We are going out to dinner at a small, very good cafe/bistro. I like experiences more than things.

My DW doesn't like me buying her lingerie. Says it is a gift for me, not her. I tell her to tell me what kind she would like and I get no response.


What your DW really wants for Valentine's Day, and every day, is for you to listen to what she is saying.


zzzzzz.......try again, but this time, as a mature adult who can actually communicate directly.


Huh?

What is your wife’s love language, or how does she like to feel loved.
If DH bought me a nice pedicure, that I could enjoy kid free, it would be in that $50 price range and I would really enjoy it. If he bought me flowers and chocolate, that would be nice too but I wouldn’t nessicarily want that. I’m having his car detailed. Over the “budget” we set but he desperately needs it, and it will provide him utility

I wish my DH would think lingerie was sexy.

Please, no lacy (scratch, impractical and more for you than me) lingerie, roses, candy or overpriced Hallmark cards! I'd much prefer a heartfelt note, a nice bottle of wine, nice music playing on speaker, an iTunes gift card or something done around the house, like installing that reading light next to my bed or perhaps a beautiful shrub for the garden. Effort gets an A in my book every time. An expensive gift purchased on our joint bank account at the last minute, not so much.

I wish he would just cook dinner and clean up the dishes afterwards.

Sex would be nice. And a card.

Dude, she is telling you she does not want lingerie. So stop bugging her about it.

$50? Play it safe, get a nice flower arrangement or orchid and a nice box of treats.
