DH hasn't even acknowledged he didn't buy me an Easter egg

[bitdisgruntled]

Just that tbh. I was kind of expecting that he hadn’t as a few times in the past I’ve bought my own ( but told him when I had) and there was no obvious last minute dash to the shop on Saturday night. Then this morning the children got theirs from the Easter bunny and he was half jokingly complaining to the children that he’d been left out. Then I gave him his egg (which incidentally was one of the larger eggs, much bigger than the children’s) in a bit of a rush as we were going to church and he didn’t say thank you or say anything at all really. We’re home from my DM’s house now and still no “Tadah! Here’s your egg.” He hasn’t given me anything and hasn’t even mentioned the fact that he got me nothing. It’s not the lack of an egg that bothers me - there’s loads of chocolate in the house. It’s the lack of, well I don’t exactly know - just an “ I didn’t manage to get you anything this year” would have been ok. I realise it sounds childish, totally prepared to be told iabu

We always buy each other eggs! Dear God...its an excuse for nice chocolate...what's wrong with everyone!?????

OP - make him share it! And yes...I'd have a word - are we getting each other eggs, or not?

Ach, maybe he forgot it was Easter.

It was thoughtless, but perhaps he'll buy you a big box of chocolates tomorrow to make up for it? He must have felt guilty when you gave him his, I would think.

Seriously? Wtaf? Who are you people?

No fucker bought me an Easter egg either. Bastards! 😬

I'm going to go along with 'adults buying each other surprise eggs' even though I think WTF?...

Did you eat his egg OP?

In future, buy yourself a massive egg and nothing for him.

I thought Easter eggs were for children.

I must be missing something as in nearly 40 years dp and I have been together we have never bought each other a chocolate egg

Just talk to your OH. Simple. It sounds like you wanted an egg and you didn’t get one. Why ask on MN if YABU? Just go have a word with your OH... like: “I am disappointed that you didn’t get me an egg. It would have been very nice. A little thought goes a long way with me. Please next year get me an egg. Now can I share your chocolate egg?” Take his egg and eat it

Not sure why people are being rude. If you're expecting an egg, it's going to be disappointing to not get one. If your DH knows you will be disappointed, it is very rubbish of him to have not bought anything. It's £2 in any supermarket he's been near in the last few months, so not even a major effort.

And you should, of course, now share his egg since he hasn't got you one of your own.

I want my egg!! I want to hunt for it too.

That's so funny OP.

April fool joke!!

I would be absolutely gutted if I didn't get an egg, and I usually get one from the cat as well! Haven't you naysayers noticed the posh, obviously intended for adults ones in the shops?

I didnt know adults got eggs

Last year I bought my dh an egg. He was genuinely shocked - eggs are for children. I didn't bother this year and he didn't even notice. :)

It really isn't a big deal. Go to Asda today and buy a marked down one.

Of course adults can have Easter eggs! I think the op is getting a bit of a hard time for this.

Typically we don't buy each other eggs and when I was growing up my mum just bought eggs for all the family in the weekly shop. Would dh just have assumed you'd already bought one yourself?

If you are Christian then you'd better step away from them pagan eggs. Heard god is a bit judgy about that stuff.

You've had a hard time on here.

Your DH moaned about not getting an egg but a)hadn't bothered to get you one and b) didn't say thank you.

It's rude. Have you spoken to him about it?

THIS ISN’T ABOUT THE FUCKING EGGS!
This is about your inconsiderate DH expecting a present when he knew full well he hadn’t got you one.
This requires a chat about the fact his complacency and lack of care for you is making you unhappy and that it will eventually kill any love you have for him. Is that what he wants?

It would never occur to my husband to buy me an Easter Egg. I buy myself one when I buy his and the children's, when I am at the supermarket. It's just normal shopping in our house.

I wouldn't expect one, but the I didn't buy DH one either. I douldnt really be buying for the kids in their 20s but I did.

If you wanted an egg, ask for one and say what type. Husbands are not psychic.

Ditto fifth. Or if we happen to be shopping together we'll choose one. Not come across adult partners making a fuss of secretly buying and gifting each other before. Yes to adult eggs being bought but not the whole "what did you get me?" Thing or disappointment. I'd kind of expect whoever did the shopping that week to possibly pick on up for the adults. We shared a lovely one!

As a fully functioning adult, I don’t expect random gifts on any occasion apart from a token gesture at Christmas. Easter eggs are choccy treats for kids, not compulsory gestures of affection from other grown ups. OP please get a grip.

Easter is more important to Christians than Christmas

Is it eck!
