But something has got to me.A month or so ago I split up with my girlfriend of 2 years. We lived quite far apart, and never got to see eachother very often (every couple of months or so) and I just got sick of her. Plus we'd been arguing a little at the time anyway over stupid things. You know how it is.Anyway, she used to be generous on my birthday/christmas, but this year, all she sent me was a card! Not to appear ungrateful, but this surprised me. I just don't know how I should be feeling. In ways I'm thankful, but in other ways, I can't believe that on my 18th birthday of all milestones, this is all I get!What do you think?

If it were her B-Day would you be generous & get her some nice gift? Something tells me that you wouldn't even get her a card. Stop being so unrealistic & expecting from other people when you yourself don't do sh*t for anyone else.

Yeah, I'm with DJ. You "just got sick of her" and now you expect a gift. Seriously, you're not together any more, why would you expect anything from her? Have you even established that you're still friends?

 I think you might take a look at yourself. The words selfish and ungrateful come to mind here.
