[quote=Anonymous]It's my anniversary today and last night my husband said, "Oh, I don't have anything for tomorrow" and then he waved a phone cove he'd bought on the clearance rack with a big $8 clearance sign on it.  All I can think is, honestly, this man buys gifts for his mother, sends cards to his sisters, buys and sends gifts to his sons, but when it comes to me, it's like I'm supposed to give him permission to forget and mess up.  At Christmas he bought me these ridiculous Kim Kardashian animal print leggings that are totally not me, but he said they would show off my best ASSet!  What does that mean?  He can buy something that makes me look good to him?  Oh, and Valentine's day he brought home a box of chocolates that someone else gave him and gave them to me; knowing full well that I don't each sugar.  Now, this is a man who, in all other respects, is pretty generous and caring, but holidays, birthdays, anniversaries just wig him out.  Sometimes I'm just like "grrrr" and other times I tell him that I'd like to go to the movies, or a play, or something where we spend time on a date and that that would make me happy.  I don't really wear jewelry that much, so I'm sure that does limit his options, but I think every man has his failings and what are you going to do; throw out a good guy because he's totally clueless about gift giving?  Nah.  In a couple of days I won't be thinking about this anniversary and he'll be painting the walls in the family room that he's added on to our house and I'll be watching his strong arms do something great for our whole family and I'll smile and forget about the bright orange sticker on the silly phone cover that I probably won't use. :)[/quote]
