Yesterday was my birthday and my husband had asked me what I had wanted for my birthday about a month ago. So I gave him a list of things that I would like
-Money on my Starbucks card
-$25.00 gift credit card so I could buy a pattern online that I want.
-pick one bill and pay it off (just a small one)
-a couple balls of yarn
-a nice flower garden beside our townhouse that I could plant raspberries or blueberries in
-Season 2 of Grimm
-some cheep books to read (the get rid of variety at the book store about $20-$25 worth)
I knew that we didn't have money to do anything expensive and it didn't matter to me if he just had picked one of the $20-$25 options.
He has been talking a lot about hydroponics (something he seemed really interested in)and I have just been listening to him. I had already told him in the past that I really had no interest in hydroponics at all so I didn't think much of it at all just thought he was talking (his sand castles in the sky and such).
So yesterday for my birthday he gave me this plastic hydroponics thing and I actually just opened it looked at it and I actually cried. It seemed like he had given me something that actually was for him. To me it was worse then when he pretty much ignored my birthdays.
He then proceeded to take $20 out of his wallet and threw it at me saying that he was planning on putting it on my Starbucks card it seems like an afterthought. Its still sitting on the table with the hydroponics thing I don't want it anymore :(.
Now I feel just awful because he was telling me that he had spent all this time researching hydroponics and that I'm ungrateful. I have expressed disinterest in hydroponics when he came up with the idea that you could make money growing stuff that way. It just seemed like a lot of money and mess to me that I would have to deal with; because he would look after it for a week or two while it was shiny and new that I would be stuck with it.
He acted like I was horrible for not liking his gift and now I just feel like a horrible awful person because I didn't like his gift. Why would he ask me for a list of things that I would like for my birthday if he wasn't going to use it.
