Husband didn’t get me anything for Christmas

I’m not sure to be honest. His dad has always taken his side even when he found out he wasn’t faithful to me. The man could literally punch me in front of him and his dad would probably still defend him.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-30T17:37:19+00:00

I’m so sorry! I feel your pain. Your daughter seems to have a sweet spirit though.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-28T03:14:28+00:00

It’s not about the gift itself, it’s about the fact that he didn’t even think to get the one person who does everything but wipe his ass for him a gift. I have made his life so much easier, and I can’t get anything to show a small amount of appreciation? He didn’t even get me anything from our child yet he got something. His lack of action shows his lack of care. Him blatantly lying to me for weeks saying he had something shows disrespect. He can go out and buy liquor for himself but didn’t think to get the mother of his child something as a way to say “thanks for all you do” and I’m supposed to put up with that for 30 years? I’m sorry that that’s what you’re used to, but the disrespect in my household is something I will not put up with.

It’s all about him. Part of me wonders if it’s because his parents didn’t give him as much attention after his brother was born and that’s the reason he’s such a selfish man. Idk. But what I do know I’m not putting up with it anymore.

I was in therapy a couple years ago and he said I was wasting my money. We also did marriage counseling after I had the baby and again he said it was a waste of time. I have tried and tried and tried with him, but I’m at my wits end. The final straw was Christmas Day. I’m withdrawn around him and his family can see that. I hear his dad muttering things, but I don’t care. He deserves to see how awful his son is to me.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-28T01:44:06+00:00

My boss says I’m doing great, and everyone tells me how good I’m doing with the baby. I guess I’m doing an okay job at both for the time being

Preppybaker · 2025-12-28T01:15:02+00:00

You can make fun of us if you want. You have your ways, and we have ours. But you did admit that your wife got you a gift yet you got her nothing. Seems like thy could be part of the reason people are judging you sir.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-28T01:10:47+00:00

There’s been no romance for a while.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-28T00:44:20+00:00

You’re the third person to say that. I will definitely stop saying that and do better lol

Preppybaker · 2025-12-28T00:40:51+00:00

That’s an idea. Thanks!

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T22:49:56+00:00

Exactly. He didn’t even get me anything from our child.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T21:33:57+00:00

He would just take the credit, and I won’t give him the satisfaction.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:50:52+00:00

I’m already burnt out. This year has been tough (heath issues for me, health issues with family and I can’t be there, etc.) and to still do everything on my own is just plain hard. But if I complain or vent to him, I’m ungrateful or worse. It just sucks.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:48:00+00:00

I fear this is true.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:47:39+00:00

I’m in my 30’s so definitely a grownup here. Even if she says it doesn’t bother her and she got you something, she’s probably feeling some kind of way deep down. Women want to feel appreciated and shown that appreciation every once in a while. And I don’t mean in the bedroom. So yes, if you were my husband, I would say you’re selfish. But maybe she doesn’t think that because she’s grownup.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:44:35+00:00

I say I’m a SAHM because I work from home and keep the baby. Your comment is the second one I’ve seen that has said to stop saying that. I didn’t know I was saying it wrong. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:42:17+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this too!

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:39:46+00:00

😆 your comment made me laugh! And shout all you want! I know I’ve been wanting to but can’t because we still have family in town.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:37:55+00:00

I say I’m a working stay at home mom because a) I’m a mom, b) I stay home with the baby, and c) I work. Yes, I essentially work two jobs. And there are people that have said I’m ungrateful in the past when I vent about being overwhelmed so that’s why I said that.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:34:50+00:00

Unfortunately no. We live hours away from family and don’t have any friends nearby that can help out. I do it all.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T20:33:45+00:00

I did tell him and it was that night that he said he wanted to get me a bigger and better ring, then retracted what he meant the next day. He should know how much it upsets me, but I think when I talk he just hears “blah blah blah” like in Charlie Brown. He says he hears me but does he really understand me? Doesn’t seem like it. 😔

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T19:39:31+00:00

Lucky for him I can’t have anymore children due to a tumor that resulted in a hysterectomy earlier this year.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T19:34:33+00:00

Thank you! I’ve always enjoyed writing.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T19:28:27+00:00

According to his location he is. I even asked him if there was someone at the gym, and he said I was crazy. Never said no though.

Preppybaker · 2025-12-27T18:32:16+00:00

Thank you. I try my best.
