What does this mean?- the WH's regrets?

Hi Gatsby, that is nice of your WH to give you a gift. Just wondering- why haven't you said thank you for anything?

I think my WH always regretted not giving me a gift or card last year on Mother's Day! He felt like an ass when he saw that everyone else acknowledged it! He said "I didn't think you wanted to talk to me or would accept it" but I still gave him a birthday present! (his bday is in May)
