From r/AITA

Alright now hear me out, last week was mine and my girlfriends 1 year anniversary. I invited her over to mine, and to celebrate I made (what I think was) a really romantic candle lit dinner. Now this thing took me ages to make, 3 courses, I even made lasagna from scratch, fresh pasta and everything.

It’s probably the best thing I can make but I don’t do it often because it is a LOT of effort, I’m talking maybe around 10 hours for the whole thing. Not even mentioning the cost of ingredients which was maybe 20-25 quid, not sure exactly.
Well... she came round Saturday night and we had dinner (which in fear of sound like a bit of a campaigner was ******* perfect) and afterward we went and sat on the sofa.

That’s when she pulled out a present for me, now we’re both students and we’ve not got loads of cash on hand, so it’s not like I was expecting her to buy me anything, we hadn’t even discussed presents or anything beforehand.
It ended up being a watch, nothing too flashy maybe 40-50 pounds, being honest it was a nice gift so I thanked her for it. But that’s when she turned to me and said “so what did you get me”
I replied “what?” She repeated “what did you get me for our anniversary”

I told her I didn’t get her a present, this for some reason upset her, she started asking why I didn’t get her anything special? Now the fact she even asked me that pissed me off a little. I told her I put a lot of effort into tonight and that I thought that was worth more than anything I could just buy.

She told me all her mates had gotten necklaces or bracelets or whatever the * from their boyfriends on their anniversary’s and that she would’ve preferred it if I’d just bought her something instead of what I’d actually done.

At this point I was ******* fuming, so I just told her if that’s how she felt she should get out, so I gave her back the watch and made her leave, the next day I awoke to a bombardment of texts from her friends saying how much of a dickhead I was to throw my gf out on our anniversary.

Honestly this whole ordeal has made me rethink the whole relationship, I just need to know...
Am I the arsehole?
 
Poor communication sounds like the problem but kicking his girlfriend out on their anniversary for not loving his gift of "20-25 quid" dinner (which he ate half of) is something an arsehole would do. She should be fuming more than him.

I didn't see him reply to any of the "How often does she cook for you?" comments.
 
Hell's Bells, that lady's bottom a page or so back is going to give me nightmares
 
Good s**t on Reddit, the meme culture of r/AFL and r/cricket is fun.

If he made the pasta from scratch and the sauces from scratch it's a fair bit of work.

Who buys gifts for a 1 year anniversary anyways, it's 2019 for the love of christ.
 
He's the arsehole on this one, if he hasn't figured out after 1 year that she's more into presents than experiences then that's on him.
