just celebrated my one year anniversary recently with my partner and i feel a little bit sad. i've been planning a bunch of gift ideas for them for a couple weeks and ended up spending $200 on the final product. as well as a made a handmade item. and no i am not one of those people who gives gifts and expects something in return, especially when i spent that amount of money.
but anyways leading up to my anniversary, i'd mention random things i needed/wanted (not in a way that i was hinting i wanted them as a gift AT ALL, just saying i needed some random things at times). they would say stuff along the lines of 'well wait till (anniversary month) and maybe you'll see it'. they said this about multiple things, getting my hopes up a little about certain items. the day comes and they gave me a jacket they already had, one we talked about when we first met + fixed an old bracelet of mine that broke to gift it back to me. plus a very very thoughtful card rhat brought me to tears.
we both woke up early that day but didn't see eachother till 4pm because they were busy finishing up the gift. it feels like they left everything to the last minute a little. i'm not trying to say that i believe they didn't do anything for me, because they most definitely did. it just feels a little off about the broken statements and getting my hopes up.
aita for feeling a little upset?
