Would this upset you?

I have to agree that its how they treat you day to day not just one or two days a year. If you are happy everyother day who cares about 2 or 3 days a year, a b-day is just another day and christmas well everyone thinks about what they are getting instead of what it really is. Everyone has forgot all about Jesus what about his b-day what did he get this year? If my wife got mad at me for not getting her something for her b-day then I might not get it just for the point because she shouldnt get mad. And personally I could care less what or if she gets me anything for mine or for christmas I am happy whatching her and my 2 kids opening their gifts. As long as they are happy who cares if i get anything i just like seeing my son and daughter and wife open gifts and seeing the smile on their face. Everyone is so caught up in material things we have forgotten about what matters LOVE do u love your husband or do you just want things? My wife cooks everyday and i could eat it off the floor my house is so clean (All The Time) and most important she takes great care of my kids. Not to mention all the small things she does and mentioned by someone before, i couldnt tell u the last time i had to get my soap out from under the sink if it start to melt away it suddenly just appears there and those little things is what matters the most. LOL not soap but little things that she does for me i couldnt live without her she makes my dinner for me everyday before i go to work, i use to take an apple and she would cut it up and put it in a little bowl for me, so why would i care if she remembers one or days a year. I tell u one more little story and ill shuttup, at sunday school they always ask if anyone has any b-days or anniversary and they sing to them. Well noone said anything and 2 or 3 days after we remembered that sunday was our anniversary and we hadnt bought anything for one another.

There is nothing wrong in wanting your partner to be considerate of your feelings, likes, dislikes - of you, in general. If they love you, things that matter to you should matter to them. I too have a difficult time when I go out of my way to be sweet, thoughtful, or otherwise considerate of my husband and he doesn't reciprocate. Marriage is give and take, 50/50, and when it gets lop-sided too far in one direction, any human is going to get disillusioned and allow other issues to snowball into this one and get more upset than they would were it an isolated incident.

You're not being a diva. You're a woman.
