How would you feel if your spouse of 30 plus years got you a $2 gift for your birthday?

Litterally a $2 knockoff fake perfume...

and did not even take you out to eat?

If we were financially restrained I wouldnt care but if that's all the effort he deemed equal to the occasion under other circumstances I'd feel unloved

@PepsiColaP thank you! I say at least do a meal. Doesn't need to be fancy, just make some effort

@iamnikki yeah to be honest I prefer something thoughtful and inexpensive it could be a letter of things they may find difficult to express directly that are about us ,something sentimental anyway ,than anything that just shows indifference regardless of the price haha. If we were struggling with money thought but he had thought long and decided on that it would be romantic I guess but yeah in other circumstances its hurtful
