Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Cait and ,..if it had been just an ordinary anniversary I might agree, but it was a BIG one as far as I was concerned that needed a symbolic meaning to it. We didn’t even eat dinner together. If he had set the table with a candle and maybe flowers, some show of romance that would have helped me feel he still had intimate feelings towards me. That’s what hurt. Plus I did ask for the gift he got me for MY BIRTHDAY, so he didn’t even come up with anything original.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 ..I'm so sorry about your anniversary Jackie. It reminds me of my 25th. I had expected at least a dinner out but all I got was 15 minutes of his valuable time *see my eyes rolling* and a silver celtic cross I had wanted. Then he had to hurry because as usual he had work to do at night which at that point I knew wasn't true and didn't care anyway. I laughed in court when he asked the judge to make me return the 2 carat ring he gave me for our 25th! I got that on our 27th and last anniversary. The judge looked at him and pointed out all the items he had been ordered to return to me and hadn't stating they had been gifts. Ya right! I'm digressing here but Jackie you have every right to be disappointed but sometimes even the most loving husband can unintentionally be a temporary idiot. They just don't get it, or us.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011  ..Dump away on or off list anytime Jackie. I can empathize with so much of what you're going through. But you've got to put you and your needs first. And it's not a question of being selfish. If honoring the marriage vows he took 40 yrs ago is too much trouble for him, be honest with yourself and if you're comfortable with your relationship. But please don't feel bad about your health problems; my God, you didn't ask for them. I worry about the future too Jackie. I know I'll have no support from my kids, even Jana. That's why I am on the apt hunt when truth be told, I don't really want to move at all. But I worry about something happening with my help and somebody else having to deal with my stuff. I don't want to be a burden to anyone else either .... hugs, Cait RE: I'm here... Hey now!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011  ..Dump away on or off list anytime Jackie. I can empathize with so much of what you're going through. But you've got to put you and your needs first. And it's not a question of being selfish. If honoring the marriage vows he took 40 yrs ago is too much trouble for him, be honest with yourself and if you're comfortable with your relationship. But please don't feel bad about your health problems; my God, you didn't ask for them. I worry about the future too Jackie. I know I'll have no support from my kids, even Jana. That's why I am on the apt hunt when truth be told, I don't really want to move at all. But I worry about something happening with my help and somebody else having to deal with my stuff. I don't want to be a burden to anyone else either .... hugs, Cait RE: I'm here... Hey now! I was entirely pleased with Himself this year because he got me a rug steam cleaner - exactly what I ASKED for! ;-D (He usually disregards whatever useful thing I ask for as "not good enough for a present"...)T in WYPractical Blackwork Designshttp://practicalblackwork.comhttp://practical-blackwork.blogspot.com "You get a wonderful view from the point of no return..."-----Original Message-----From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of AnneSent: Wednesday, July 27, 2011 5:42 AMTo: MSersLife Subject: RE: I'm here...It is that dang Y chromosome – screws the pooch every time – at least it wasn’t a vacuum cleaner or a tool set for the car From: MSersLife [mailto:MSersLife ] On Behalf Of ThallasSent: Wednesday, July 27, 2011 2:16 AMTo: MSersLife Subject: RE: I'm here...AH, hon!

Had a very disappointing anniversary, and it has got me feeling very blue. I was so excited to give Steve his special gift, but I guess it wasn’t as important to get me a personal present from his heart. After 40 yrs you would think he could have been romantic. I won’t bore you with all the details, but I guess my expectations were too high. ☹I’ll check back in when I feel better.
