Mini Hubby Vent

I love my husband, he's great. Right now he's cooking dinner after getting home from an 11hr day... that being said...

I hate that he sucks at holidays/gifts. I super rarely get a proper gift from him. For Xmas he got me an awesome serger (it's an expensive sewing machine) that I've wanted for so long... but then a few weeks later he budgeted badly and had to take it back. Told me he'd get me another later. He didn't get me anything for V-Day... I thought he'd make up for it since I got him something (it was small but very mindful of things he likes) but he hasn't. Mind you I'm not materialistic. I'd have been happy with a home made card... but he just. argh.

I'm about to just say screw it, we'll buy our own gifts for now on.  

My husband fails at picking out gifts for me, so whenever there's an occasion for one he just takes me shopping to pick it out myself. I sort of miss the suprise, but he really does try lol

My SO is like that. He never budgets or plans ahead to get me anything.. Most of the time I end up getting nothing!   it makes me sad because I always put thought in his gifts and surprise him. If he gets me something I always know what it is..he sucks at surprises and being romantic now.

Its sad because when we were in highschool and a year or so after he would get me flowers, write me poems, give me gifts, plan candle lit dinners and now....nothing. Boo  

Doe: I once sent him a message on FB with a link to the very thing he could buy for me. Never did xx

Kristen: Awww that blows. Hubby nevvver did anything like that for me. He's not romantic.

Same, I always put a lot of thought into his gifts. I even spend HOURS making them sometimes. He rants and raves on how cool they are sometimes or just tosses them to the side like trash.

I wonder if I wouldn't be happier just giving up on the idea that he'll ever be even a little romantic. >_<
