Coming up on One-Year of DB'ing...

I understand MF. You guys go out to dinner as a family all the time... so nothing "special" about that.

The flowers were a nice touch.

Don't let nice gestures fool you people. My STBXH bought me a $3500 anniversary ring for our 18 years last spring. He also handed me by wedding rings and sweetly asked me to please wear them again.

You see where I am. I am just saying nice gifts don't mean squat! So, don't read anything into not giving or getting gifts from you H.

He is where he is and it seems appropriate for where your relationship is at at this point. Remember he stresses about money so if you appear to be unhappy with the flower... might he think "oh, see mf hasnt' changed at all, she expects vacations and such like I did in the past"... I'm not saying he thinks this but he may. Your 180..... the flowers where the bomb. Brag about them to a friend in front of your H.

Hey, but what the heck do I know anyway.
