I broke up with my boyfriend because I felt like he took no initiative in our relationship . I'm always the one trying to make plans together , paying for most of our dates because he isn't financial stable . My birthday just passed and he didn't get me anything because he has been laid off. I kinda lashed out on him because I felt I deserved a card or a letter at least . He's very affectionate, I know he loves & cares for me , he just has no self awareness ... I just sound like a broken record when I tell him he's disappointing me. It's been 3 days since we talked , the longest we've went without talking since I met him.i broke up with him on my birthday 4 days ago. How do I just move on ? Or am I letting him go too easily ?

Hey there, Thank you for posting your situation, I would like point out some things.
I broke up with my boyfriend because I felt like he took no initiative in our relationship . I'm always the one trying to make plans together , paying for most of our dates because he isn't financial stable. (This could be quite a turn off for a woman, basically the relationship was starting to become one sided to the point where you were doing all of the work. I could tell he started to get complacent as well here, so I could understand why you would feel this way). My birthday just passed and he didn't get me anything because he has been laid off. I kinda lashed out on him because I felt I deserved a card or a letter at least . (When it comes to birthdays, and such, you shouldn't create any kind of expectations on whether or not the person should give you a gift, because then you will feel hurt and sad when its not the outcome you wished for. It's not a good idea to get attached to a desired outcome.) He's very affectionate, I know he loves & cares for me , he just has no self awareness ... I just sound like a broken record when I tell him he's disappointing me.(Well this tells me he has say and done things that have caused you to feel hurt and back away, and that he can't notice any of those things, also you have mentioned a lot of things to him, but he has not changed or modify them so obviously it would make you feel dissapointed). It's been 3 days since we talked , the longest we've went without talking since I met him.i broke up with him on my birthday 4 days ago. How do I just move on ? Or am I letting him go too easily ? (It's hard to say, but do you feel this a person you could have a relationship again? and how do you feel about him and how the relationship was?)
