Are you really that materialistic?

If so, dump her. She deserves better.

I see what you're saying. You spent a lot of money on her and she's not bothering to do anything for you, despite clearly being able to afford it.

Of course, relationships shouldn't be about the material side of things but when she's promised it to you and now she's taking it away again, it seems like she doesn't care much.

Don't dump her over this bump in the road. At most, talk it over. At least, let it pass. If a problem like this where relational equilibrium is not met in the future, then talk it over. If it continues too far and no equilibrium of love and money is met, then you should probably "dump" her.

Also, if you do decide to stay together, I recommend having a moderator delete this thread, because you don't want her snooping around later and getting all pissy because you had some sort of controversial thought in your past.

Materialism is alive and well, hooray.

You don't have to dump her.

Don't you realise what this means? You don't have to shell out on an expensive birthday or christmas present anymore. And if she kicks up a fuss, thank her for your [non-existant] birthday gift.

My serious thoughts exactly.
She doesn't want materialism? So return the favour.

I foget which program i got this quote from but here it goes. . .

We all pay for sex. At least prositutes are honest about their prices.

All this because she wont buy you a present? My ex-girlfriend never once bought me, or gave me anything.

Well.. Then again, she's my EX-girlfriend...

Doing it wrong.

I think if you love her, you should stay with her. Just let it go.

You don't understand how much it hurts when a guy tells you " I love you, But you fucked up, so i can't be with you. "

I would know first hand.

Don't dump her, just talk it out.
If that won't work, then dump the shit out of her :D (joke)

Honestly, you shouldn't have pushed the issue. Only makes you look like an asshole. I would have just gone the route of next birthday, or other special event, not doing jack-fucking squat for her. Nothing. Then when she freaks out, tell her you were just taking your cues from her and see what she has to say.

Seriously, the only time I've found women come to terms with the shitty behavior and admit they're being asses is when you catch them complaining about something they already complained about you doing. Otherwise they think their shit doesn't stink. It's ridiculous.

Finally... if you dump her, do it because she's inconsiderate and doesn't reciprocate... not because you didn't get some lousy trinket from her on your birthday even though she had the money. You're a guy... you're supposed to wad up the card she gives you and throw it in the garbage moments after you receive it... otherwise, you're a traitor to the male cause.

Take the bitch to Mcdonalds next time.

Seconded.

You whiny Bitch, Boo Hoo. Learn child, that Women's cost money not give it.

She should leave your ass, so what if she didn't do anything yet or at all, any guy who leaves his girl just because she doesn't buy him things never loved her in the first place.

hurp derp joking there.

Jesus christ, you people.

Well if your entire relationship is based on/worth materialistic items of course you should dump her, I think she's worthy of a guy who cares more about her than a birthday present. She didn't say she's not going to get you one, she's just deciding you spoiled idiot. Be patient for once, she's not even obligated to get you a present you brat, this is something she's doing on her own free will for you and you're complaining.

That is pritty damn epic...

you know what if she doesnt want to spend time with you tell her to get off your case
that stuff pisses me of
Dont forget to call her a b****

Thats a toughie. Still you don't know what her situation is. She may want to move out for her own reasons. Why don't you wait for another reason? maybe if she starts ignoring you? then that would be a good idea. But now you know not to OD on peoples birthdays which was a stupid thing to do. Either take her one place or another more than one place is stupid. Because you are most likely not going to get something equally nice in return.

All I can say is...

YOU CANNOT BUY LOVE!

Try to live without expectation saves you from a lot of pain.
If you only *dump* her because of this, you are going to dump a lot, A LOT of people in your young life my friend. Quiet being so matrialistic, does she loves you, that is what its about!
Be freaking happy you got someone who loves you, does it really matter how much she spents on you?
If I look how I spoil my girl on a matrialistic way, its completely out of balance but I dont even think about these things, I freaking love her with all my heart! And no dinner or play can make that less or more. Its about givin and taking not expecting and whining...

Grow up, I hope she dumps you.

think of this: titties or GTFO

Just demand you have a night of kinky sex, that'd be worth more than a dinner I'm sure.

Relationships should be about talking to each other and banging, not dinners and material goods.

But no, she's not doing anything. She originally suggested cooking me a nice dinner herself, I loved the idea. But she didn't do anything.

Clearly 99% of you guys didn't read this paragraph. It isn't about the money, people. The fact that she hasn't done anything at all for his birthday is where the problem lies.

My current situation is a nice example. A good friend of mine said he would come up with something special for my birthday a month ago. He told me it was going to take a while to put the stuff together and he needed the help of other friends. A month has passed and still nothing. Normally I don't even care about presents and if you insist on giving me something, a small token (e.g. a pack of cigarettes or something from the liquorstore) is enough. But now he has me worked up for a present that in all likelyhood I will never receive. Either give me something or don't. But don't promise me a gift and never come through with it.

I could care less about presents. Like someone else pointed out, it's the thought that counts. 6 months and no birthday present? No birthday sex/home made casserole/ridiculous looking keychain? Listen. A present is a sign of appreciation. Gratitude. In this case, gratitude towards you being alive/being involved in their lives. Now, either she doesn't appreciate you enough to stick effort into a present or you have fucked something up along the way as to why she doesn't appreciate you.

Don't mind me saying this, but she sounds like a spoiled brat. She's reluctant to put effort into making/giving you something. That and her parents probably hand her everything on a silver platter.

You might want to reevaluate your girlfriend before taking any other actions. Find out what she means to you. But don't go snooping around trying to figure out what you mean to her. In any case, don't break up, just talk if it's bothering you that much.

Still waiting on my present...

Hypocrite. You spent $150 on that bitch because you loved her, and she decides she can't even spend ANYTHING on you, and she calls YOU greedy? She clearly doesn't love you and she's only in on it for the gifts. I say dump her, but it really should be your decision.

Scottmale's completely right.

Sure, it's understandable that you'd be pissed off about spending so much and getting nothing in return. Personally I'd be annoyed in the same situation.

But at the same time she didn't ask for these things and you shouldn't be giving gifts if you're expecting something in return. If that's the case, then they're not gifts. They're credit.

And actually asking for compensation is just plain lame.

What you should have done was said nothing, or even better, tell her it doesn't matter whether or not she gets you anything.

If she didn't get you anything for a long time after that then you could make a judgement about how she treats you and, from there as well as with other factors of your relationship, decide whether or not you should continue with it.

Basically, buying a gift and saying 'When do I get mine?' is just a terrible approach.

that's the dumbest reason i've ever read to dump someone. You should have a conversation with her
