[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, man. He acknowledged the holiday. But you wanted a traditionally romantic gift. To preserve your sanity you must a) train him -- i.e. "This year I'd really like flowers, candy, or jewelry on Feb 14." or b) select the kind of man who likes to do these things for his partner. He doesn't care about the card, care box, etc. He takes it for granted, assuming that you like to do those things. Ask him what he wants for holidays. If he is like my DH and many men, the thing he craves is a pass to do zilch.[/quote] Thanks, this is a helpful way to frame it. It does bring me joy to create things for other people and I love giving thoughtful gifts - it’s my love language so it bums me out that he hasn’t picked up on this and tried a little bit to reciprocate. It probably made me happier to send the package than he will be to receive it. [/quote]
