I don't think my husband will get me anything for Christmas. Of the 6 years we have know one another, he has only gotten me a Christmas present last year. I get him presents every year, more since we got married. I know Christmas isn't about presents, but it hurts me to see all the presents displayed and all are for him and only 1 is for me that a friend gave me. I was thinking of buying myself gifts so that I could have something to open on Christmas. I love opening gifts. I am not picky. I gave my husband suggestions. I sent links to his email to give him ideas. I don't want him to spend a lot of money on expensive gifts, I just want him to make the effort to get out of his selfishness and spend some time on doing something for me.

BTW, I am the wife who's husband does not help clean up, we have 5-6 unfinished projects around the house that he hasn't made a move to finish, and one project is over a year old.

I think you should get yourself a whole assortment of presents and this year get him two or three presents. Small in size but still thoughtful.....and make sure your pressies fill up the entire room. Sometimes, actually most of the time actions speak far louder than words.
And pray. God is able.
God bless and good luck

Buy yourself some presents! I think that's a marvelous idea! I did the same thing for years myself. For some reason our spouses think we're not human, and don't want gifts.....like everyone else. If I got anything, I had to buy it myself, wrap it, and put it under the tree. Go get you whatever you want! You deserve it! For what it's worth, it's not that he doesn't like Christmas....he doesn't love you. My ex left a few years ago after she got her gifts, 2 days after Christmas.....maybe yours will do the same. It's the BEST thing she ever did for me. Good Luck and Merry Christmas!!

Lol...My father replaced into continually like that, except he would wait untill Christmas eve and he does not wrap some thing, he would basically come residing house and provides you my mom what he offered. that's unusual how adult males are so undesirable at getting presents. My husband isn't a lot more beneficial about it both. possibly you may purchase some thing for the kin and also you may open it for anybody, that way it is your preasent besides the indisputable fact that that's unlike to procure it only for your self.

Yes! Go for it! I buy presents for myself because my husband just doesn't know what to buy me. It's a lot less hassle for both of us. I even wrap them up so I have something to open on Christmas morning. (Sometimes I forget what they are so I actually am surprised. lol) But, I don't work outside the home so I ask him if I can have x-amount of dollars before I shop. I am sorry to hear the negative things you have to say about your husband. Sounds like a nice, sit-down, heart-to-heart talk on a date-night would be a good present too. :)

Don't buy him anything. See how he likes it. I had a selfish bastard like this too. The only time he bought me a Christmas present was the year after I left him. Too little to late. Buy yourself anything you want honey.

Since he does not appreciate you or the gifts.....spend it on yourself....Hell yes.....buy yourself some gifts.....& let one of them be the retainage fee for your new lawyer so you can get free of this uncaring selfish butt, and find someone who will treat you better.......& maybe another could be to hire someone to hellp you finish those unfinished projects......

Go on a shopping spree and buy yourself presents. Lots and lots of them too.

stop buying him stuff and spend the money on yourself--my husband always ignored my birthday until I started ignoring his.
now he is the first person that says something about it and does something.
