Okay, I need a second opinion

So for Valentine's Day, I spent the weekend before with my partner and it was fun filled. We planned it together and He didn't hint he was getting anything else the whole time we were planning. On the last day of the weekend, I gave him a card and a boxes of chocolates as something special from me to him. He told me he had a card for me and some leftover chocolate strawberries that he left at home. Prior to the weekend, when I'd ask him what he had got me, he said you'll see. When it finally became Valentine's day, I anticipated what he had planned, got me, or sent me. I got home very late and got a text only. When I brought my disappointment up to him, he said I was ungrateful and materialistic.

What do you think?

If he's not big on the day, that's fine; but he said he had something for you and he gives you leftovers...and tells you you should feel grateful for the half-assed effort? You have a right to feel disappointed. He conveyed perfectly what he really feels you're worth.

I don't know enough about your situation. But wanting something fancier isn't necessarily materialistic assuming he could afford it.

If I ever get married, I don't require a large wedding ring, especially if the other person is poor. But if they're well off and they get me something really simple and it looks like they just picked up the first thing they saw at Walmart, I'd kinda be like 'ok do you not care that much about me?'

... left over strawberries? uh. I dunno but it sounds like not a whole lotta effort to me.

He spent all his time and energy on himself or another person.

If it was behind your back you should leave him.

Lol, that's awful. Why be with someone like that? xD My partner never even wished me a Happy Valentine's Day, nor did I, but it's because we forgot. I only remembered when I got on Instagram and Facebook later and saw all the sappy nonsense people posted. But yes, I agree with Ephemeral. He gave you leftovers when he had something for you and told you to feel grateful? That's so rotten. I would not tolerate that in a partner.

"You'll see" Implies he had a gift for you. He got you excited and then called you names for looking forward to something that was not there. Maybe he's just an idiot.

That's stupid, I at least give my babe flowers on Valentine's Day AND anniversary or in the case of this year, one rose and a self created poem due to her move to Australia.
