[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think ... you're placing too much importance on tangible items. Basically, you seem materialistic. You said yourself that gift-giving stresses your husband out a TON. He's a good husband and good father. So stop stressing him out. You want a night away? So plan a night away!

You're standing on ceremony here. [/quote]
She told him what she wanted. It wasn't stressful when he was buying himself a watch. He was probably in a jewelry store when he bought it, how hard would it be to say "give me that too"[/quote]
Then OP should just buy it for herself. They've already picked out everything and they have the money. OP, just walk into the store and plunk down your cc. Why is the ring better if it's your husband that does that?[/quote]

Because he said he was going to get it for her, in a way that was significant, and also asked her to stop reminding him about it because he was handling it. If my husband did this, I would feel disappointed, and I would also be annoyed because why would you offer to do something if you're not going to follow through?

As for planning it herself, speaking as the person who plans all the trips in my family, on the incredibly rare occasion when my DH plans an outing, it feels even more luxurious. I know he's going outside his comfort zone, which makes me appreciate the gesture even more. If he actually volunteered to do it and then didn't do it, I would be sad, but I would not be that surprised.[/quote]
