Question about what guys are supposed to do on Valentine's day?

My mother doesn't like my boyfriend/ex-bf for many reasons- he's 22 and doesn't plan on getting a job/focusing on graduating community college for a few months because he's busy running track and goofing around, and is extremely immature. But after what he did on Valentine's day, she finally expressed that I should dump him. On Christmas and our 6 month anniversary he got me nothing. (I've spent almost $1,000 on him on his birthday/vacations/dinner I've made him etc) And, so when Valentine's day came along I was hoping for a relatively nice gift, seeing as he hasn't gotten me more than a bouquet of flowers during our 8 month relationship. When I told my mom that all the got me was 3 flowers and a teddy bear ( and I had gotten him a gift basket worth more than $40), she flipped out and wanted me to break up with him because she saw it as immature, unthoughtful, and treating me poorly. And although he doesn't have a *steady* job, he makes roughly $200 a month working for his sister and she is always telling him he can work for her if he needs money. Plus his parents are loaded, so he could have always asked them for money so I don't think lack of money is a good excuse. His excuse was "that's what you're supposed to do for girls on v-day, right? flowers. that's what I thought..." What do you think?

I think this could be one of two things. One, you make him sound like a jerk who doesn't care about you by how you describe him here- NOT saying that's true. I'm just saying by reading this paragraph that's how it sounds since you don't list anything nice about him. That could be the case. And in that sense, then fine, dumb him becuase he won't change. Second, perhaps you're just putting more into this than he is. You haven't even been dating a year right? A few months might seem like a big deal, but it's really not. You guys don't even fully know each other yet. I've been with my boyfriend for four years and the first year didn't really get each other big things (we were also in HS however), just cd's,movies, stuffed animals ect. It progressed as our relationship did. You're spending an awful lot on him and perhaps he thinks it's too soon. As a last note, really if he's not hurting you, abusing you, cheating on you, doing dangerous/dumb/illegal things, then it's none of your mom's buisness. Its your realtionship and you need to set your own standards. If you expect more out of him on holidays and gifts then fine, but it's not up to her to decide that. Good luck!
