I'm a college student who's deep in debt and struggling with many other financial problems. I'm paying for my own car, phone, rent for my parents since I'm living with them, and I've recently decided to help pay for my older sister's medical bills after she was in a hiking accident last month. On top of that, I have final exams coming up in college and I have to pay on my own for study guides and textbooks. And on top of that, me and my girlfriend had our one year anniversary last night and I wanted to do something somewhat memorable.
My original plan was to take her out this fancy Brazilian steakhouse that she had been talking up for a while. Her and her family have eaten there before and she was always telling me that she wanted to go there again. I really wanted to take her there for our anniversary dinner, but one look at the online menu convinced me that I couldn't afford to. One simple appetizer plate of breadsticks was $22.00 and a main course was as high as $60.00! I felt really bad, but I still wanted to do something, but I had to budget. So when she left for work yesterday morning, I made a homemade dinner and left her a note with a riddle in her apartment. The point of the riddle was to get her to go to the park where we had our first kiss. I left the note and took the dinner to the park where I set up a little picnic on the mountainside overlooking the city nightlife.
I waited for a little while and she finally rolled up in her car. I stood there and showed her the picnic I had set up and I could tell that she was disappointed. The worst part is that she didn't even try to hide it. She just looked at the setup and said "This is it?" I asked her what she meant and she simply rolled her eyes and said "Nothing, never mind." She sat down and started helping herself to some food without even talking to me. After a few minutes of eating in silence, she starts complaining about anything and everything. First it was stuff like "I hate being outdoors" and "There are bugs biting me" and it was getting irritating. Then she told me that the Brazilian steakhouse "sounds so good right now" and she told me all about how her best friend and boyfriend were eating there the other night. It wasn't a fun dinner at all and we quickly packed things up and we both drove our cars back to her apartment. When we got back to the apartment, she immediately goes to her room and slams the door as hard as she can. I knocked on the door to let me in and she yelled at me "Go home!" When I told her that I wanted to talk with her about her behavior, she cracked open her door, looked out and said "You're a fucking cheapskate!"
I left her apartment and now it's this morning. She hasn't tried to contact me at all and I frankly don't care to talk to her at the moment. But she did vaguely mention me in a tweet last night. She tweeted "Just had the worst night of my life...ughh." I'm still mad about the whole dinner and now I'm stuck wondering if her behavior is going to lead to me breaking up with her. What do you think I should do?
tldr: Girlfriend was ungrateful towards my budgeted dinner.
