No Gift from Husband/wife/ or S/O?

[Toffee]

If you got no gift on your birthday which is a few weeks from xmas and then Xmas comes and u didn't get a gift, what would you do?

Also, your husband/wife's entire family is going to Vegas for new Years but u couldn't go because you started a new job, what would you do?

I'd be upset unless there is a reasonable excuse....like WE didn't have any money.

But that is no excuse for not making a card.

I know exactly how this can be as far as not receiving gifts but not the husband/wife twist to it.

In any case, unless you both agree to not celebrate holidays/birthdays/anniversarys I would be upset at not receiving anything.

As for the trip on New Year's I would expect my mate to spend that time with me not separated from me.

well I guess it would depend on where you are in the relationship?

my birthday is a few weeks before christmas and I didn't get anything nor did I get anything for christmas from him..but it taint a big deal to me. I got him something for christmas and his birthday.

This couple is married. and money is not an issue because he got all his sisters/brothers/nieces and nephews gifts.. everyone but his wife.

"Whazzzz Up?" There is no reasonable explanantion to miss both a birthday and Christmas ( never "X" out Christ) , because we are not third world refugees. We can muster a buck or two to get a card and a couple Hershey Kisses or something. My prime nemesis at the office gave me this cute little gift box of Tic Tacs (cost 1.49...she left the sticker on the bottom). Now, maybe she was trying to tell me that I'm breathing fire like Puff the Magic Dragon, but she gave the same to all six of us in the office as a token of sentiment for the season. If somebody I wouldn't invite over my house could give some memento, it makes no sense that an S/O, somebody that has seen you naked, can't do something to mark the season or B-Day occasion. (.....lingering on mental picture of your nakedness....)

Get to the heart, and just ask...
If it's a man, I hate to defend the gender in such a broad-sweeping, backhanded way, but it's possible they are just suffering from the "Duh" reflex that sometimes comes with the territory. For instance, I knew all along what I wanted to get for my S/O, but it took me until Twelve Two Four to get off my ass and fight with the other salmon swimming upstream in the malls at the last minute to pick up the goods. Desperation spawns some new ideas, too. I got this audio book set where James Earl Jones reads the entire New Testament. I especially like the part where Jesus signs up for Verizon and does an interview with CNN ( forgive me for that Lord, I know not what I do...) But I digress..

Anyway, do the female thing, ease into it, ask with that hurt puppy demeanor that you lovely creatures use to get info out of your man. But at least let them know that it matters...it's not just another day like any other, that the little things do mean a lot.

Okay, I know that "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" but....damn no gift from the S/O:eek: Gift giving from your S/O comes from the heart. That's just unacceptable:hammer

Sounds to me like this couple got some serious issues. You can make a gift.. But to willingly not participate in gift giving with your s/o is disrespect on a new level.

How is the relationship overall, sound a little rocky to me, Damn my s/o and don't even mention my b-day. Like brigtness said, unless that what we practice all the time, I am pissed off!!!!
