We rarely get presents for each other at Christmas, birthdays, etc. Too many kids, etc. We like to get things during the year, not when you're "supposed" to. Works for us!!

Yes 25 years now. I look into his heart and try to ignore what he says or does. Like when we were building a home and it came time to pick finishes for the kitchen. I asked him when he wanted to do that and he said "you do it hun since the kitchen is your place". My GF ducked and slithered out of the room. I just laughed cause I knew what he meant.

My Mother in-law once gave me two bubble head poodle dogs with bright red lips and the following year she gave me a plate that had dogs and cats holding hands forming a circle around the plate. I "accidentally" dropped it.

A dishwasher.. we needed a newer one but it was the birth of my second baby.. first baby? I got two dozen roses and a diamond necklace.. second baby? I got one rose and came home to a combo birthday/new baby gift of a .. dishwasher. After that year he NEVER gave me appliances again. Smart man. Granted I used the new one but we were going to get it anyways.. to toss it in like that.. bad bad plan.
