I hate to sound childish but...
In early November my husband decided to max out his credit card and get a loan to buy tools for him to work on a project car he didn't even have and without discussing it with me first. Then two weeks ago he wanted money to buy said project car, picked one out and made arrangements to purchase, again without talking to me first. The money had to come out of our savings, which was meant for a couch.
He kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas and I would tell him I wanted a couch or the dining room painted. We already have the paint and supplies. He just hasn't done it. Then he waited until last night, 1/2 hour before the mall closed to drag me into the jewelry store to get an anniversary band. I asked him how he planned on buying it and he said he would apply for credit. I told him he would get denied since we just bought a house in august and he maxed out his card, and got a loan.
He got denied, and they offered layaway, but we couldn't afford the monthly payment for that so we left empty handed.
He got over touchy-feely with me and apologetic. Because he couldn't afford to get me what he wanted.
I'm just annoyed because he had only thought of himself for months, knowing Christmas was coming. He didn't make an effort to shop or even look until last minute. He didn't have to make a production out of buyin a gift. He could have painted my dining room like I asked, and I would have been happy.
I bought him a ps4 with the legacy version of call of duty and he loves it. And he knew I had bought him a gift and how much it cost since I bought it on cyber Monday.
I had to tell everyone all day that he didn't get me anything whe they asked. And I'll have to tell people at work the same tomorrow. I'm really sorry if this sounds whiny or childish, but it would be nice to be thought about and surprised, even if it didn't cost much.
