Would this upset you?

He gave you a birthday card AND flowers ON your birthday.

I voted "diva" only because "of course" and "unsure" didn't fit with me...

I see this comment...

So here I am, post-op, getting the baby dressed to go out in the dead of Chicago winter to spend the equivalent of a car payment on a cell phone with a baby in tow, and I get a DVD and head phones.

Then I see this comment...

Second of all, this isn't about the amount he spent on gifts, but the thought behind them.

To me, it sounds like those two are contradicting statements. You don't care about the cost yet you are sounding pissed that you are paying for an expensive cell phone (for him?) and yet you get "a dvd and headphones". But I may be reading it wrong.

I am tickled pink when my DH gives me a card and flowers. If that is all he gave me that would be fine for me.

Is there a reason he does not buy things off the internet? Perhaps he doesn't trust it like others do? Or just not that knowledgable about the internet?

so he can't do a lot of things right as it is

this just sounds so harsh (the whole first post does actually)!!!

I never said he was stupid, incompetent or can't do anything right. I did say he was lazy.

You actually DID say he can't do anything right (well, very close to it "a lot of things right")...

I'm truly sorry that this isn't the only problem with your marriage. How long have you been married? I hope it works out for you and your husband.
