mel b3 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Your Christmas present to your wife this year ,could be , understanding. Most folks wouldn't give a rats ***** who bought and wrapped the presents and wrote the card ,BUT,( and that was a big but !), to other folks ,the fact that someone cares enough about them to put the effort in , means everything. Go and buy your wife a small present today and wrap it yourself( it doesn't matter that you've wrapped it like a bag of chips) , then tell her that you'll be more mindful in the future.

Retsdon Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I can think of a couple of possible reasons why your wife might get upset over who wraps her present, but neither have anything much to do with Chrismas itself. My guess would be that your Christmas woes are surface symptoms of some deeper issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In public and with her friends or company she is all sweetness but behind closed doors.... Ah, it was just you referring to your daughter as ‘my’ daughter rather than ‘our’ daughter. I don’t think Christmas is the issue here, look deeper. You could start by asking her. My ex wasn’t much of a talker; and talking is important.

Dougy Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 She's probably having an affair, and her better half spent 2 days wrapping up her very expensive, sorry, "very very expensive present". Really what on earth is all this fuss bout, take her a walk round your local town at night and show her the homeless people on the streets, or better still the local hospital children's ward and see the little kids in there, staying in over Christmas terminally ill.

Lord Geordie Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Tell her of course you care! The reason you didn’t wrap any of her presents or sort her card means she now has less time opening them, leaving her more time to spend in the kitchen cooking the lunch!

I wouldn't take this advice as it might encourage more sulking in the future just to get an extra present. I'd substitute "small present" with "hairy part of your hand."
