[quote=Anonymous]To all the other wives who aren't getting anything for the holidays or are getting crappy things, I feel you. And, I have tried everything--sending lists, links, etc., suggesting he just make the effort to plan an outing for us. He either never follows through or not in time (even though he had plenty of time) or only if I am standing right over top of him asking him to do it and I am just not going to do it anymore. Nor am I going to just buy something for myself and say it was from him and wrap it up. All special occasions are the same. And, no, he's not especially thoughtful about anything else either and puts pretty minimal effort into our relationship as a whole. He's pretty whiny about doing anything that isn't immediately something he wants to do. And, frankly, if he made any effort at all on the rest of our marriage, I would probably just chalk up the gift giving to a charming quirk. But, I dropped my end of the rope making an effort too and once I get my finances in order, I'll move out. Sometimes, no gift is more than just no gift.[/quote]
