We have been dating for over seven months and its pretty serious. He said he spent all his money on my promise ring he bought a few months back. Is it okay to be mad/ upset/ hurt? Or is it just me over reacting?

I dont expect a huge gift, a simple card or flower would be fine

You're being really selfish and childish. The guy bought you a promise ring after only seven months. Seven months is nothing! You should be grateful to have someone so dedicated to you in such a short amount of time. He spent all his money on that ring and all you can think about is yourself. I'm sure you'll be getting plenty of other presents for Christmas. Think of those who are less fortunate this time of the year and who will get NOTHING. You should be ashamed.

You, over reacting. You should never expect something, especially a christmas gift. Enjoy the time you spend together and stop being so materialistic. I know it's hard not too, but use this as a lesson to not get to caught up in the christmas rush of shopping and spending.

Please don't listen to these greedy bitches. When I was 18 I had no money to buy my new girlfriend a present. I cooked her dinner and took her for a walk in downtown. 5 years later I own several business and things are fantastic financially. She stuck by me the whole time, never once judging me on how many shoes I could buy her. Thats the whole point.......Not some stupid *** present that will be garbage by next year.

No, why be upset and ruin Christmas.
In my opinion, you are over reacting.
He loves you, gave you a promise ring.........gifts
do not make someone love you.
If you truly love him, do not make him upset or uncomfortable.
Hope you have a great Christmas with him, and a wonderful New Year to come.

Well if he didnt get you anything for christmas because he is short on cash due to something he bought you a few months ago i wouldnt be to hard on the guy. but there is things he can do for you that doesnt cost him money such as a card, cooking you dinner, ect.

He should know that he needs to get you a Christmas present. Your romance is new and if he does this now, imagine how he will be several years from now!
P. S. I don't mean it needs to be an expensive gift, but just something that shows he is romantic and not a scrooge. Could even be something he makes himself.

well the fact that he bought you a promise ring is real sweet....and i see how it would be reasonable that he spent all of it on that and dosent have enough to buy you a gift....however i still probly would expect like somethin little like chocolate or roses or even somethin so simple as a card...that is wut he still should do....but if i got nun of that i think i would still understand about the promise ring and not havin enough money but i still would be aliitle bumed....but dont worry about it!!! He Still Loves You!!!!!

It's normal to be hurt and so forth, but it is not something to get mad over as long as he spends some time with you as well as his family. A phone call or a walk should be just as joyous for you and him.

I do think he should at least get you something small or take you out. You shouldn't necessarily "expect" something, but thought is always nice. Maybe he's even going to surprise you. But as long as you enjoy the time you spend together, then don't bug him about it and focus on being together.

I would probally be a little upset. I mean you can give a present without spending money, or even just giving something small to let you know he cares
