What does your significant other do that is inconsiderate around the holidays?

1. My husband and I always say that we arent going to exchange gifts. I always go out of my way to get him something that I think he would like just cause when I am shopping I see it and it reminds me of him. Either a shirt or dept 56 piece just something. The other day he said I hope you didnt get me anything cause I didnt get you and Im not planning on it. I told him I did. He said then return it. I figuredeit would be something from the kids if not from me. He gets me so mad about this.

2. I told him how I signed up for the NY cares program. He asked me why? I told him I felt there are other people out there who are less fourtonate then us. (Somedays we barely make ends meet). I want to teach the boys how lucky they are not only cause they have both sets of parents. But cause they are lucky enough to get what they want most of the time. He also says nobody ever did anything for me when I was younger. His family was bad when he was younger and nobody ever helped him so I can kinda understand the bad taste about thta but he shouldnt tkae away from others I feel.


Just gets me upset. If I could buy tons of gifts I would.

DH is extremely social with his own set of friends but not so much with mine. He tends to make me go to holiday parties alone. Just last night my friend had a bunch of people over for dinner and I went solo and made an excuse for his where-abouts. Saturday night we're going to a X-mas party at some woman's house that he works with that's like and hour from home. But the next day is my work party and I'll either wind up going alone or not going at all.

I bought all the presents already for both families--his and mine, because he HATES to shop. Last night I was showing him all of the purchases I was so proud of and I didn't even get a thank you--just criticism about how another color might have been better, etc.

He always guesses his presents. Sometimes it is unintentional but other times he tries! Also, I tell him not to buy himself things in December (so he doesn't buy himself what I have bought him) but sometimes he forgets and ends up buying his gifts!
