Women...
I just wanted to let you know that it isn't ok to expect flowers from us men at random when you don't unexpectedly give us anything except grief, verbal and mental punishment, and C block us for no apparent reason.
I know you expect men to be mind readers which we are but trying to read your mind is like trying to surf the web blind folded with snow mittens on.
On that note please share some of the cheesiest things your wife/gf/xgf/same sex partner has done for you that was sweet and also that was cheesy and dumb.
I will start. I was a huge comic fan growing up. My X years ago surprised me with a Spiderman T-Shirt at random. Then I think when she got home reality set in that I would be walking around with a T Shirt with a big web looking like one of the guys from "The Big Bang Theory." Not the best idea.
***for those of you that are sarcastically impaired, this is a disclaimer stating this post is 95% sarcasm!!!!***

Can I still reply even though I'm a chick? I was really tired one week after a very heavy workload had been dumped on my shoulders. I was being cluster****ed by my boss and my boss's boss and my co-workers and my professors at school and everything was spiraling out of control and I was in a very bad mood. Generally I love cooking for my baby and taking care of him, so I imagine he was pretty confused when I met his honest inquiry of, "What's for dinner?" with a lengthy rant about women's rights (which is not something I feel very passionate about, but I wanted to yell at him for something) and I called him all sorts of names (something about a chauvinistic pig...) and then stormed off into my room. (I'm really not proud of this, by the way).
When I finally emerged from my bedroom, much calmer and ready to crawl back on my hands and knees begging for forgiveness, I didn't get the chance. My man was standing there stirring macaroni on the stove and *wearing my apron*. He had a wig on his head and my reading glasses and one of my necklaces on. The table was set with candles and two diet cokes, and Dean Martin was singing, "On an Evening in Roma," in the background. He said to me, "Honey, I'm so sorry for-"
And then of course I cut him off with a barrage of kisses.

^^^ He is a keeper. My last X gf was a CPS-TFA(Chicago Public School Teacher in the Teach For America Program) which is about as fun as boot camp.
I remember her first month I would show up at her apt with dinner and beer at random, one night I told her we were going to the corner bar for 2 dollar burgers but instead made a 4 course meal for dinner and then about a 1 hr back rub(NC-17 of course.) She never could understand how I knew what she needed and when. I would do these random things to get her mind off of work or at least help her relieve some stress. I think after 3-4 times of doing that she started to take it for granted. I have now learned that it should be once in a while thing and not all the time.0 -
:laugh: AGREED!
I have a pretty awesome hubby. He doesn't do cheesy dumb, but always sweet thoughtful things. He will sometimes make my coffee for me even though he leaves the house before I get up.
He rubs my feet almost nightly just because (I never ask). I got him a card the other day just because. One time I bought a ton of sour twissler ropes and starburst and made a heart on the kitchen table with them. (that was cheesy dumb). 0 -

This year for valentines my wife bought me a huge chocolate dipped fortune cookie. (???) I was really getting into trying to eat better at this point and have never really cared for chocolate anyway. It sat at home for 3 days (and thrown in the garbage at one point, but was still in the box), so I decided to just take it into work. She didn't like this at all.
She "yells" at me now and again for not wearing the fancy watch / locket that she bought me. It's engraved inside and has a picture of us. It's also too big, a couple links need to be taken out, and something tells me it wouldn't go with the t-shirt and jeans I wear daily. The kicker is that I told her repeatedly previous to the watch purchase that I'm not wearing a watch anymore since I sit at the computer all day and a watch bugs me when I'm typing, so I just take it off anyway.
In general she likes to spend a lot of money on me for "holidays" (a couple times over $500) whereas I am a very frugal person. All I think of when I see the gift, and I've told her this, is how much it costs and how to budget accordingly.0 -
^^^ Sell her. Who needs a wife anyways? They are so overrated.0

I cook ALL my husband's food, so he should appreciate that and do something for me occasionally! Which he is very good at, really.
I buy him obscure 80s cartoons when they come out on DVD. Most of the time he doesn't appreciate it, though as he says they were better the way he remembered them, and seeing them again ruins them. He still hasn't watched Cities of Gold I got him for Christmas, when he had spent the entire 14 years we had been together talking about it and how he never saw the end. He STILL hasn't seen the end!
I don't expect flowers, though. I buy my own.0 -

"C block"??!!! WHO DOES THAT?!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
I have to say I was once guilty of expecting but not giving. I have since changed after reading this LOL
I don't expect things and I am a gift giver. Well was. I think I have been taken advantage of too much and people expect it.
I have been blessed with great gifts I must say. I cant think of anything... The only time i was a little thrown back was when my ex showed u with cheesecake and toppings in a Semi Pro (Jakie moon wig) I was like what the hell is this? It was weird but he had a sense of humor ill give him that.0 -

He gave them a photo album of our adventures over the last 9 mos ( I actually went into labour the next day). I was totally surprised he did that. It was really sweet.0
