re: How bad did I frick up? Damage control needed!!!

Get her a BBC. Depending on the quality of your wife you can pick her up one quick and won't even have to spend any money. It'll be the best anniversary night she's ever had

You should be fine after 12 years. My wife has like 4 IOUs back logged from her last 2 bdays and anniversaries and we've only been married 2 years. I'm a terrible husband though.

My wife said all week not to get her anything

12 years and you still didn't realize that this was a trap?

Flowers and a card.

Make sure the color of the flowers and the color of the card match(content doesn't really matter). This has worked for the past 21 years for me.

For penance you should put a pic of yourself on the Fark Board and give the results to your wife

and that's just for starters

If it's me, you're fine. I know when money is tight and I'll tell my husband not to worry about getting me anything. That doesn't mean I won't get him anything,
If your wife is like me, you're fine.
If she's the kind of person who says shite she doesn't actually mean, you're totally fricked and should probably go buy her an extra Christmas gift so you don't have to listen to that bullshite all year.

Always acknowledge anniversary and birthdays with a gift or flowers, no matter what they say. Better for them to say "I told you not to" than "I got absolutely nothing from him".

All the money you brag about spending and making at yard sales and you can't buy your wife something?

Yeah, I am sitting on about $600 cash in my Paypal Acct from my last garage sale venture.

Hook line and sinker.


I'm gullible as shite.

so... marriage is basically "buy me something or I'll make your life hell"


sounds like I missed out
