My birthday was yesterday 12/8 and my fiance bought me headlights because one of mine on my car were out. Last year he gave my a bag full of browned bananas ….they were in a bday bag with tissue and all, apparently he wanted me to make my famous banana bread, he didn’t even get me a card. We didn’t go out to dinner last year, so last night we went to dinner to Red Robin, he didn’t even want to get dessert. When I opened a gift his mother got me (a set of 4browned espresso spoons) and a gift card to starbucks he said “I shoulda waited tl buy us starbucks until you opened this, I coulda used it.” Some birthday. I kept asking where my real gift was and he ended up getting mad at me. Granted we jus had a baby in september and got hit with some nasty dr bills and my my neice my cousin his cousin and his birthday are all in december on top of christmas, were both broke but he knows there’s 2 boxes wrapped for him and he knows they r clothes which is something he “needs

I honestly think that he was trying to be thoughtful when he bought you that calculator, he probably had absolutely no idea what you’d want for your birthday. You’ve got to show him that feminine part of you in order for him to get the romance thing down. While he’s thinking your uninterested in those romantic sort of things, your craving it.

Here’s what you can do, which will both help you and him out with the situation. One thing men love is appreciation, write a list of everything that you appreciate about him, then set a date when you two can be alone together. Put on something feminine that makes you feel good and maybe set up a few candles and a dinner for him, then read your list and relate back to the times that each of these qualities applied. He’ll see the romantic dinner you set up and the love your giving him and he’ll have a general idea about romance, this also helps you to be more appreciative of him and gives him the love that he needs and allows him to give you the love that you need.

OMG!!! Your husband sounds kinda like my fiance… I love your blog… I just really can’t get enough of it. I sometimes read to my fiance, James, who ironically laughs along with it even though I’m basically reading to him the things he does.

Oh my gosh this is so hilarious! My husband back when we were dating always gave me crappy gifts too or sometimes he wouldn’t give me anything at all but I still love him for trying to get me something. On Saturday is my first birthday as a married couple, cant wait to see what he has up his sleeve because he has been really excited about it, so well see what happens

My husband bought me an $11.00 plastic windshield holder for my iphone. It was thoughtful, however, he bought his son a $200.00 suit and sent his daughter a hundred dollars for here wedding anniversary. When we were first married, he would walk into Chicos and say, “It’s my wife’s birthday, help me out.” and come through the door with fabulous gifts.

Atleast yours got u a gift… Mine did not even bother… he had this typical excuse.. could not anything worth for me.. By the way, it was my first birthday with him after marriage, first birthday away from my family… Knw i have a competitor for your husband on the romantic bit.. he took me to a japanese resturant and asked me whether “I WOULD PREFER WANT A BIRTHDAY CAKE AND A SONG or NOT”.

ok! I LOVE your blog!!! I think that you are a great couple!!! I am going to be sending you some great pics of my “annoying” husband soon. I have some great ones. In relation to this post – my husband eats what he calls the stomach ache special at least 4 times a week. He will put down a full serving or two of dinner then an hour later eat a bowl of cereal, have some chips and salsa, and then some ice cream to top it off. He then asks me why I let him eat all of that crap. I just smile and nod.

I am so glad that I found your blog and can’t wait to read more antics!
