[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And we wonder why the divorce rate is so high. This is one of the (many) reasons. Couples aren't part of a team anymore. My DH and I go over all presents we are sending family.

OP was hostile and posted here to get DCUM strokes for being an a**.[/quote]

Men have gone generations married without knowing what their own children were getting for Christmas. Not knowing what DH is getting his mom won’t cause a divorce[/quote]

And we criticize it. Just because you’re a feminist and they’re doing the same thing doesn’t make it right.

What’s so strange is the lack of communication in a modern, equal partnership.  Not even a quick passing comment or a question? That speaks more to their marriage and non-partnership than OP’s modern living.

And seven years is a long time. Long enough to be married, to have kids and to build a relationship.[/quote]

I have a good relationship with my ILs, and DH has a good relationship with my parents. (And both sets of siblings, etc., nieces and nephews, etc.) But that doesn’t mean I care if DH sends his dad a new book for his birthday, and I send my mom the perfume she wants. Who cares? They literally have the same birthday, we send them each a gift, who cares? Neither of them wants for anything and could buy themselves anything. It’s just a gesture, we both know the gesture is being made, we only talk about stuff that needs to be discussed or is fun or interesting. I think it’s OK that DH doesn’t find my mother’s desire for a bottle of Tresor to be interesting. [/quote]
