Boyfriend won鈥檛 buy me jewellery

Should I be worried a year ago my boyfriend got me a pair of ear rings I lost one of the pins from the back of the earring . And because I lost that ear ring he won鈥檛 get me any Jewellery, I do tend to lose things with my memory, he is kind and loving and giving in other ways but he insisted on not getting me any, for occasions x he get me other things I llike Xbox games for my birthday or other stuff but one thing don鈥檛 think he got over for me losing my ear ring unsure why?

I am not into jewelry ,,for one thing I am not letting a jewelry store bait me into feeling like garbage if I don't run out and buy jewelry every holiday
I have run several pawn shops and I know diamond retain and gain in value ,they are almost indestructible with normal care ,can be passed on to loved ones as family heirloom's
But I am not into jewelry ,and my women know that right up front
So I can get his point ,,if I spent a lot of money on something and mainly from carelessness you lost or damaged it
I would be more apt to get you things that say I love you just as much ,but not jewelry
As a rule my women only dolled up to go out ..
I get them things they only share with me
Not saying I won't spend hundreds on a dress (no way in hell I am spending thousands on a dress I don't care who made it )
But I will show her in lasting ways how much I love her
if she thinks I have to do it with jewelry ,,she more then likely won't stay with me

@Jadetherabbit I used to love to buy my wife dresses that were hundreds of dollars (I don't care how well off we were .I am neven paying thousands on a dress ,but she would take them back and get 3 dresses with the money and I would have been ok with that ,but it was all about she thought I spent to much money on one dress ,,Pink Ice ,she would take it back I would buy white roses (long stem ) have them sprayed on the tops with her favorite color (purple or lavender) and she would bitch me out for spending so much money on her so I stopped ,,it wasn't I didn't care
I worked with a bad back to pay off our home and our cars and everything we owned ,,I was only making payments on my back surgery
And she bitched all I did was worked
Our home was just paid for ,all our toys were finally paid for ,,and just when I can finally enjoy the fruits of my labor she leaves me .she was tired of being alone
and my doctor told her nothing was wrong with me ,she was tired of living with some one who lived off of drugs
The found the reason my arm was paralyzed after she left me ,,it was not in my head ,it was not to try and get drugs ,I was in severe pain and NO ONE believed me
After she left I was finally awarded my disability

So I have come to the conclusion I am just damed if I do
damned if I don't

We could have finally enjoyed our life ,she gave up on me way to soon ,,and her leaving destroyed who I was
She had our home ,our 401-K ,my tax returns for the year
she sold my classic Mustang
I ended up homeless ,,starting over from scratch
disabled ,and not even knowing who I was anymore
She was what I lived for
Now that I understand women better ,,I am to old to care
I wasted enough of my life trying to make others happy
Now the only thing I have that shows for it that matters are my kids and grandkids ,,,they never give up on me
Everything else is just stuff ,,
Everything else I can replace ,,I can't replace that kind of love ,sometimes we need to loose it all
So we can get our priorities in order and see what really matters ,what really lasts
Loosing someone you love more then life is a big eye opener

I
Agree it more important to love then to worry about material things am not normally materialistic to be honest , I love walks being outdoors and playing computer games and drawing are my hobbies, I Am sorry to hear that happened to you I would of been grateful for whatever dress I got and keep it not swap it that鈥檚 just rude she sounds like she was hard work Yeah lucky am not keen on dresses or too fussed with that stuff haha but would of been grateful my bf thought of me and what I would like even if it was socks or a cheap somthing I can wear to me it鈥檚 values more and would mean more to me then food and I can keep it forever lol x you are right maybe I shouldn鈥檛 be worrying about it just be happy I got my BF just enjoy our life together and he does do long hours at times

@rckt148 commutation understanding about things are important she wasn鈥檛 commcating with you about what she wanted, am guessing she complaining lot then both of you had. Then Chatting about it to find common ground make your feelings known and hers,

Sorry, but money is hard to come by and if you casually "lose things", then yeah, it'd make me pretty selective about what the hell I give you.
Jadetherabbit31-35, F
It wasn鈥檛 expensive I would of said fair enough if I lost somthing that 50 pounds or somthing @xixgun
Jadetherabbit31-35, F
Would like him to trust I won鈥檛 lose it normally good with necklaces

I guess it's time to buy HIM some jewelry...馃槈
Jadetherabbit31-35, F
Am all for that but he doesn鈥檛 wear any part from collecting gold necklaces in the past before he met me , for money for a rainy day he wouldn鈥檛 wear them lol@4meAndyou

Jadetherabbit31-35, F

Jadetherabbit31-35, F
To let everyone know it wasn鈥檛 expensive I found them on eBay for about 5 pound x ear rings he got me for our first Valentine鈥檚 Day I was so grateful as I never ask for jewels or anything really ,
Just would like a small something nothing expensive like for birthday or Christmas so I got a piece of him while am out and about

He sounds like a few of the guys I have dated. He is trying to infantize you, treat you like a child. How long have you been with him? What's his mom like? He might have mommy issues.
Jadetherabbit31-35, F
Been together 2 and a halve years he does treat me well though yeah his mum and my mum don鈥檛 see eye to eye she鈥檚 very controlling at times her way no way if that makes sense somtimes she can be nice my bf worry鈥檚 a lot when his mum flaps about somthing he not done
he left home now though @morrgin
Jadetherabbit31-35, F
Trying to prove to his parents he can achieve things price then wrong like his mum thinks he wlll be coming home or won鈥檛 be able to afford where he lives even though up the road when he should be happy with what he achieved. Know he looking for his mums approval

was it an expensive earrings? i know if i spent 拢300 on gorgeous jewellery for my GF and she lost it i'd be pretty upset.
Jadetherabbit31-35, F
[@they are cheapish but I loved them as he hasn鈥檛 got lot of money with his job but didn鈥檛 care about the price long not too expensive it鈥檚 the thought of it counts to me more
Jadetherabbit31-35, F
The pin and heart came off in my ear and I lost it while I was wearing them
