6 month anniversary gifts for him reddit

My bf ( 20m “Todd”) and I ( 25f ) have been dating for about 6 months. Last week, he sent me a screenshot of our conversation after our first date where we decided to be a couple ( I guess to save the date ). He sent me this text:

“Baby, it’s been 6 months! It feels like it’s been so much longer lol. Do you maybe want to go out to dinner tomorrow to celebrate since it’s your day off? I totally didn’t get you a present or anything. ;)”

I basically said maybe, let’s talk about it more tomorrow. Todd came over and of course the first thing he asked about was where we would go for the “6 month-iversary”. I basically told him I’m sorry, but I think those are stupid, and please don’t assume my maybe meant we’d go out celebrating, the whole idea feels very high school to me. Like, what next, are we going to celebrate every week?

Todd got upset with me, and I tried to explain that I didn’t think HE was stupid or anything, but I think 6 month iversaries are just very high school and I don’t want to celebrate it. He ended up really upset and asking why I couldn’t just go to dinner with him and I felt really guilty and started apologizing, but he wouldn’t really listen. He went to his car and left a present bag outside my door and then went home without talking to me. I opened it and it was a new headset that I’ve been wanting with a “happy anniversary” card.

I tried texting him and offering to just go out to dinner as a date instead of an anniversary thing but he wouldn’t hear it because in his words “I was really rude about something that would have made him happy even if I thought it was dumb”

I feel bad about making him upset ( I think he cried in the car cus he was snuffling on his way out :( ) and stuff but I still think the idea of celebrating 6 months instead of just waiting until a year really childish and embarrassing and I would rather just go on a date. I don’t think it’s fair that he’s acting like his feelings trump mine.

To be fair he has been really stressed out by work and taking care of a sick family member but I still don’t think that means it’s ok for him to demand I do something I don’t want to. However after thinking on it for a while I am starting to feel really guilty for how I worded things so I did message him to apologize a few hrs later but he isn’t responding so aita?

tl;dr: bf wanted to celebrate 6-monthiversary and I refused

My boyfriend (20 M) and myself (19 F) yesterday had our 6 Month annviversary. Over the time we have been dating I have paid for our entire relationship with a small input from him the first couple months. Valentines day we didn't do anything but a dinner which I paid for. I told him for 6 months that I wanted to do something. It didn't have to use money or be complicated but just something he hasn't asked me to do before. One of the problems in our relationship is that he doesn't ask me to do anything or try to go out of his way to do anything. I told him that if he didn't come up with anything that I would be very upset and wouldn't feel like I'm worth anything to him or worth the effort. So the day comes and he picks me up and I'm already upset because he was 2 hours late to getting me. Then I get in the car and said we are going to the park. The same park we go to every day I see him to look at a Goose who has eggs. No pinic or anything. Then there was no parking and we just go to his house. Him knowing I'm upset didn't try helping me or apologizing for how today was going. I ended up crying and when he found out he said he was sorry he made me cry. We ended up fighting and he almost took me back 3 times knowing we would break up. I went and talked to his Dad and he helped me calm down. But long story short even though there were still things we could of done in the house or outside that didn't cost any money since he has none he didn't put the effort into trying. He admitted that he didn't try and I don't know what to say or do. He has lost pretty much all his motivation to do anything. I need ideas for some things we can do to make up for this mess. I even got him a really nice ring as a present and he didn't even make me a card. Am I wrong to be upset?

TLDR: 6 months we have been dating. I have paid for everything in our relationship. I make request to do something for 6 months. It was same thing we do every time we see eachother. Fought and he admitted he didn't even try to make a plan for 6 months. What should I do, say, think. I even gave him a ring and he didn't even make me a card
