oh, good save
You have to remember, us guys just don't thnk the way women do. We do try, most of us, we just don't get it.
Example; My wife is always telling me I never really listen to her. I do, really I do (Mostly
) I guess I just don't hear what she is really saying or something.
Anyway, several times she stated that she sure wished she had a good vaccume cleaner. Not just once now, but maybe three or four different times during the year. So I skimped and saved all year, even done some odd jobs to save up extra money that she didn't know about. Searched around, asked everybody I could think of and bought her a very expensive, super-duper, do it all and look good doin' it, fancy shmansy vaccume cleaner. I was so darn proud I could bust when the special day rolled around.
When I gave it to her she just stared at me for like minutes... then informed me that you don't give a woman a *** vaccume cleaner for her anniversary. huh?
She said she wanted one and the floor was dirty.... I thought I was doing good. Spent two weeks eatin' corn flakes and sleeping on the cold side of the bed.
But I meant well...
So just remember he is getting you something and he means well...
On behalf of all women, I apologize. I would have been thrilled that he actually paid attention and got me something he knew I wanted!
Given that, I know that it's hard for men. I made it easy for my man - I email him my "wishlist" on
Amazon, which shows him what things I'd really like. Then he knows and can get me something I like. Or we go shopping together and he lets me choose.
Sometimes he surprises me - I love that he thought about me enough to try. Even if he's "off" a little sometimes - it's really truly that he thought about it and cared.
Of course, I have to admit - I've got a really good guy!
