i don't want to seem petty but my husband never buys me birthday, christmas or mothers day gifts or even cards. he at least bought cards for his mom & step dad and bought his step dad a fathers day present but he didn't get me a mothers day card- and it was my first mothers day-that really hurt my feelings. I make a point to buy him a card and a little something if money allows. i don't want to seem petty but should i keep getting him cards and a little present if he doesn't ever remember me or should i consider it a sign he doesn't feel the same about those types of things and stop buying them for him?

Wow that's so horrible... Have you ever talked to him about how you feel? I think you should continue on showing your love/appreciation/congratulations to him. But when you do talk to him about it just let him know that you never forget or neglect to get him something special. My boyfriend doesnt believe in Valentines day and that really hurt my feelings also. Our very first valentines day he didnt even call me... :( the past 3 years the only time he got me anything was when his father ordered flowers for me because he felt bad. But this last year, i sat him down and told him I know it's a stupid holiday created by the candy companies but it really hurts my feelings... That valentines day he surprised me with a giant bear, a dozen roses, my favorite movie, and a card that said he was so sorry and he didnt know I felt that way and he would never had known if I hadn't told him.
I hope I helped... Good luck.

Have your hubby open up a savings account with him & his daughter on it. You can send card to her and say dad & I or step grammy put $20 or X amount in your special account. Then when she visits you you can take her shopping for something she wants. Or when she is older she can use that for college or a house or a car whatever. This way your money is not going to waste and you can actually make sure the girl gets use of it. Or you may want to start to get a savings bonds and suggest that to your mom. It seems like your mom wants to give the girl a gift, but can not see the sense in wasting her money and I would agree with her.

there are different "love languages". yours is in part giving/receiving gifts. observe how your hubby shows his love for you. It may be doing things instead of buying things. It may be verbalizing his feeling to you. there are at least 7 love languages (book by that name). let him know how you feel. he will respond if he knows your "language"

If every other thing is ok between u2 than it simply means that he feels he has grown out of these small little gesture which might have looked good at one particular time.

No, but I did it to show them that it's not about what you get in return it's about give. An that GOD would give to them in an other ways. I believe I was bless to just get by an make my children happy.

Do onto others (including your hubby) as you would have them do unto you.
