A netizen shared how upset she was because her husband bought the same gift for her and her mother-in-law for valentines day.
Here is the story
Husband Buys MIL & me the exact same gifts for Valentine’s Day.
My husband is usually a thoughtful person. He has written me notes as gifts that I have kept & has also bought thoughtful things like food, candy etc.
so last night my husband left out and went to the store to pick up the Valentine’s Day gifts for me, his mom, our 8-year-old daughter, and our 7-month-old daughter.
When he got back I went downstairs with him to my mil apartment to help him set up her stuff for Valentine’s Day so when she got home she would be surprised. It was beautiful! So he told me I would get my stuff in the morning when I get in the car to go to school.
Well, when I got in the car it was the exact same things he got his mother for vday. I immediately was upset because I felt that no thought had been put into my gift like he normally does because he literally got me and his mom the same exact gift.
I put thought into everything I have ever given him. What made me even more upset about it is that my stuff wasn’t even given to me or laid out like he did his mother stuff it was just in the car while he was in the house asleep.
So on the way to school I called him and thanked him for my gift and told him that I’m grateful for what he gave me but I feel like this wasn’t him or normally how he is and how he got his mom the exact same thing and put more effort in presenting her stuff to her than he did to me.
He then cut me off and stated that I’m not grateful and that it’s messed up that I’m saying that on vday and that he thought leaving it in the car was a cute idea. He then said that he told me last night that he wasn’t done with my stuff which he did not. Then he started saying in an angry tone that ima get the rest of my stuff today.
The crazy thing is, since we’ve been together I was never into Valentine’s Day but he made it a big deal. I really had no idea that he would react that way to me being honest with him. I would have been happy with a handwritten note because I know his heart was in it.
At this point, I really don’t want to celebrate another holiday including birthdays that requires gift-giving anymore. I don’t want anything from him.
