He has not been working for about 5 to 6 months though he has been looking.

Just remember that Christmas is about the giving and not focus on receiving. Why don't you go out and find him a really special gift (doesn't need to be expensive just personal) and present it with love and kisses!!
There's just no good reason for you to be mad at someone who just lost his job...esp if it was under duress. He must be feeling pretty low already. That won't do either of you any good to be petty and mean about a material object that may/may not have been forthcoming anyways.
Happy Holidays to you both!

Be happy he has a reason to have not bought you a gift! I have been married for a year and a half and sat Christmas mornig and watched my husband open over $800.00 wirht of gifts and all the while, he had NEVER bought me anything! And it wasn't because he lost his job, or didn't have the money, it was because he said he couldn't think of anything to get! How can you have lived with someone for over 2 years and not be able to thin of one thing to buy your wife!
Anyway, enough venting, sorry about that! I'm sure your fiance would have gotten you soemthing if he caould have! And I'm certain he hasn't said anything because he feels bad about it!

Personally if I was in your shoes, I would not get angry or hurt with your fiance. The most important thing is that he is trying. Love is not material, by any means. He loves you, and he is trying hard to find a job so that's all what really matters. Instead of being hurt or mad, it would be best that you support him and don't bring the issue up unless he brought up. When he does, don't hurt him bad over it. Just say, "Your love is the best Christmas present I can ever receive." Be supportive, loving, and caring. I wish you the best!

Since when has Christmas been all about the gift giving? What we receive and what we gave compared to what we got ? Do you think you should ask for a gift...if the roles were reversed would you feel the same way???

If you are even thinking about being "mad" you should dump this guy. The nerve of him not to knock over a convenience store or shoplift something to satisify your gift needs! Obviously his undying loyal love is a little hard to wrap and not that big of a gift.
Dump him so he can find someone more supportive and so you can find a sugar daddy to fill your gift recieving requirements.

Um no I don't think you should be mad. If he was sitting around doing nothing and not looking for a job I would be mad, but he is looking and I am sure he is embarressed and not happy about not being able to get you a gift. His pride is hurt a little. Don't be mad.

No, you shouldn't. Thats not what christmas is about anyways.. You should be happy that he was there with you and not mad because you didn't get a gift.. I am pretty sure after he gets a job he will make it up to you, just be willing to wait.

Do not be mad. He probably did not have the money, trust me, I am also unemployed and finding the cash to buy gifts this year was very hard to do. I had to skip a few meals in order to get just 1 thing for everybody in my close family.

mad no, disappointed that he could not even mention that he felt bad yes. there are many times people do not have any money but how about a poem a handwritten card telling you how much sticking by him has mean't. this is what i would bring up with him. that if he had just told you how much you mean't to him it would have made you feel better than a 10 thousand dollar ring.

I'm in the same boat. Cut him some slack. He's probably under a great deal of pressure. Give him a gift and relieve him of a little of that stress.
