Gifts and giving

I once met a wife who complained to me that her husband never gave her gifts. She said she was a forgotten and neglected woman. I was surprised because I knew for a fact that her man was a very generous individual who often showered her with all kinds of gifts.
When I told her this, she remarked that she did not consider those things gifts because she has asked her husband to buy them for her.
Some women feel the same way about gìfts. Gifts from the husband or sweetheart are things given to them unasked. If a woman has to ask, then she does not feel she should call it a gift.
Do you feel the same way?

I think it's all about the language of love, her language is to surprise people with gifts and his kind of language is to do everything she asks for.
I sometimes do feel like her but then I remind myself that the other person is actually trying to show some love but in his own way.
Maybe you should tell him what you like him to do for you.

No, not at all. If she asked for things and wasn't allowed to have them then that would be different, depending on what the request was.

As for me, there are spontaneous gifts, wonderful gifts and knowing gifts. These are material things but at the end of the day, the gift of love is the most precious one.

Gift is the output of the act of giving or sharing. It cannot be called as such If it is not. Giving and sharing is a voluntary act.

If some one asked for something then promptly getting the same should consider as fortune. All people are different and every one has his/her own choices. Some may provide the things on asking and some others are particular on providing things without asking it.
