English is not my first language.
My birthday was yesterday. He gave me a card that he had bought the day before and got us sushi and later French fries. I was okay with that though I felt a bit sad that I didn’t get anything small as a gift. To me, a gift is an expression of love. I always try to give something he likes when it’s his birthday. Today I asked him if it’s ungrateful if I feel bad that I didn’t get a proper gift. He said you can feel sad but you wasn’t it enough that I got you the card? I said well I got you a birthday gift and dinner and a card. He said that the gift didn’t count cause it was for a concert that got cancelled. However, I have asked him for more than 6 months what he wants as a gift and he always said that he don’t need or want anything. I’ve asked that so many times. Now he claims that I can’t expect a gift if he didn’t get one. That it’s selfish of me to want a gift when I didn’t get him a replacement. I’m actually getting him a replacement in a few days when the new leather iPhone 12 pro cases comes out. He knows this. Now we’ve been arguing and he has called me evil and selfish and that I only care about myself and my gift. And that it’s unfair that I didn’t replace his yet even though it’s been months. But I’ve asked him so many times. To him I’m a drama queen that only thinks about myself. He also said that previous gifts I’ve given him suck and that he didn’t want me to know his honest opinion about it. This made me sad cause I would have preferred the truth so I could have taken it back to the store and replace it for something else that he’d like better. Am I in the wrong? According to him I should have said something like this “sorry that I haven’t gotten you a replacement yet, I’ll get you something. I wish you would have gotten me a gift.” He told me I’m annoying and that I should be quiet. Now I’m on bed crying and trying to be as quiet as possible so I wouldn’t annoy him further.
TL;DR: I got sad that I didn’t get a birthday gift. He got mad that I didn’t replace his gift(event got cancelled during summer) even though I’ve asked him multiple times to tell me what he wants so I can get him that. He will get a phone case in a few days as a replacement gift. He says I’m selfish and evil for wanting a birthday gift when I didn’t replace his yet.
