Cleo_II 05/29/18 7:19:35 PM #1:	His bday is Friday and I have no idea what to get him. Ive run out of ideas. He likes tech but he has everything. In the past, I got him Alexa, GoPro, time capsule (in the good days of apple), PS4 pro. He already has an iPad Pro, MacBook Pro and Apple Watch. I also booked experiences for him. He dreamed of sailing so I got him sailing classes one year. He likes military stuff and so I took him on a fighter jet simulation where you fight against other players last year. Now I just have no clue. I know he needs a new tie because our cat ripped his favorite one. Is that a cheesy gift? He rarely wears ties. Any other ideas? Budget is anywhere from $100-300 <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:902204024] in CE help me... [t:76655656]...</cite> <quote>His bday is Friday and I have no idea what to get him. Ive run out of ideas.

Experiences are better than stuff. edit: i mean like limited time stuff, not things that are always there. traveling exhibits, shows, concerts, etc. --- https://imgur.com/O3syCWD https://imgur.com/k3YiBdG <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:902261955] in CE help me...

Cleo_II 05/30/18 4:58:16 PM #36:	Gahhhh part of me is wondering why Im bothering. Hes been really bad at gifts lately. He got me a card on Christmas, no gift. A card on Valentines Day and also no gift. He forgot our anniversary and its why were having a do-over in a few weeks. He took me to a jewelry store and had me pick out what I wanted two days after. He never plans dinner on my bday, just asks me where I want to go day of. The most hell typically get me is flowers but always red roses which arent my favorite flowers. He knows what they are, got them for my birthday years ago and never bothered to remember what I liked. I know he will put 0 effort into my birthday thats coming up. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:902263856] in CE help me... [t:76655656]...</cite> <quote>Gahhhh part of me is wondering why Im bothering.

Never gets you gifts, forgets anniversary, doesn't talk to you for days because he's gaming, putting on weight? Maybe get him a trip to a psychiatrist.

But yeah, he stopped putting in the effort a few years ago. Right after we got married. Gained about 30 lbs and stopped doing anything romantic. He has been depressed and started seeing a counselor. So Ive been patient and working things out with him. Him forgetting our anniversary really hurt though because I actually sat down with him 2 weeks before to talk about his lack of effort and point blank told him what I wanted from him. Hes been trying to make it up so I want to give him that chance and not let his actions affect mine. But Im also bitter lately. Which is why its just a couple days before his bday and I have no ideas. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:902264661] in CE help me...

KILBOTz 05/30/18 5:31:59 PM #39:	This sounds like a sitcom plot. Oafish husband gets wife card for birthday (annoyed Marge grunt), a card for Valentine's (louder annoyed Marge grunt), forgotten anniversary after a sit down (packing up suit case to stay with her sisters with crying). You have two paths to choose from in sitcom land. One is some sort of just desserts birthday present. Like if he would never abandon a dog but doesn't want a dog, then you get him a dog. Something that will be a constant reminder. Result of this is you "win" and the episode ends with a laugh track because the audience knows you will win some and lose some in the eternal struggle of man and wife. Other path is taking the high road, getting him something nice, etc. You can rest assured if you take this route sometime either when you are shopping or more likely yet, doing whatever you are doing, some guy who had a semi-interesting intersecting sub-plot you were not aware of WILL aggressively hit on you in front of your husband. When this inevitably happens when you choose this path, it is up to you how to use this attention. --- https://imgur.com/O3syCWD https://imgur.com/k3YiBdG <cite>KILBOTz posted [p:902265876] in CE help me...

With how your spoiling him I figured he did the same for you but if that is not the case honestly you should NOT go out of your way to do this for him.
