DH has got me a shit present

Just went to Amazon - used DH account as he has prime - to order a book for DS1. There is a book there DH has ordered which must be for me, and for Christmas. About ten years ago this was a subject I had some interest in but not for a decade. There is a subject I am very interested in at the moment that I regularly talk to DH and have no books on. Mind you, the reason I have no books on it is because I don't have time to read books. I would have more time to read books if DH shared an equal load of family chores. But when I mention this to DH he angrily argues that he does EVERYTHING and I do NOTHING.
So I made a list of all the things he does and all the things I do and asked to discuss it but he refuses to.

Or he could have got me a decent umbrella being as I have complained a lot about kids destroying my decent one and we live in a very rainy country.

In fact anything that shows he pays attention to who I am and what my life is would have done.

I don't want to read this fucking book, its just a reminder that this arsehole is utterly uninterested in me and can't be arsed to learn anything about me.

What if the book is for someone else? One of the kids? Another family member? I would have talked to him before cancelling it or getting annoyed just in case it's not for you.

The kids can't read and we aren't seeing anyone else. And of his family members he buys presents for none of them would be interested in this book.

@bottledants

What have you bought him for Xmas ?

If it's something he actually likes , take it straight the fuck back and get a refund. Then buy him something you like. Grin

At least that way, once he has opened it, complained loudly about it not being something he likes, and casting it rudely aside................ you can then grab it and keep it ! Grin

As for all your future Christmases, I'd be planning on having them without the twat !

Cheese is great too Grin
Not the point, but DH got me a Pong selection box last year. It was the best present ever.

He's fucked up this year and got me vegan chocolate instead of the sugar free ones I linked to on my list. I know because he mentioned lovely vegan chocolate and I had to remind him again: diabetes? His face dropped a bit. All he had to do was click the link, but nooooo he had to go off list again. Sigh.

When you read threads like this it makes you realise how little some men think of women. You deserve so much more.
