I've NCed as I feel a bit silly.

Also wasn't sure where to post this.

I've brought DP a few gifts, that although aren't expensive, had a lot of thought put into them.

I know you don't give to receive but I'm a bit hurt that he hasn't got me anything. I would have been over the moon with a box of chocolates.

I hope our eldest DC doesn't comment on the fact I don't have any presents to open tomorrow.

I know I should be used to it as I've never had so much as a birthday card off him, let alone a Mother's Day card ect, so I don't know why I feel so sad this year. I think it's because I won't be seeing my mum until next week so at least normally, I'd have something to open on Christmas Day.

Sorry I just wanted to get that out. I know many people have much worse problems. Just feeling a bit sorry for myself. I'll still have a fantastic day with the DC tomorrow with or without presents! Smile

My dh asked me what I wanted and I said I don't know. He then asked me to buy something for myself as he wouldn't have time. I then said I'll just go to the sales so I received nothing from him on Christmas day. I got him two presents and because of the busyness of christmas day I didn't give one until yesterday and he had the nerve to ask why I didn't give to him on Christmas day!

I'm sorry others didn't get presents either. As you've said, it isn't about the present, It's what it represents.

Massively disrespectful and thoughtless. Enough to signal the beginning of the end if it was my relationship

The fact he thought it was perfectly reasonable for you all to be sitting around the tree and you had nothing to open would be the death knell I'm afraid.

Eventually DP just half laughted and said mummy hasn't got any. I'd hit him with the Christmas tree for you OP just for that alone. He's a mean spirited nasty man.

Onwards and upwards to a happy 2015 OP Smile

I am sorry you received no present this christmas from your partner

I know some people who do not exchange gifts, but give money for people to buy things in the sales or to save for something later in the year eg holiday

If money is tight, presents can be hand made - hand made can be so much nicer sometimes !

I think that he has being rude and lazy

Do you think he enjoyed seeing your reaction ? - does he have some sort of hidden agenda ???

I would certainly look closely at what happens in other aspects of your relationship

Please find a big box of lovely assorted virtual chocolates from myself

I agree actions speak louder than words !

Take care & happy new year x
