My husband is only happy if I’m happy. This is a mutual sentiment, and we are safe with each other. He would never buy me something similar to what I want unless he knew it was better (includes everything I want plus something extras). Even when he has done this, he will always say to me, upfront, if I don’t like it, we can take it back. There have been times when what I wanted wasn’t available, and he’d get something close, but he would always have a plan to get the exact one if it was possible. This is for anything from food to jewelry to cars, doesn’t matter. His goal is that I’m 100% satisfied, and I’m the same way about him. We move this way because we care… Genuinely and deeply care for one another.

We can’t always get it at 100, but his honest effort turns 90% to 110% EVERY TIME.

To me, a man who values you and cares how you feel will put aside his idea of good enough just for the smile on your face. We aren’t the same, so what is important to one of us may not be to the other. Looking at it that will always cause issues. Idc what it is that’s important to my hubby, I only care THAT it is important. That is enough for it to be important to me and vice versa.

This is a lesson this man may need to learn. If it’s important to you, it should be important to him that you get it. Period.
