No card, flower or gift on B'day?

yet another B%26#039;day with out any gifts or card from my hubby. My husband loves me and I do too, but somehow somewhere he thinks that going together to buy a gift, about a week or so after your b%26#039;day is equal good as b%26#039;day gift. Where as I always felt some thing as simple as a rose on b%26#039;day that he brings home could be of real importance. Is it a Man vs woman thing??
No card, flower or gift on B%26#039;day?

Reply:A man should always do something for their wife%26#039;s birthday. Shame on him!
Reply:woman%26#039;s thing...or else it wouldn%26#039;t be so common.
Reply:have you explained how you feel about this? men HAVE TO BE TOLD.....they are not as intuitive as women.....THEY cant read our minds.....


if you let him get away with it.....he will.....lazy and cheap? who knows?


mine always gets me a card.....but , a funny stupid one.....i want a romantic one.....


but, he %26quot;forgets%26quot; when he gets to the store.....


to each his own, i guess?//
Reply:Yes he loves you but he takes you for granted. Don%26#039;t let him. Arguing will most probably not help. Jus briefly tell him you were disappointed from him and let it go (for now). You need to work on the underlying problem - the taking for granted. Perhaps you could try revive the excitement in the relationship.
Reply:NO ITS A LAZY THING!
Reply:okay, my best friend%26#039;s husband is like this





what we did to solve the problem a couple of years ago (after five years of NO gifts at all) was go out ourselves shopping, SHe picked out something she really liked. We bought it (on their joint credit card) and then wrapped it up and stuck a birthday card with it (blank) so he could sign the card and give it to her.





We made sure the gift was out, with the card, next to his keys on the morning of her birthday, with a note that said something like, %26quot;Sign this card for me, thanks%26quot;





She gets what she wants and he doesn%26#039;t have to lie and make excuses for days on end about why he didn%26#039;t go out and get her anything. But you know, after that ONE time, he has never forgotten her birthday again. :)
Reply:Its a man vs woman thing....it isnt important at all that we guys have our birthdays acknowledged, we really dont care, for us our birthdays arent a big deal at all just another day......Now xmas, anniversary, thats a different story
Reply:I myself don%26#039;t care about that stuff. My guy treats me great, I don%26#039;t need a gift to know he loves me. Everyone has different needs.
Reply:The most important thing is that you feel the love from your husband. If you guys are in love that is the most important things gifts are good but love from the heart is the best.
Reply:My husband is the same way. I would rather he came home and just grabbed me and kissed me and said Happy Birthday than to wait until his day off and give me money to go buy a present. Some men need to be more thoughtful. This year I didn%26#039;t buy him anything for his birthday, he brought it up to me LOL
Reply:Next birthday, throw a party for yourself or have one of your friends throw you a %26quot;surprise%26quot; birthday party and have them basically force your husband to help them throw it while he%26#039;s supposed to keep it a %26quot;secret%26quot;.


After a few birthday%26#039;s of this, he should %26quot;get%26quot; that he has to do something ON, BY, and FOR your birthday.


By the way, it%26#039;s an %26quot;I don%26#039;t care%26quot; thing.


He will now be shamed into caring.


Other men giving you gifts on your party that he helped host will take care of that!
Reply:I had something very special for him but he didn%26#039;t show so I guess it was%26#039;nt special. I guarantee it would have been the best ever.BIRTHDAY.... what a party..
Reply:yes and u just have to accept him for what he is or get out if u can%26#039;t live with it.


my mother-in-law was married to her husband for over 50 yrs and NEVER got a b%26#039;day, valentines, annv. or Xmas card in all those yrs. So it is up to u and what u can live with.nanny
