[quote=Anonymous]To all those women out there that get absolutely nothing or crap from their husbands....I apologize, for all men everywhere.

I'm one of them. For 10 years I've  been married and my wife has constantly said "I don't want anything" or, more because that's how I feel and she doesn't really want to ask for anything, but like all women, still wants to feel special, loved, and cherished....and like most men, I miss the point completely.

Well, this year I did it again. I tried a little (but not enough), buying her the 1 watch she showed me this year (and hinted strongly), plus I bought and framed her degrees (very nice frames). I tend to be very utilitarian.

Well...obviously I missed the mark and she was terribly upset. Picture frames? What the hell was I thinking.

Anyhow...it was enough for her to contemplate divorce. Likely it was just the emotions speaking (and one should never want or need to cry at Christmas), but the reality is that showing the love of your life that you DO think of her and DO appreciate her, EVEN IF you don't know exactly what to buy her is the whole point. Doesn't matter if she gives your gifts away or takes them back and exchanges them.........it's the fact that you try (actually try) and show her that she matters.

To my wife - I promise to continue to do better cause you are worth it.

Love
