| The reality is all marriages are different. Some husbands are very good at remembering birthdays and special days like mother's day and some others just need that extra nudge. I know in the beginning, my hubby needed the extra nudge. Fast forward 21 years, hubby is now a pro and I am happy and grateful. So OP, give him a sweet nudge if you need to and hope you have a lovely day. |

extending that argument, mom's should also train their daughters better of how to not shut off the romance tap once wedding vows have been taken. but alas, fair play and decency are not the hallmarks of this forum

| Don’t make this a big deal. I told my DH what I want. It is very practical and I need it. We will both be happy! |

He asks, I tell him. It doesn’t have to be a secret surprise to be thoughtful.
This year, I told him two things. One is very open—he can choose whatever within that category. The other I told him a specific one a few months ago & that I don’t care if it’s the exact thing or something similar (in other words, more specific, but not exact). For the second one, I told him that if mil asks, that’s what he should tell her If I get chocolates and an afternoon alone, instead, that’s awesome too. I’ll take what I get. But again, why does it have to be all secretive and as if dh can read my mind? |
