@Alexandria if you have to ask for the flowers then what is the point? Then you might as well buy them yourself! I didn’t even expect that, I only wanted him to say Happy Mother’s Day. It shouldn’t be that hard… 😓😓
I took myself out to an expensive meal. I almost bought myself flowers but I didn’t…thought I might drop a hint to my husband when I got home but in the end I chicken-ed out. Tomorrow I will buy some for myself and take a photo for my baby book. Next year I will make it really explicit but sadly this year I blame myself for not asking him to get the flowers.
@Missy awww so it sounds like maybe both of you should leave the surprise element out and when either Mother’s Day or Father’s Day is on the horizon, you can agree to book or arrange something to do to mark the day x
I was almost the same but we spoke/joked last night, and I said it takes almost zero effort to buy a card and a bunch of flowers or a book or a mug, to make me feel a little special 🤣 Today we went to Tesco and I said to him that I was going my separate way and I’d meet him after the tills. He caught it and came back with a box of chocolates, a book and a pop up card. Sometimes men need so much prompting to do things like this 🤦🏻♀️ You have not done anything wrong but in the future I’d make it 2000% clear that you are expecting him to congratulate you and give you something - after all, you are the mother of his child! Even if he/she isn’t out of the womb yet, you are working to grow that baby! So he should be thankful for you too! xx
I buy myself flowers all the time! 😂 but then I like them in the house. Doesn’t have to be a big bouquet, just a spray of tulips 🌷 or daffodils are like £1 and look so cheerful! I’m very lucky my partner buys me flowers because he knows I love them… maybe just have that conversation and make it clear that flowers and a card are important to you xx
