I'm sorry I locked up your thread. I had a lot to say and actually more then I posted since its been awhile.
Last Christmas, my wife did not give me a thing, not even from our 2 children, not even a card. Last year I got her a few things, including stocking stuffers. At that time she said that I thought we agreed not to get anything for each other. I said, you said that, I never agreed to that so don't feel guilty. Besides, it wouldn't feel so much like Christmas without giving you something.
This year I planned on just getting her one gift. My daughter said that mom got me something for Christmas from each of us. I assumed she got me one gift. Therefore, I assumed that meant one gift which she did do. But she also got me two movies, slippers, a pajama bottom that says New York Yankees and a massage machine. I was very surprised.
There still is not any intamacy, the only time we touch each other is to shake hands at church when everyone gives the sign and say, "Peace be With you'"
I bought her one thing, a Catholic Bible for Women. I hope she reads it. She said thank you but will see. A few friends of mine said that is a great gift when I purchased it about two weeks ago. In fact, one of them said, "You can only plant the seed in her mind, its up to her to water it so it grows and bears fruit." There were other highlighted stories in this book about Faith, Humility, Compassion, Love, Hope, etc. I hope some day she allows God to enter her Heart because then she will also find peace.
