He called me ungrateful 😬

My birthday’s coming up, and my husband loves surprising me which I appreciate! But for the past few years, he’s been giving me stuff I don’t want, like board games and figurines. We already have too many, and I even told him that before.

Last year, he still got me a figurine. I thanked him but said I’d prefer something different next time. This year, he asked what I thought about a specific board game… and I said honestly, I don’t want any more.

Now he’s mad, saying I’m ungrateful and impossible to shop for, and that I should just make a “grocery list” of what I want. I wasn’t trying to be rude I just wanted to avoid him wasting money on something I wouldn’t use.

Would you say I was wrong for being honest? Or is it okay to tell your partner what you don’t want?

I made it clear to my husband what I wanted for xmas and birthdays. Jewelry, date night and cash gift cards. As for him gift cards from Home Depot or Dicks Sporting store.

Give him a list of possible gifts you’d like to get. Then if he doesn’t get any from the list, sit him down and have a serious talk. Do you buy him what he wants?
