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?

Gifts are overrated. What I would much rather have on my birthday would be for my husband (if I had one lol) to cancel or not have any plans that day other than to be with me, make me dinner, maybe a cake, in other words, to make me feel special and a priority that day.

@thinkbigaboutlife I'd like that also. But this person is not romantic and would never do that. He avoids her actually

@iamnikki sorry to hear that. But it could be as simple as letting your partner know the romantic “rules” lol. I expect flowers or I expect a card. Average Men are clueless unles they have a lot of sisters telling the brothers what to do. In my partners life gift giving was not a thing. Neither were celebrations. I’ve had to help him understand celebrations are excuses to bring people and family together. It was weird. Ironically NOW that the parents are old, they LIKE these reasons to get to gather. I’m sorry. Off topic again. Oh well. I have had to coach a few male coworkers to buy their wives something. It’s been fun and funny.

@Mindful yea, I'll make sure my future significant other knows that my birthday is a big deal. Didn't get much for birthdays. It was either chuck e cheese or a backyard hotdog party. As an adult, parties were no better so I stopped celebrating them. My future S.O will know that I want to be celebrated.
