My boyfriend turned 21 last week and I bought him a new video game he had been wanting and a t-shirt.

He started ignoring me and leaving me on read after that.

I asked him what was wrong and he finally said it was unfair that I got him birthday presents because now he's going to have to get me something for my birthday and that I am being manipulative.

I told him no you don't have to get me anything for my birthday but I'd like to spend some time with you that day but he said that it was a "dick move" that I got him gifts. He says I was trying to make him feel obligated. I told him it is the thought that counts and that he doesn't have to get me anything but that if he does, I'd be happy with just a card but he keeps saying he is unsure he can deal with a materialistic girlfriend.

Was it wrong that I got him gifts? I can't understand any more.
