[me, F19] [M23] I'm thinking about Valentine's Day and our relationship as a whole. I'm feeling unsure about how to navigate this or what emotions to process.

My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly seven months, and I care for him deeply. Despite my financial constraints, I've put a lot of effort into being creative with gifts, even making him a memory box to celebrate our relationship. Unfortunately, when Valentine’s Day came around, he didn’t get me anything, not even a small bouquet of flowers. This left me feeling unloved. He works four days a week at a full-time job, while I'm currently unemployed due to my work history. He assured me he would make it up to me, but now it’s March 1st, and nothing has changed. I’m beginning to wonder if I should stop hoping for a gesture and just move on. I've expressed to him how important holidays are to me, but he dismisses them, saying he doesn’t celebrate because he doesn’t see the value in it. I want to address how I feel without upsetting him or threatening our relationship, but the last time I brought it up, he promised to get me flowers just to quiet me. Lately, I’ve started to feel more objectified than loved, even during intimate moments. We live together but primarily talk on the weekends since he works late nights. I try to avoid discussing tough subjects during the week to prevent potential arguments. I should mention that I have borderline personality disorder, which he knows about, but he hasn’t made any effort to learn more about it to better understand me. I'm feeling uncertain about our relationship and what to do next.
