Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who is a terrible Gift-giver?

One woman’s Husband recently gave her a wonderful Mother’s Day and had to ask her that she does something similar for this year’s upcoming Father’s Day after she failed to do anything special for him last year.

She’s 36 years old, and her husband is 38. They’ve been married for 10 years and have three kids together. Her husband is notorious for being lousy at giving gifts and putting together holiday celebrations, so in the past, she’s had to coach him on how to put those things together. 

However, this past Mother’s Day, he did a great job planning the day on his own.

He had their kids make her cards, served her breakfast in bed, booked her a mani-pedi, and gifted her some wine, cheese, and chocolates.

“Last night, after the kids went to bed, I thanked him for a great day and expressed how surprised I was that he actually stepped up,” she recalled.

“He told me I deserve it, but also said that he hopes that I can do something similar for him for Father’s Day this year.”

When she asked her husband what he meant by that, he asked if she remembered what she did for him last Father’s Day. But, unfortunately, she couldn’t remember. That’s when he reminded her that she didn’t do anything special last year.

She felt that wasn’t fair of him to say because, during Father’s Day weekend last year, they were at her younger sister’s wedding, which was child-free and out of state. So, her husband stayed home with the kids while she was busy being the maid of honor.

“I had every intention of still doing something for him for Father’s Day, but I must have completely forgotten, and he never brought it up to me,” she explained.

“So I felt a little blindsided and put on the spot when he asked me to remember what I did.”

She apologized to him about last year and said she realized it was her fault for not getting the chance to do something special for him. She also told him she didn’t appreciate how he implied that she did nothing for him last year on purpose.

Her husband told her he had never brought it up until now because he knew she’d get defensive about it. Then, he reminded her that she “forgot” to get him something for his birthday last year.

She told him that the gift she ordered for him on Amazon was delivered late, but when he checked their Amazon order history, he saw that she purchased the gift on the day of his birthday.

“I told him he was being a jerk and ruining what was, up until then, a perfectly good Mother’s Day,” she said.

“He said he’s not trying to be a jerk; he’s just letting me know that he needs to feel that there is some reciprocation for these kinds of things.”

After their argument, she’s starting to think that her husband only gave her a perfect Mother’s Day so he could make her feel worse about not doing anything for Father’s Day last year.

Should she feel bad about last year’s Father’s Day, or is her husband being unfair for bringing it up?
