Does anyone else have this problem?

=( Thats kinda sad. Do you drop hints to him about things that you want for Christmas? Have you told him how you feel about this at all? Maybe you shouldn't buy him anything this year and see how he feels on Christmas day when he has nothing to open. ;)

i feel exactly the same! and have you noticed they just won't take a hint? are they dense or what? but then again, for me, being together and for as long as we're both healthy, that's enough. i've probably been married longer than you and i've learned to be accepting of his faults. give yourself a little more time to get used to it.

I went thru that with my ex husband. He never went and bought me anything unless I was with him to pick it out. Even now I usually let the kids pick something out for him and I pay for it but he never lets them get me anything with his money. Men are different from us I guess.

Men sometimes are thoughtless. They need things pointed out to them. My husband used to do that when we first got together. My mom started giving him hints, asking him what he was giving, giving him some ideas. She only did this once or twice and now I get something on just about any holiday. He wasn't getting me anything, even on my birthday and now it is even sometimes without a holiday or birthday.

i think there are some men who think that gifts are not so important at all...i have the same problem with an ex once...i will always shower him with presents..but i will get nothing in return...it was as if i should be honoured having him by my side. well, needless to say, i got so fed up that i too, stopped giving him anything at all and buy more stuff for myself :D

My boyfriend insists on taking me shopping after Christmas but always buys me something to open too. We've been together three years aswell. :] I don't blame my bf for not wanting to pick me something himself, i know what i like so i think i would be a pretty intimidating person to buy for. Perhaps you should tell him you love surprises and reassure him that you will love whatever he gets you.

I thought I made it easy on my husband this year. It is our first Christmas married, and therefore sharing the checkbook. All I want is a new vacuum, because the one we have is horrible and has no suction. A wife who actually wants a vacuum! It couldn't be easier for him. But he's still hemming and hawing because he doesn't want to "waste" the money on something he doesn't think we need. Like he's the one vacuuming! Meanwhile, he wants an iPod. There's a big waste of money.

Maybe he isn't sure of what to buy for you. Try making a list and giving it to him or leaving on the counter for him to see. I've tried dropping hints, but somehow my husband doesn't hear me either, so now I let him know ahead of time what I would like. Have a nice Christmas

Have you told him you'd like a present? Do you know why he doesn't bother (is it because he doesn't like Christmas or because he's tight?) Make it clear to him that if he doesn't buy you a present, you'll give the mobey allocated for his present to charity. That'll motivate him!

Well why would you buy him presents if he hasnt bought you anything?

Well i kind of know how you feel. Granted i may get something but i have to tell dad what i want,where it is at and how much it costs. I will talk to George. Then again i wouldn't buy him anything,but your like i am and you have a heart.tell him how you feel and how much it hurts you. He'll say your always with him so how is he going to go out shopping for you? I think he should just take one of the nboys with him and go shopping. He knows what you like. So,i will tell him.

Wat i m tellin is my personal thought. I m not married to advise u in tis matter. But i'd tel u cant tel tat a person doesn love u only bcos they don buy u gifts or express it. It all depends on each person. Only bcos a person doesn love u the way u want to it doesn mean they r not lovin to the full xtent. But u ve not mentioned abt any other prob so i cant tel anything abt wat u can do. If u feel bad abt something in my response i m really sorry.
