This morning when I woke up, I found a nice box of Russell Stover chocolates (in a heart shaped box) on the kitchen table.
I noticed a bit of dust on the package...but ignored it.
I opened the box and bit into it and noticed the candy was rock hard...
I seriously think my wife purchased this chocolate after valentines day last year and kept it hidden all year...
...she does this at christmas time where she buys wrapping paper and holds it until the next year.
We keep a real clean house, so the dust isn't from us...besides, if she did buy it this week at a store, there is no way it could collect that much from the store shelf to our home...
Now, I went to a jewelry store and spent close to 800.00 on her necklace I plan on giving her tonight, now I'm having second thoughts.
I'm disgusted with her (considering I give her a life where she doesn't even have to work)
How do I approach this situation? I'm really disgusted with her right now...

As a man, I need to tell you that you sound kind of unmanly. You sound like a woman for getting upset over something as trivial as a V-day present. Valentine's Day is for women, not men. So hold your tongue, dismiss your foolish anger, and give her the necklace.

This time don't buy presents from the dollar store. What it looks like is that you spend only a few bucks on your wife and buy several hundred bucks worth of stuff for yourself. It looks rather lopsided there and does give the impression that you put your own wants first rather(even when buying presents). It actually makes it look like you don't truly value her. From now on when buying her presents/gifts, Do not go out and spend a bunch of money on things you want, because it looks very asinine. Take her out to a nice restaurant, get a couple dozen roses, some good chocolates(sees Candy's, or from another candy shop), and arrange for her to have a day at a spa.

You should be straight forward and ask her to tell you the truth and say it wont hurt your feelings it will really make you happy because she was being so considerate trying to "save the family money" then after she comes clean with what you already know to be true....
Give her the snottiest face you can think of and then say well at least one of us is truly still inlove with eachother and then throw her her present and walk away from her and dont talk to her for like 4 days and do whatever you want to do all weekend heck go rent a room at a nice hotel order room service with an indoor pool go have some drinks at night at the bar dont call her and reflect on your "marriage and see what it is really you want to do with your life REALLY!

why dont you do this be sarcastic excuse my spelling give her the present and then tell her thank you hun for the chocolate from last year. And then for her not get upset at you give her a hug and a kiss and tell her it's the thought that counts even at it cause remeber men that the material things is not important in life what counts is the thought and the love that you too have from one another good luck and try atleast to enjoy the day

if the dust isn't from your house, then it's from the store that kept that old chocolate since last V-Day. your wife's at fault for not noticing dust on the package but she probably didn't buy them on sale after v-day last year and hide them- if you make good money and she doesn't have to work, why would she have to buy sale priced candy? besides, it's the thought that counts so you cough up that necklace buddy!

Ever seen postsecret.com? Check it out. :)
Nothing more I can add to the advice given, but if my husband wasted that much money on jewelry I'd throw the candy at him and hope it was stale enough to leave bruises. Especially if we or I was strapped for cash enough to have to buy discount chocolates.
Or could be she resents you so much for trapping her in a real clean house where she doesn't even have to work that she just doesn't care anymore.
If it truly bothers you, let her know; she deserves the warning.

Be thankful you have a wife that even thinks of you. I am alone this valentines for the first time in 17 years as my husband just passed away. The little things like this are really not that big if you look at the whole picture. How about making her eat them and suggesting that she shop for your chocolates at a place where they make them fresh. Love her, don't look for reasons not to.

I would ask her if she still has the receipt for the candy - apparently the store sold her a dated/stale box, and you'd like to return it and complain. The look on her face should tell you. As for the $800 gift? Return it, and buy her something more practical - like some fresh candy.

She is going to be really upset if she finds out blew $800 on a stupid necklace. If you don't like the candy don't eat it.
How can you be disgusted with your wife for this little thing?
