This month has been really good for us finacially. However last month I didnt get anything for my birthday because it was in the middle of the month. It has actually been years since I've gotten any kind of gifts, I dont like for my husband to get me flowers because they eventually die. So my husband thought he would surprise and he got me a game card for the games on facebook. Since I don't get out of the house much because of my medical problems when my work is done I like to play these games at nite as a way for me to relax. It was only a $5 game card he had gotten but I still feel guilty that any money was spent was on me. All of our bills are paid and everyone's needs are meet but I still feel gulity that $5 was spent on me for a gift. Don't get me wrong I appericate the thought and I did accept but part of me still feels gulity.

For me the best gift ever to have are flowers. I feel so special and precious if i am given one. The smell is enough to melt a woman.

You must not feel guilty about it. Just receive it with no doubts and hesitance in your heart. Your husband must love you that much. Some husband is ignoring their wives birthday and some husband really been forgotten the birthday of their wives. You are lucky enough.

I do not like to receive gift either - offset some of the guilt by returning the sentiment... Only if you can afford to

Ohh too bad, don't feel guilty about it, for it is a gift from your husband. If you feel guilty about it, you are just telling yourself that your husband misused the money to a none sense gift for you. Could you not feel guilty if this a pot or a teflon pan, so that every body will be using it instead of just only you. I see that this the point of guilt...You are the one enjoying the gift and not your kids and your husband. but it yours.. and it is your birthday. Happy Birthday... this is my gift to you and don't feel guilty because I did not spend any money on it. okay?

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i can understand your thoughts and i think there is no point in feeling guilty about this small thing. On one hand u are claiming that u were feeling bad for not being gifted on your birthday and on the other hand when u are being gifted by your husband u are talking about the money being spent. Either ways u are putting pressure on yourself. It is quite normal that when u are gifting someone then u have to spend something and that is what your husband did as a gesture of love and affection.
What say?
