By his reply that it was a cold one, I decided not to, but I told him I would anyway. Read the conversation:Me: XXXXX, Thanksgiving is coming up, and you will be there by then. I will like to send you one more box before you leave. Would you like anything in particular?Him: I will not be home for THanksgivingHim: A package is not necessary, but you can do as you please.I know he doesn't care and maybe have someone else b/c he has become very cold lately, but I was stupid to tell him I was gonna send something anyway. Now, I realize I would waste my money, should I tell him I won't send anything? What can I tell him in order for him to see I'm not the dumb anymore?

 Simple do not send him a package and do not let any guy talk to you like that, its plain cruel. Write and say i am not going to send a package and i am not going to contact you again as you are being very distant towards me and i can do so much better than that.
And stick to your word!! Dont contact him again, he aint worth it girl

 Ok, why is he in Afganistan? Is he deployed with the military? If he is, then you can't expect him to be all lovey dovey. He's in combat. I'm sure he'll appreciate anything you send. You need to cut him some slack. Imagine fighting for your life almost daily. Your friend (not even girlfriend) is pestering you about if you want them to send you something. Meanwhile you're worried about the explosion you just heard...
If he's your friend, I'm sure he'll appreciate it, even if his latest communication wasn't the warmest. You don't know what he's going through. He may have just lost a friend. He's at war, try to put yourself in his shoes. Send something if you want to, and don't if you don't.
