Dear cupid

My bf of 3 years is asking me to buy him new iPad for his birthday, I don't have that kind of money and I cannot afford it. He never bought me anything for my b'day and I never really made an issue out of it.

I told him I cannot buy him an iPad now, will get him may be in 6 months time, after that he stopped talking to me and avoiding me and whenever I call says I'm annoying him and he's busy. What should I do now, please help.

Dump the fool and regain your dignity or start breaking into houses hoping to steal one. Don't do the latter or course.

I find it strange you even need to ask OP, I mean is there any reason at all why he should get away with treating you like this? Any good reason at all? I don't see any. I'd tell him he can shove his ipad up his ass and find another fool to go out with.

MsSadie agony auntDon't buy him the iPad, don't continue to reach out to him, and certainly don't feel guilty about either of those things.

Maybe send a pre-birthday text to feel out if he's decided to start acting like a man again.

If he hasn't, you know where you stand and I advise you to move on from this guy for good.

What kind of talk is this? Tell him to get off his ass and get a part time job so he can buy his own Ipad. Your not his beast of burden. If he stopped talking to you that is good and move on. You sound like a nice person you wont have any problem finding a man that can really appreciate a woman like yourself.

Honeypie agony auntStop calling him and CERTAINLY DO NOT buy him an IPad, why on Earth should YOU buy him this? If he never bought you ANYTHING how is that fair for him to "demand" you buy him this or that?

Obviously he doesn't love you, he was just using you.

Dump his dumbass!

i believe you need a man in your life and not some silly ass kid and the fact that he said you're annoying him is enough!just stop contacting him and focus on finding someone smart the least ! he's leaving you for an ipad?!!in life there are more serious issues and thats a proof for you that he wont be around when you two will face some major problems!he'll simply walk away..

LivingWithBadDecisions agony auntWhat should I do now

ignore him. if he doesnt call you in a week without you getting in touch with him then you walk away

hes sponging and doesnt give a crap about what you want. hes throwing a tantrum and you shouldnt stand for it.

if you decide to stay with him never buy him expensive things like gadgets becuse he wont truly appreciate(apreciate?) them. Only bother to get him something if he will get you something for your birthday/christmas.

So_Very_Confused agony auntI'd stop calling and trying to get him to talk to me.

He wanted an ipad, you said no. either he's sulking like a child (which means he's not mature enough for a relationship) or he was with you for the things you would buy for him and do for him (in which case he's not prize and you should leave anyway)

so what to do... do nothing... ignore him... walk away

when he contacts you start with 'I'm NOT buying you an ipad for your birthday, in six months or for Christmas. I will probably never buy you an ipad. In fact, from now on I'm going to buy you exactly what you always buy me."

see what he says or does... after 3 years together and he's never bought you anything, I'm sensing the end is near.

Please remember its the thought that counts in the giving of any gift NOT THE PRICE.Your boyfriend is very selfish and mean to expect you to buy him an iPAD.First of all your boyfriend maybe be a user.As he seems to have lost interest in you with great RESPECT TO YOU.There is no way that you should consider buying him a iPad in 6 months OR call him again.It might be a good idea to let him go and meet someone that cares for you.Best Wishes Nora B.
