I'll be 30 soon. My DH bought me a pair of shoes no card. Am I silly or does 30 warrant something special?

Ok, #1. I am VERY PICKY about the sneakers I buy, #2. I was hoping he would quit buying me stuff that he wants, #3. Being married for over 3 years and having a child together should mean that he thinks more of me than buying me a pair of shoes and giving them to me 4 days early with no card, right?

I%26#039;ll be 30 soon. My DH bought me a pair of shoes no card. Am I silly or does 30 warrant something special?
Most men are very practical and can%26#039;t think in romantic terms. In this case, communication and dropping hints is the key. Something like: %26quot;Darling, I really like that cute little purse. This could make a nice present, especially given during dinner in that new restaurant we%26#039;ve been at last week%26quot; - and give that special LOOK.


It take years to train your man to recognize SIGNS. All my girlfriends complain of the same thing, so you are not alone. Happy birthday, and hugs to you!
Reply:Geez. You are 30. What do you want? A diamond necklace? I think it%26#039;s the thought, not the price tag. At your age I would think you would know that.
Reply:Every person%26#039;s persived notion of presents, are not the same.


The same applies to how they are wrapped - or not wrapped .. or with or without a card. Also - some people just are not appropriate present buyers .. they often buy a gift - and just the process of a gift is an idea which may come from the heart.





The gift itself does not represent what the person thinks .. nor may not represent what value the person puts on a person.





Lots of people buy gifts for other person according to gifts they want themselves.





What does DH mean?





Think this way ... do you thing that your DH (?) knows what that something special would be - that you think age 30 is warranted for? DH ? may be clueless to your way of thinking.





Personally - I try to give what someone would want .. I try to wrap it nicely - and give an appropriate card ... and at the right time ..... however I have experienced many people who do not do none of the appropriate things and they think it is ok to do things like this.





This is the difference in people. Different opinions is the variety in life.





Maybe you should have told him your thoughts of turning 30.
Reply:Ouch. I am hoping that is not you rbirthday present and at the same time I do not want you to get too upset because men are so simplistic sometimes that I am sure he did not do this intentionally.
Reply:you are so right
Reply:Sounds a little thoughtless but hey at least he got you something-dont be ungrateful
Reply:Divorce him sis. (I will pay half for your birthday!) I know it has to be you b/c only my brother in law could give such a thoughtless present. Your 30th birthday present from me will more than make up for it! Love ya!
Reply:No man worth his salt would get a woman a gift that bad, with no card either? I%26#039;m sorry for you...and you are NOT too picky. For crying out loud....it%26#039;s not only your birthday, but your 30th. He should be taking time to make you feel like a princess....not just someone that needs a pair of shoes. Girlie girl, I%26#039;d get you something nice if I had a chance.


For what it%26#039;s worth, Happy 30th Birthday and I hope your 31st is a bit more fun.
Reply:This is the reason why I tell my husband exactly what I want for a present, therefore no disappointment and then he%26#039;s not in the doghouse!
Reply:I hope that you didn%26#039;t react that way when he gave you the shoes. You%26#039;ve only been married to him for 3 years, so maybe you are now learning that your husband is NOT a mind reader. If there%26#039;s something special that you want, you need to learn how to start dropping hints and helping him out. Some men are naturally more empathetic and in tune to what would make a good gift... A LOT of others aren%26#039;t. No one is going to get it right every time when it comes to gifts, so to avoid disappointment in the future, drop him hints, tell him what you%26#039;ve been eyeballing. Help him satisfy you, since you are admittedly a picky person.
Reply:Don%26#039;t be mad, obviously your husbands heart is in the right place. So what if you have to spell it out to him what you want. give him choices of stuff you like. like, honey I want a prada bag, or honey, I want to go out to dinner. or Honey, I like funny cards or romantic ones. or honey, on my birthday lets do this or that or give me this or that. 3yrs does not make one a mind reader. don%26#039;t ruin your special day. Lay down the foundation for no mistakes to be made. an you%26#039;ll get what you want. how you want
