Yesterday, I (35f) sent my husband (38m) out to pick up some bread really quick. He came home over 2 hours later. Ask him where he was and he tells me that he had to pick up some things for Christmas for his co-workers and “others.”
The co-workers thing made sense but the wording about “others” was so odd so I’m like what others? He says oh you know, you guys, the family. Now, this man never buys us gifts. Ever. I handle all the Christmas shopping for all the whole family- I buy and wrap my own present every year. I suspend my disbelief and just say okay.
The whole thing seemed more and more like bullshit as I thought about it and it occurred to me that when he came into the house he didn’t bring anything with him- just the groceries.
Whatever he bought must be in his car. Found a chance to sneak out to the car- there is nothing in it but a single bag. It’s hidden pretty well behind his seat. Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses. Check our bank account- $350 purchase.
They are absolutely not for me. I don’t wear sunglasses. I wear prescription glasses (I’m super blind) and it’s just never been convenient to get sunglasses too. Check the model online and I think they’re mens? I can’t think of a single person in his life he’d buy something this extravagant for. I don’t think it’s for his boss or anything like that- he hates his boss and would have bitched about having to buy a gift for him. He would never wear something like that himself.
What do I do? I could ask where the extra (non-existent) gifts for the family are when we unwrap presents tomorrow. But do I really want to start a fight on Christmas?
