[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wear it. Accept the love it came with, the appreciation from DH.

[b]Heck, go buy something you can wear it with.[/b][/quote]

OP here - I think this is an excellent plan. And the other PP is right as well, it might grow on me. Thanks, I feel better now. And I truly do appreciate the gesture. [/quote]

+ 1.

This happened to me as well and that is exactly what I did. It also grew on me and I get complimented for it and it makes DH feel great.  Very early in my marriage I was advised not to criticize DH when he cooks (and makes a mess in the kitchen), takes me out to a restaurant (and the food and service is not great), books a vacation (and the hotel, rental is not stellar), takes me to a movie (and it is boring) - because what matters is that he thought of me. 20 years of being married and people compliment me about how great my DH is. The trick is not to criticize anything they do with good intention however misguided it may be, else, men tend to not do such kind of things for you.

BTW - this advice came from my mom, when I called her to complain that the jewelry DH got me was super expensive and not my taste. 20 years ago.[/quote]
