Always do flowers


This. My 19th anniversary was a few days ago. Bought some flowers for $20 at Winn Dixie. My wife is cheap. She doesn't like to spend money. She isn't into jewelry and would flip out if I spent a couple grand on something decent. We don't get each other anything for most celebratory days. Which means flowers and card.

I always follow up the "don't get anything" discussion with, "you understand that I am not getting you anything?" And also let her know that if gift is presented in front of those whose opinion I value I will be pissed and probably get shithammered to show my dominance.

Honestly, I didn't read one post but when I tell my husband to not get me anything I mean it. I don't know if he always believes me (we've been married almost 23 years, he should by now) but I've started saying "it's not a test, I promise". lol And I mean it!

If you want to get her something do it. Personally, I'd be happy with the earrings I'm about to unwrap if I was her! Especially considering the recent trip.

Go to the doctor - tell her you have been having these unexplained doctor.

Tell the doctor your situation - get diagnosed with something. If you take some daily medicine, even better.

"My doctor said that (name of drug) causes memory issues, so he changed my dose."

Today is my 12th anniversary. My wife said all week not to get her anything (we just got back from Disney, spent money on Christmas, 2 kids, etc).

I get home from work this morning (worked dogs 4p-4a last night).

Sitting on the counter is a $70 bottle of Belvenie 14 year old scotch and card.

I did what she said, I didn't get her anything.

She does know I bought her $200 gold earrings for Christmas earlier this week. Does this make up for it?



did you at least go out to dinner?
Can you run and get a quick $100 gift?

Buy some services online local to your area (day spa maybe?), print it out, stuff in card.

Do guys still take this statement literally?

No

ETA: Get her a card, take her out to a nice dinner, then take a stroll somewhere quiet and nice at night with her. Then give her the earrings you bought her (assuming she doesn't already know they were for Christmas).

Then buy a new Christmas gift.
