DH is never getting out of the doghouse for this...

Gifts are like sex and oxygen. No big deal until you don't have them. If these things are so unimportant then why do some men so stalwartly refuse to give them when it's so easy to do?

I am still baffled why more of you don't get this very simple point. Her husband is emotionally stingy, and birthdays are just a reminder in a more acute way.

We don't get her simple point because her post was LONG, her whining was painful and she didn't make a simple point. She gave elaborate descriptions of silly things she wanted and whined about not getting them. She sounded selfish and spoiled. There was no simple point made.

You're right. She has no business living.

Way to jump to extremes and exaggerate. That is not what anyone is saying and you know that. Some of us feel she is acting spoiled, others feel the husband is clueless. We are both entitled to our interpretations but no one is saying she cannot live...

Why do people on this board sooner or later have to jump off the cliff in replying. This is a discussion board, we don't all have to be in mutual agreement in offering advice or feedback.

If this forum were not anonymous, if what you said were attributable to you, and your husbands and friends and co-workers knew what you were writing, I can't imagine all this vitriol would be pouring out of you. Who is not flawed in this world?

OP, Happy Birthday. Cheer up. Life is good.

What is it about this forum that makes people write whiny, poor-me diatribes and expect everyone to take their side? A lot of us don't think "DH" (what's the D for again?) should be "in the doghouse" for what OP described, that's all. And for the most part, the posts saying so have been a lot less vitriolic/attacking than a lot of what you see on DCUM. Disagreeing doesn't equal attacking, although I guess if you feel entitled to always having things your way, you might think it does.
