired to make him happy.

IS IT FAIR FOR HIM NOT TO GET ME ANYTHING FOR MY BIRTHDAY ? is that unconditional love.

Is it unconditional love on your behalf breaking up with him because you did not get what you wanted? Love is not about gifts, getting things. I hope you figure that out. You are lucky you got flowers! He obviously cared enough about you to still get you something.Maybe he was being cheap out of fear you would spend all his money Lol...Good luck girl x

QuirkLady agony auntIt isn't like he didn't get you anything, after all he did get you flowers and you had already broken up when your birthday rolled around. You're not owed a birthday gift by any means and him not getting you one doesn't mean he doesn't love you. Love isn't measured that way.

Were you clear to him that you wanted to go out on your birthday, or did you drop hints?

First off, he did get you something...Flowers. However, I wouldn't have even expected that from him if it wasn't for the fact that you were friends before you dated. Plus, there is a difference between cheap, and can't afford.

Unconditional love isn't about giving your partner every material thing that they want. It's about showing and telling someone how much you love them through other ways.
