HE could of at the VERY least got you a flower... something! I would be upset too :(

{{{HUGS}}}

Oh yeah, Id be upset. You can get a card at the Dollar Tree or the Dollar General store for little of nothing and a rose(or another flower) at the checkout of most convenience stored. Id be upset too.


HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Happy Anniversary!

Glad to hear your surgery and recovery are good also!

[YankeeMary]

Sorry you feel so bad about your anniversary...maybe (you know men don't really think) that he forgot or he thought that everything he did this week while you were recovering is your gift??? I am clueless just wishing I could make you feel better...sending you extra hugs...God Bless.

today is my Anniversay April 4th, just one day behind you, 23 years for us and I will probably get the same thing as you. I did tell him we were going out to dinner and he said on Sunday Duh

By the Way, I am from Raleigh too but live in Florida now.

i know how you feel
wish it would have been a better one for you
our 20th anniversary is the 17th of this month..
We are planning on going out to eat...and that will probably be it
I had him a handmade bit made that has the wedding date and the anniv date and a big 20 on it...and i will probably get the same as you....I wonder myself sometimes how come its not as big a deal to men as it is for women...
well anyways hope you are recovering from your surgery nicely and HAPPY LATE ANNIVERSARY

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! HE MAYBE TRYING TO GET UP SOME MONEY TO GET YOU SOMETHING. MAYBE HE NEEDS SOME TIME TO GET IT. I DON'T KNOW, REALLY. BUT, I AM JUST SUGGESTING A FEW THINGS, SO YOU DON'T FEEL HURT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME, BUT WAS MADE UP LATER. YOUR HUSBAND WILL DO THE SAME FOR YOU. HAVE A NICE DAY.

I got all ya'll beat, on our second anniversary my husband and I filed for a divorce, some present huh? For christmas hubby let ME buy myself a movie, and then went out when he got his check bought puzzles for his mama. What did I get? Your guessing it, ZERO, NATTA, NOTHING. He claims my christmas was HIM buying himself a TV and a TV stand:rolleyes:

Happy Anniversay from Wilmington!! Just had mine, & we went & got new wedding bands, then went to see "cold mountain". Nicest anniversary I've had in 25 years! Thats right, 25! One year, all I wanted was roses, & he got me a rose bush for the front yard instead of a nice arrangement to put on the mantle. Come on; a rose bush???? This year my 17 year old fixed us breakfast, & cleaned the kitchen up THOROUGHLY afterwards. (usually they do just a hit and miss job, don't they?

My first husband was a real jerk . For my birthday the first year we were married , he got me a SEGA game system (this was in the late 80s LOL .}I did not play video games and had absolutely no idea what this thing was. He did play games and used the SEGA all the time.The jerk had bought me what he wanted for my birthday. Soooooo on his birthday I gave him a box of Kotex.

[DAVESBABYDOLL]

Wht did he say when you gave him the Home Depot card??

Men can be pains :rolleyes:

My best friend's husband (now ex) back home was the same way.For any gift giving day,he got her things he wanted.One year for her b-day,he got her a bumper for a car,he was fixing up,one Christmas a gun he had looked to buy for himself.The gift list goes on,he was a straight up A$$hole.

I have learned to leave lots of hints the week prior to birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, etc.

Tell the kids...."Mmmmm, I wonder what your Dad is getting me for my birthday. Has he given you any hints? Maybe you, DS/DD should tell him that you want to go with your Dad to pick out my present at ------"

Put a big red heart on the calender on the refrigerator.

Put lipstick on the mirror in the bathroom with a message.

Plain out tell DH, "Let's go shopping on Friday evening for my birthday present!"

Get one of those reminder services for the computer a week ahead of your birthday, anniversary, etc. for DH's computer & email.

Men, you gotta hit 'em on the head with a 2 by 4 sometimes. Just teasing. LOL!

My sister and her ex used to do the same thing. He'd buy snow tires for her for his truck, and she'd buy him a sewing machine. Worked out well for them.

My dh is pretty good about this, he got me things I wanted for the computer, makeup, cow stuff, since I collect cows, and such and this was just for Valentines day, he always gets me stuff I like. Maybe you should just be honest with him, sometimes men are just dense.

[TX_Cowgirl]

I am thinking since its 20 yrs for us this year I want a new wedding set....
My hubby he is usually pretty good he might not buy me nothing but he will take me shoppin and let me get what i want so i guess thats not to bad....

hope you are feeling better..........
