My DH really disappointed me this Christmas by . . .

I would be ticked off too. I hope your daughter is able to stay sober.

DH is such a control freak and every year he FORGETS that it is supposed to be DD's job to make the gravy. I just asked who was making the gravy and he answered that he was. Of course. Men or women who insist on doing everything their way and/or by themselves are super annoying. So I just let him do everything.

N/A. My husband helped with cooking, cleaning, decorating, buying and sending and wrapping gifts, grocery shopping, family logistics, all of it. All this while I’ve been suffering from anxiety and depression and haven’t been able to do as much as I usually do.

Mine did not disappoint one bit but the best part is that he did ALL of the wrapping this year!

My DH has not left the house since he attended a work happy hour on Wednesday. Did no shopping for our 2 kids; didn’t get me a gift. I did all the shopping and cooking. It sucks living with a depressed alcoholic.

N/A! He did great on gifts, helped cook, cleaned up the kitchen, held down the first while I took a 2hr nap this afternoon.

Not a single gift for me under the tree. But
I also didn’t have any ideas for him when he asked what I wanted for Christmas.
He “gave” me some lingerie after the kids went to bed… but admitted it wasn’t really for me.

You should “give” him some new cleaning supplies.

My DH bought me a piano that I’ve been asking for a long time - he was up until midnight putting together Power Wheels for our kids.

This thread made me realize that DH and I have never given each other Christmas gifts.

You mean he gave you the intimates he bought for himself? Did they fit you?

I’m at the tail end of my isolation period so I’m staying alone. Met my husband, his parents, and our kids for a masked hike today. We stopped for snack and he insisted each kid eat a baby carrot. We absolutely do not force anyone to eat anything at home, I’m deeply opposed to that, and he knows it. I called him over and said “it’s really important to me not to force the kids to eat anything.” He turned around without responding, didn’t talk to me the rest of the hike, and didn’t text/call for 5 hours. When I’m alone on Christmas, and we had to miss seeing my family because I couldn’t fly.

THEN he decides he’s talking to me again, comes over to my rental and we sit outside for a while. He spent the entire time complaining about his parents, including taking about how his mom is just so angry all the time. The example he gave was she wanted DH’s dad to help make dinner, and he didn’t do it as desired, and then she didn’t speak to him for the rest of the evening. UH HELLO! Sigh.

We got into a fight a few days ago because I booked Reagan instead of Dulles. He refused to come along on our family vacation and today he didn't even call.
