Thanks everyone, I will blame it on the bourbon It is actually very hard for me just to completely let myself go, express myself and I actually don't do well with commitment. I think it has to do with my professional training and always having to pick and chose my words wisely so no one can pin me down. She knows it it is too early, she is meeting my mom tonight and just a couple of weeks ago she said that we needed to spend more time around each others kids. Deep down inside I am sure she could be a little disappointed deep down inside she knows.
Shopping for her was hard and leading up to it I was dreading Christmas shopping because I didn't want to spend the money. Yes DH, you are right in some ways it is a benefit although I ordered 95% of mine on Amazon so avoided all of the store madness. She is not easy to shop for so that made it a little bit challenging as well. She is coming over tonight for dinner, I am cooking and we will be doing our gift exchange this evening also. She got my girls presents as well and her son won't be present either so what I got him she will just take home with her this evening.
Well G you said to do something more than just a box of chocolates and a coffee mug!
Thanks L, I am not sure what my XW currently values but obviously whatever it is she believed that I was not able to bring it to the table. My XW was also spoiled, had it on easy street, and didn't even know it as she had experienced any other men her entire adult life. It's funny when I think about the DR. and how much more she appreciates me as she knows what it is like to be with another spouse that let her down in many ways.
