That’s why I left.

What in the actual fuck? You can come stay with me for awhile, we’ll make lasagna and eat the leftovers for a week while we drink wine and entertain my cats.

Your husband is abusive. Give him his gift back, it’s ruined now anyway. You’ll never be able to see or use it without feeling bad. I’m speaking from experience.

My husband used to be exactly like this. I can absolutely imagine the complaints (only in my husband’s voice) “Wait — your gift for me is that you decided we are going to go hiking on some unspecified date in the future? There isn’t even a gift certificate or a hotel reservation — this is just an idea? I bought you a…

You are not a horrible person. Your husband is being overdramatic and histrionic. He also is being petty and vindictive.

I say this with all the love that this Internet stranger can: your husband is being an asshole.

Oh my god what an asshole. Red flags left and right. He sounds like an emotional terrorist.

That is extremely controlling and manipulative behavior. I’ve been through that before and this is really not okay.

Does he openly dislike hiking? That’s the only explanation for such behavior. As for you not putting effort/money into picking a gift- in fairness, you haven’t put a ton in yet, it seems, but you’ve committed to do so in the future regarding planning the whole trip and paying for the hotel, so he needs to respect…

This bullshit’s already controlling and cruel. He set her up to fail in a totally arbitrary game he threw at her with no warning.

He set you up to fail and then gaslighted you???

Whaaaat in the world? Is he not into hiking? Even so, his response is rude and hurtful. My husband used to be really bad at getting me gifts and I’d get upset because it felt like they weren’t personalized and made me feel like he didn’t know me at all. It wasn’t that the gifts weren’t good enough, it’s just that it…

As a husband who’d prefer my wife not spend time on gifts cause tolerating my ass is a full-time job already, I suggest going on the hike alone (or with close friend or family other than hubby) and give yourself some self-care. Explain to your husband that saying you don’t love him is hurtful, unproductive, and it’s…

“I got you a new gift, a divorce!”

Dude, that is not good. And this comes from someone who gets upset when my husband unilaterally decides to stop getting me presents for Valentine’s Day and my anniversary, as well as bailing on my 40th birthday party. I understand people can get upset when they see getting presents as an expression of love and a…

Do men get gifts on Valentine’s Day? Huh. At any rate, he sounds manipulative and immature as hell, so pushing him off a mountain during a hiking trip sounds like your best bet.

What the actual fuck. That is the absolute BEST kind of gift, especially when you’re strapped for time as it seems you are. The gift of experiences and time together away from your normal routine...aw, lady. I’ll go hiking with you. Let’s get a spa day and some wine when we’re done.

Ok, so I need to have a pity party about my Valentine’s Day. I didn’t know hubby and I were doing gifts until last Saturday. My gift was a weekend trip to do this really pretty hike I found in the White Mountains. Once we picked a date I would book the hotel and take care of all the details. (Did I mention I also work…

She couldn’t even bother to Google first. I thought it was well known that Lebron graduated from high school and went straight to the pros. Anyone who knows Lebron or has spoken to him has always said he’s a pretty savvy businessman and intelligent. I think a lot of people are pissed that he’s not some dummy or a…

Right? What does “This is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to attempt to join the NBA” even mean? Attempt? Did I hallucinate his 15-year-and-counting career, or did LeBron fucking James, 3 times NBA champion, do more than attempt to join the NBA?
