In the course of a row (I think he was trying to derail the actual row because he knew he was in the wrong there!), DH has told me that the presents I have given him over the course of our marriage have been unsatisfactory and are deeply revealing of my dislike of him. He cited two examples in particular. Exhibit One: the pajamas I bought him, 'from' one-year-old DD, for Father's Day last year. Apparently these are a thinly veiled insult, indicating that I do not want to look at or touch him, but want him covered up in bed. Never mind that he has always worn pajamas, that these were carefully chosen in his preferred style and materials, or that they were intended to be a gift from a baby for a daddy, not a sexy gift from his wife. Exhibit Two: the massage chair which was one of several gifts I gave him for Christmas two years ago. Not because he suffers from an aching back and I wanted to give him something that might help which he wouldn't buy for himself, but apparently because I can't be bothered to give him a back rub myself (he went on to say that when I do give him back rubs, they are no good). As for the gifts he gives me, I further fail because I don't even wear the fancy underwear he gave me a couple of years ago. I pointed out that I did wear it a couple of times, then was pregnant for nine months, and that the pretty underwear is now in a box with all the other pretty sexy things that do not fit on my post-pregnancy, nursing mother, body.
So....I am fat and my presents are shit.
FWIW, the actual row was pretty much about how our relationship is suffering because he makes no time for us to be alone together or prioritise the relationship. Obviously our sex life is not all it used to be.
