should i be angry or not?
i gave my partner a present for his b-day(expensive belt) and he didn't say thank you and the following day. he said where is my present? he hasn't say anything about the present and i asked him if he likes or maybe be wants something else he just says okay and nothing more. i feel like taking back the present and not giving him anything anymore.
maybe he doesn't know how to graciously receive a gift? some people have no clue.

i wouldn't take the gift back. i'd just move forward.
he might of been feeling it... now is saying it because of action taken by you to care for him. just regular shit as far as i can tell. the real question is if you have a problem with it/do you not want to deal with it/is that not what you wanted/etc. i said yes. i really love going down on my partner and i would definitely miss it if she didn’t want it. as for receiving, i would probably feel differently if she never gave me head, but it’s kind of ho-hum. her enthusiasm for it turns me on way more than the actual feeling. at the end of the day, you need to make peace with your partner’s needs and your partner’s hard no’s, otherwise you won’t be happy. i'm not a teacher but i agree with what one of the male posters said. it's not whether he'll be flattered or take it the wrong way, it's whether someone else might take it the wrong way and think y'all have an inappropriate relationship. even if no one else overhears, he's still in an awkward position, because telling you a simple thank you might be giving you encouragement to flirt more (not saying you are actually like this), and not saying thank you might make you mad enough to try to get him into trouble (again, not saying you are actually like this). i would just leave it alone. A real man wouldn't treat you this way. You are not wrong for wanting to do nice things, and be there for someone you love. That is what parters should do for one another. However, you knew this man and who he is as a person and probably knew that he was not capable of making you feel appreciated, and being a good boyfriend. In no way is it your fault for being there for him, as long as you now realize that he wasn't the right person to be there for. He didn't deserve it. And you will find someone who not only deserves it but reciprocates it! Im sorry you were manipulated and used, I've been there, and it sucks. But now we know what we deserve, and need from a partner! This man doesn't respect you, he respects everything you did for him, and is only appreciative of that supply that you gave him. You seem like a kind soul, and you deserve more. Move on and be stronger because of it! different people decompress in different ways; this is just how he does it. his relationship with his friends is not the same as the one with you; he gives you more and so it takes more out of him.strange as it sounds, this is actually a good sign: he's committed to you, wants to give you his best, has other friends, and uses them as a healthy coping mechanism. it sounds like the problem is that he's indulging it a bit much of late, yes? if he says it's nothing to do with you, he likely has some serious stress he's trying to deal with- or perhaps one of his friends does. now, your awareness of and respect for his need for solitude is also a good thing, but if you need more from him than you're getting, it's not unreasonable to ask. i'd be careful in the phrasing, however; "i want you to spend more time with me", while reasonable, can come across as a demand. something like "i've noticed you've been spending a lot more time alone, gaming with your friends lately. i know you use this to work off stress, and i'm wondering if everything's okay. is there anything i can do to help?" not only sends the message that his needs are legitimate, it's more likely to be seen as concerned than accusatory. his reaction may also give you some insight into how he sees it and what it means to him- if he thinks of those he's playing with as his friends, he's obviously not doing it alone; if they're just some people he plays with, that's less likely to be a sticking point.it's not silly to want him to make you a high priority for his time, and it seems like you have a decent understanding that he's a separate person with his own needs and desires (a surprising number of people don't). if you want him to communicate with you more, it's okay to ask- but go in thinking of it is a request, not a demand. relationships are about give and take, not about conforming to a preconceived ideal. if it's only occasionally, while this is a bit excessive, i'd give him the benefit of the doubt depending on his lifestyle. but if it happens all the time, i'd be asking them why myself. i'd say he only sees you as a friend though at best. i'd be upset if anyone took that long to reply lol. they'd better have their phone turned off or something lol you have to initiate conversations with him too sometimes or he will think you don't like him as much as he likes you. basically he probably got tired of chasing you so if you want him you should send him a message and start a conversation right now. you aren't obligated to like or dislike anything. i suggest you figure out whether or not you like it, and tell her how you feel. either way, there's nothing weird about it usually he does, but every once in awhile i to just get in there and start taking his clothing off just to be like "hurry up dude, i want your dick badly!" which is fun lol. although there is nothing sexier then a man taking his belt off, all men should wear belts even if they don't need them tbh well i think it would be a little rude to just come along and not offer something... if you offer and he doesn't take it sure... but if it would make his life easier, the question begs to ask.. why don't you want to make his life easier?
