I had planned on giving my H a small gift as a thank you when he informed me he had paid the utilities for the month of Dec.
When the exchange between D18 and H took place a couple days ago with H claiming that he had been taken for granted for years,it gave me pause as to whether I should give him a gift. I wanted him in no way to think that that was why he was getting one from me. After thinking about it for a while I decided I was going ahead with it regardless. I can't control what he thinks. It was simply a gesture of my appreciation.
