Am I over reacting?

    So I'm lying here just thinking... My boyfriend of nearly a year got me no valentines gift. I went out with him and said nothing but it really hurts! He lead me to believe that he had gotten me a present so I put a lot of thought into his gift. We're staying in a hotel so I'm thinking I'll just not offer to pay half for the room. I'm lying here next to him feeling really confused. Any and all advice welcome!

    What did you get him?

    Did he invite you away to the hotel? Or was it a mutual thing or your suggestion?

    It was completely his idea. I didn't suggest a thing as I knew he was working. Normally Im not into valentines so I don't know why I feel like I do. It's eating me up so much that I'm contemplating just leaving right now. Thanks for replying!

    Are you sure he's not essentially considering the hotel/trip your gift?

    It sounds to me like he may have thought the hotel was the gift. How did he react when you gave him a present? Did he get you a card?

    Hey OP,

    I'd hang on a little while on this one. Maybe your boyfriend is preparing this big gesture of paying for the hotel when you check out. Just wait and see. Is it a relatively new relationship or not? If it's really gotten you down could you calmly discuss it with him. Explain you feel underwhelmed because u thought he'd gotten u a gift and were really excited and see what he says. If you walk out or let this eat at you to the point you have an argument over it, it might cause more trouble.

    I wouldnt confront him and say that you feel underwhelmed. He has brought you to a nice hotel for Valentines Day- thats a pretty expensive gift in itself. I would be pretty sure that the hotel stay is the gift and if it was his idea, surely you wouldnt be paying for it anyway?

    Dont get bogged down by things like that- it's worse that you are on Boards while in bed next to him, in a hotel, for Valentines Day...

    Sounds like the hotel was the gift.
    That is a gift in itself.
