Ungrateful for X-mas gift?

I posted this for response on another board, but since I've posted in this board several times in the past and got some wonderful advice, I wanted your input also PLEASE!

This is me and my bf's first X-mas 2gether as a couple. We've been friends since HS and are both now 34. A few weeks ago he told me he was thinking of giving me a firepit for X-mas. I told him I thought that was very nice, but I would like something for me, not for the house. Well, that was that, no more discussion about it.

So, we drive up to ATL to visit my parents for the holidays and he said my gift was too big to bring, so he'd give it to me when we get back. Well, I thought he was just wanting to keep me in suspense because I had also mentioned to him that I wanted a ring for X-mas, as we have been talking about marriage for a few months.

Well, when we got back from ATL I took him home. He goes inside and comes out with a huge box, and guess what....it's a FIREPIT!!!! I didn't even know how to act, I was soooo disappointed! He just totally ignored my feelings. Not only that, but we live in South FLORIDA...WTF and I going to do with a firepit!

Sometimes humor can work: "Oh honey, it's exactly what YOU wanted!"

However he must know something's up, since you are getting the trip to the Spa. Nice gift.
