I do appreciate how important it is to be able to vent, but I hope it is useful to have people point out the positives in our lives. Yes, i am sure you would rather be with someone who expressed his love for you, and be poor, but all I was trying to say is that many people have even less than you - their h has left, and they have huge financial worries. It isn't a case for them of 'having' to buy the gifts alone, but not even being able to afford any.
But do have a good moan if it helps!! just don't forget to have a laugh at yourself when it is over. I wouldn't have written this if I didn't like you.
