DW asked me for a birthday list which I compiled with quite a few possible items. However she went off list and gave me a picture (relating to an interest of mine) which she liked and had suggested I buy a few months previously. I did say that it was nice and she knows its not a question of affordability, but I didn't buy it as I'm not into decorative stuff, I'm more of a practical person.
Obviously I've acted delighted on the outside but inside I'm really quite disappointed that after nearly 2 decades of marriage she still doesn't know me well enough to know that I'm not into art and décor in the same way she is and I'm wondering why bother asking for a list only to ignore it. AIBU?
