My husband and I have been married for one year. When we were dating, he got me a digital camera one year and then my engagement ring the next. He was always very generous when we were dating and bought my gas (we were long distance), paid meals, etc. now that we live together I pay more than half the bills despite similar salaries.
My husband got me nothing for Christmas this year and I bought him an expensive GPS. We have plenty of money as we don't have kids and live in a cheap city. I'm disappointed he didn't even get me a card or make me cookies or anything else. He didn't get his parents gifts either. In the last six months, he bought two of his friends (in his home country) $80-$100 used iPhones. Last night on Christmas he started talking about the $400 phone he wants to get in a couple months even tho his works fine. Am I wrong to be mad about getting no Christmas gift? Is this a bad sign? I just don't know how to make him see it's wrong to go from being generous while dating to getting me nothing now that he "has me"...

I think it's safe to assume you didn't give him any that night.
It's that he (apparently??) did not think to do ANYthing to mark this holiday, either for you or for his parents.
Not even a card?
Weird, and sad.
Yeah that's what I'm disappointed about. I'm a non materialistic person so I would have been ecstatic about getting some flowers or nice lotion...but got nothing. He is from another country but it is a very catholic country that celebrates Christmas so I know it can't be a cultural difference. Idk what to do, I'm worried I'll be disappointed every holiday from now on...

You could always apologize and say you didn't realize that now that you're married, you're not supposed to get gifts for each other. Offer to take the GPS back now that you realize the situation.
