I feel really good about H's gift, I have no expectation of getting anything at all from H, but that's okay, I'm just happy I can give him something really nice this year.
I just wish H could show a little more enthusiasm about the evening, I know this last year for US hasn't been the best year, but nevertheless we are married and still married, H is at home and I have to beleive it's not just for our S, so why not do something to acknowledge that fact alone! And it will also give H and I some alone time, time to talk, as H claims we never do. I feel like I don't even know my H anymore.
I know that a lot of H's words ARE just words. I really don't think my H knows how to express himself with words that mean something to me, that I can understand. Rather than "stupid" or "dumb" which could mean a number of things when they come out of my H's mouth.
