[quote=Anonymous]I look after ensuring my husband’s children and grandchildren as well as my children have thoughtful gifts, I try really hard to give him gifts from the heart. 
In return all he has to look after is me. I don’t ask for expensive things. However every birthday and Christmas I am more and more disappointed. He goes out of his way to blast how commercial Christmas is and to prove his point he doesn’t bother to shop for me until Dec 23/24 and goes to the cheapest stores like Walmart grocery stores to buy me random cheap things. Then tells me he didn’t spend very much, like 18.99 for a mans watch to give to me!! Or the tackiest 5.99 necklace. He is absolutely thoughtless and it devestates me over and over again. He has no issues with racking up bills that I always end up looking after but can’t be bothered to spend time to give me a gift that is meaningful to show any amount of true appreciation of me. 
In order to minimize his behaviour he tries to make me feel guilty by saying how commercial gift giving is. Well he does nothing to makes me something special, write me a special note, seek out things that are not expensive but meaningful to me, nothing. He then acts like a victim if I show my hurt. 
In a nutshell he is very selfish I feel by being completely thoughtless when it comes to showing any level of appreciation of me or caring enough to want to make my special days meaningful for me. I love Christmas all the things, people together, special gifts to show how much we care not how much money we have. He ruins it by making me feel shitty about liking it. I told him he wins- i’m Done, there no point to it anymore. I am not going to do anything next year.
