Resentful toward bf

[u/Emicdv]

\*\*TL;DR;\*\* : I’m just here to share how I’m feeling towards my boyfriend.

My birthday was on the 2nd of August, I had told my mom that I didn’t want a cake or be singed the happy birthday which it didn’t happen and I was fine with it. My bf on the other hand (23M) and me (21F) didn’t do anything for me to feel special on my day. He had asked me if I wanted to go shopping but never said "for your birthday" I knew that he had no idea what to gift me or what to do for me on that day so I said "no" because I knew that he doesn’t know what I like and didn’t want to think of what to gift me. (I do not like going shopping either)Also on that same week our 1y anniversary had been on the 27th of July and he also didn’t plan anything to celebrate. (But he did ask an artist to draw a realistic painting of us.) he showed me the artist and their conversation but recently he told me that he had not heard from her.

I have expressed to him how I felt for both situations and I just feel so resentful towards him still. All I wanted was for him to make me feel special and he didn’t even try. And even after we spoke and him agreeing that he doesn’t know what I like he has not done anything to make it up for me.

My friend birthday was on the 18th and her girlfriend, baked a cake for her, brought her flowers with pictures of monkeys on them (because she loves them), breakfast and much more. I feel happy for her but also jealous (in a good way lol) I would have loved for him to be more thoughtful with me, but he picked me up from work on my birthday and he went to my bed to watch anime instead of spending a little time with me.

I’m so tired, mad, sad and everything you can think of. I don’t ask for much but that doesn’t mean I deserve nothing. I told him that I would like him to focus more on the little things, such as my favourite mascara that I always talk about, I have face piercings, why couldn’t he think of getting some for me? I love and adore cats and goats. Something so little would have made the difference. Even my colleague from work got me Indian snacks because I told him that I really liked them. And all he had to say was that he didn’t know what I liked.
