Was he really so clueless he didn't think you'd get him a present and he'd need to get you one? Like, HELLO?? Even if he didn't get you something as cool as a chinese teapot (and let's face it, chances are slim), SOMETHING to show that he thought of you. Because Duh. Sorry, I'm ranting.

I have given up on that practice long, long ago though. He's just crazy -- not acceptable crazy like me either -- bat-shit crazy.

Sometimes we have to learn about assholes like that though, to find someone much better later on (my first someone like that cheated on me and later got deported...yea.....).
