[quote=Anonymous]Ah yes, I feel for you OP. I have a different problem with my DH, but it is no less frustrating. And he is a good guy, great husband so I have to keep reminding myself that this issue is really "small potatoes" in the grand scheme of things.

My 1st issue is:  He buys everything he needs/wants himself! Always right before holidays too! Never waits, never lets me surprise him. Seriously, I am left waiting until the last minute because he will buy whatever he wants, and if I have bought it ahead of time, I have to return it and scramble around the mall for a replacement, OR just scramble anyway because he has left me with no options of gifts to buy him. It is so frustrating, because I KNOW what he wants, so it is not a question of not knowing what to buy him, but he never can wait to let anyone buy what he can buy himself!

Issue #2 He also buys things that are not my taste because he thinks that I "should" like them. Like one time, he got me an Iphone. I am not a technically savvy girl. I was happy with my flip phone and I do not text, nor do I check the internet on my phone. I had told him numerous times that I loved my phone just as it was, even though he said it was old, even though he said I should get a new one. So...I was expecting that he would get me one because he thinks I "should" have one.  I mean, it's nice, and I appreciate any gift, but still...I wish, just once, he got it right...then I would feel like he really knew me and what I wanted![/quote]
