My husband keeps buying me plant for birthdays/ Christmas etc. I've mentioned throughout our relationship that I'm not a fan of plants. I domt like clutrer so indont like plants everywhere and I can't keep them alive so they end up in the bin. Yesterday he came home and presented me with a little rose plant ( he said he gotnot because he never suprises me with gifts). It was lovely but again it's a plant that I will kill soon and we had had a talk earlier in the day about trying to save every penny as we want to go on a nice family holiday soon. I smiled and thanked him but felt hurt that he doesn't seem to know me after nearly 6 years. Today i droped ontp conversation that im not keen on plants as I cant keep them alive and he said "I know" so I asked why do you keep buying me them then? And he said he was just trying to be romantic. AIBU to think he's a bit of a prat, if he wants to be romantic there are plenty of things I actually love that he could get me. To be honest he's a bit crap with gifts in general. For the last 3 birthdays he's gone To the local boutique on my birthday and grabbed me a necklace (I also hate jewellery).
