DH is driving me mad!
I don't think he understands the concept of gift giving/receiving. ?Last weekend he drug me out to a hardware store because apparently he needed metric tools and a new toolbox. ?In the checkout line he says, "This is my Birthday present".?
That night he ordered several pairs of jeans online and told me that they were his Christmas present, so don't bother getting him anything else. ?I complained and told him that you're not supposed to get gifts for yourself.
For the last two days he has been debating over whether or not he wants a new computer for Christmas as well. ?Apparently, he listened to my earlier complaints because he picked out exactly what he wants and emailed it to me (already in the check-out basket). ?He just sent me another email saying, "Now I just don't know if I need it or not, or if I necessarily want?it.? I was very happy and comfortable yesterday with my toolbox and?jeans.? Please give me some time to think about it."
I don't think he gets that gift giving is making a decision about what you are going to get another person, not making a decision about what you are going to get yourself and say is from another person.
Re: DH is driving me mad!
LOL! He sounds just like my mom.
My DH is a pain in the butt too when it comes to gifts. I would at least like ideas from him but all he wants me to do is put whatever amount I would plan to spend on him on his paypal account so he can buy whatever he wants whenever he wants.
His birthday was this past weekend and that is what he insisted on so I did it. Now he is saying the same thing for Christmas and I just don't want to do it again. But I have no clue what else to get him. He buys everything he wants or needs immediately never leaving anything for gift giving time. And his big hobby is this audio room he has created where he builds all kinds of high tech audio equipment from scratch so I have no idea what to buy for it. Hence he says just give him the money on paypal and he can parts as he needs them. UGH!!!!
For name exchange gifts at Christmas he has put Home Depot gift card as all he wants from other people. He will eventually spend them at Home Depot but it is not like he needs a specific tool or anything. He just doesn't know what else to say.
