DH ignores my list and buys me a cheap watch

[Bluesky91]

I specifically told DH what I wanted. It was my birthday 2 days ago, he bought me a cheap watch that I hate. I’m not a watch person.

He saw the disappointment, but ignores it. Yet, he didn’t bother getting me something that I really want at 1/2 the price.

I just don’t get it. Why would anyone do this?

He NEVER bought me anything expensive ever! Money isn’t a problem.

He's showing you how much he cares - not at all

Does he spend freely on other things? Some people just find it hard to part with money.

Buy what you want yourself, or specifically take them out and make them buy it for you. You get what you want then

Just stop buying each other presents and buy yourself what you want.

As to whether it is high end, low end, cheap. Who has a clue? I always wear a watch. Feel naked without one. But definitely don't care how much it costs so long as it works and has a nice, easy to read face. Had to replace my old one recently and I got a perfectly good one from TKMax for £20. I don't get why brand matters.

Anyone who’s into watches knows, you can tell a lot about someone by the watch they wear. Personally I just enjoy wearing a high quality watch, the more subtle the better. Hate Rolexes for example, would never wear one.
