XOUT
My wife asked that, in lieu of buying her an expensive gift, that I give one of her boys a big chunk of cash for college. I still want to get her something. I am taking her on a trip, but want to get her something she can hold in her hands, but is not terribly expensive.
She is pretty, looks much younger than 50, slender, athletic and very feminine. She also will not tell me what she wants for a gift, or implies that she doesn't want anything, which I assume is not true.
Why do women not want to tell you what they want for a gift? My first wife was the same way. I wouldn't hesitate if somebody asked me that question! Why do I have to figure it out?????? Help!!!!!!!
The college money was already delivered. Keep the nice suggestions coming, I really need help with this one, it is a serious question. The losers who made the vulgar comments would be best to keep their opinions to themselves.

One of the best gifts I ever got didn't cost my husband a dime. For some reason, turning 20 really was freaking me out (not much longer till I'm 30, and I'm looking forward to it).
I woke up on my 20th birthday to a pink carnation (my fave flower) on the pillow next to me. When I finally dragged my butt out of bed, pleased with the flower, but still feeling pretty bad because of turning 20, he sat me down on the couch, kneeled down next to me and held my hands. He told me how beautiful and amazing I was, and how he was so happy to have married me. He told me how he was looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together. How he appreciated me, cherished me and valued me.
Of course, I broke down into tears at this point! I was in my bathrobe with my hair uncombed and he still thought I was the most beautiful woman in the world.
We spent the rest of the day curled up together watching movies, or in the hottub splashing and laughing. I've never had a better day and it didn't cost a thing.

just wondering...my best friend and her boyfriend have been going out for like idk how long i guess 7 months and she keeps saying how her boyfriend didnt get her a birthday gift. she keeps askin me what she should do (like should she break up w/ him or whatever) and i have like no idea what to tell her. any advice? from what i can see her boyfriend seems to be a good boyfriend...i never really thought he was rude or anything he seems nice...
i'm prety sure she told him when her birthday would be...and he apologized but he didnt get her a gift even after he apologized
Answer
Well, if he KNEW it was her birthday, he should've, at least, acknowledged it...with a "happy birthday", a card, a gift,...
If he's too young to drive then he's relying on his parents to drive (and possibly pay) for a card and gift. Maybe he didn't ask, maybe he couldn't, maybe he did and they wouldn't take him).
More than likely (as long as you know that he DID know about her b'day)---he is just clueless. Alot of them are. They have to be trained to behave the way you want them to...if they don't know any better, they have to be taught.
Why don't you talk to him and find out if he knew it was her b'day. If he didn't, now he will, and he can still make it up to her (and do better in the future, but she may need to be more open about what she wants and expects from him). If he DID know, then you can let him know how his gf is feeling about it all and HOPEFULLY he does try to make it up to her anyway.
If he just doesn't care either way then...he's probably not worth keeping around...that's up to her though, of course.
