[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 110595, member: 2211"] HWGA, thanks for sharing your story with me. I have had some impact on H, but the roots of his family dysfunction run very deep. It's all about maintaining that cool, unperturbed exterior...I think his mom is English, so maybe that is part of it! No offense against the Brits, but they ones I know seem to have a very reserved exterior. Whatever. Star, we did talk about it. He doesn't understand why this upset me. He says that I am the one who is being weird about it. I explained to him that he should have at least been excited and then maybe a day or so later suggest that he'd like to exchange it for something else rather than ruin Christmas morning. He just stared at me like I had 4 heads. I am just going to get him a gift card from now on. And some little things I know he needs or something. On each gift giving occasion, I become less and less excited about giving him a gift. He's ruined it for me. HWGA, I wish that I was able to turn him around like your wife has - God knows I tried. Tonight we're celebrating our Christmas when the girls come home and I'm sure it will all be okay. He can go return the stupid shuffle. I was thinking I would do it for him and then just give him the cash. hahaha. [/QUOTE]
