It's probably because she didn't make a big deal out of it and you were trying to downplay the uncomfortable situation. I do things like that when I'm uncomfortable. Later I could have come up with good responses like "I hope you like it, I really tried to get you something I thought you would like." and think why couldn't I have said something like that. But you know what they say hindsight is 20/20. I've certainly been there, done that.
Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. -- Bernice Johnson Reagon
I am holding a steady course right now. I have been doing most of what the book I am reading says to do. (Except the dating part, although it does say that dating does not mean sleeping with). I am on page 67 and there are 33 pages left. A lot of what the book says is the same thing that is said here so it must work. I think though it depends allot on when you start practicing it.
For those of you that have been served the "papers". It mentions many times that even after people were divorced they ended up back together. For those of you whose spouse told you that ” I just don't love you anymore and I am not happy" (like mine did) a survey was taken and 80% of the spouses that said this and got divorced were still not happy 2 years later and said if they could do it all over again they would have worked on their marriage instead of getting divorced. SOOOOO the odds are in our favor,
Got to go to bed I’ll be back at 4:00 am California time

And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
Husband - I am also about half way through the book. I agree that it mostly follows DB techniques. It's just nice to hear it from a different voice. BTW, great pix. Looks like a nice trip you all had.
I too am coming up on an anniversary. I don't know if I should get her a gift or not. I have no reason to believe that she will get me nothing, probably not even a card. I am still on the fence as to whether to acknowledge the day or not. Truth be told, there is a concert that night that I would love to attend. I may take my son instead. How about that for a message? I go out with my son on our anniversary night??
Whether you acknowledge the day outwardly or not you both will know it's your anniversary. Do what feels right for YOU!I chose to make a joke. It was always our tradition to have eggs benedict for breakfast. So I sent H a tm message saying I had a new idea for our "non-anniversary celebration":an egg mcmuffin. He sent me a message back that night that he was sorry it was such a lousy anniversary.
Husband, I look forward to hearing about the rest of the book.
Hey, I have just managed to make myself a my space - I am so chuffed. I was inspired by husbands photos. Have only managed to load up 3 pics so far and one of them was a sofa but one does involve a bikini, (but no slurping Theo). Take a look if you want at http://www.myspace.com/eastersaffron
