Anniversary. Today is our 5th and I just received flowers?

I'm a bit annoyed because we don't have money for extras like that. And I feel bad for feeling this way. We have company coming in next week and this money could have been used for that. Am I wrong to be a bit upset? I think it is very thoughtful of him, but at the same time, its the money thing and the arrangement was obviously expensive.

It's ok to feel this way, but now is not the time to bring it up. Later on, you can mention that you would rather not get flowers - there's nothing wrong with this. I personally don't care about flowers - they just make a mess; my husband knows how I feel, and has no problem finding other (less cliché) ways of expressing his affection. I told my husband pretty early on - if you ever get a funny desire to buy flowers, just look up how much they cost, count out the cash, and put it on my desk; then I will know that the sentiment was there, and it's the thought that counts.
Reply:Yup, I get it. :) Had the same issue with my ex; I was working 7 days/week, sometimes we'd have barely enough to pay the bills - and he insisted on bringing me flowers, when I didn't even like flowers. We had a few arguments over it. But if it's only once in 5 years - it's not so bad. Just enjoy it. Report It
Reply:getting mad at him for him being nice to you is being a *****. lots of women don't get that at all, and would love that so stop complaining about it and be happy. GOD
Reply:He wanted you to know how important you are to him. Get over the money deal. He wanted to do a good thing for you to show his love.
Reply:take the gift and dont be angry he felt it was important its not like he went out and got you diamonds thank him and do something nice for him
Reply:Come on it is your anniversary and he wanted to show he loves you. What women does not want flowers sent to them for there anniversary. I understand getting mad about the money issue but enjoy the flowers and deal with that later. Would you of wished he did not thing at all? Be grateful for what you have.
Reply:He could have been setting money aside for the flowers over the last several weeks or so. Don't get angry and call him out on it. Just appreciate the gift and let him know how much you appreciated it and love him.
Reply:Remember... it's the thought that counts on a gift. Your husband's heart was in the right place... thats all that counts. Cover him with kisses and let it go.... gifts from the heart sometimes have no logic attached. Thats why they are so special.
Reply:sometimes it's hard to be a women
Reply:It's only money and you're more important to him. This is much better than him forgetting.



Besides, you don't know how much he paid for this or if he's been putting some money aside for the flowers.



Cheer up and enjoy your anniversary.
Reply:Let him spoil you a bit -- enjoy your anniversary!
Reply:Count yourself as blessed., and let him know you're grateful. Then in the fullness of time, let him know that you love him even without expensive presents, and even more when it's spent on other things you care about.



If you jump on him for his actions he'll quickly learn to dread ALL special occasions. :-)



You don't know but that he might have got a special deal from a friend at work or something like that. It takes away most of the fun for him if you start asking. Wait until he really screws up to be critical!
Reply:He could have borrowed the money. He remembered, you got something and not just a card. Be grateful. I got flowers I was allergic to once. I never let on because I didn't him to feel like his effort was all for nothing. What did you get him?
Reply:I'd bet you are the type to ****** if you DIDN'T get anything on your anniversary
Reply:Did you both agree previously not to buy each other anything for your anniversary?

If not, then be happy he is a thoughtful man.

The only time I have EVER gotten flowers is from a customer of mine on my birthday who wanted to impress the 20 year old I worked with so he could get into her pants.

Relax and enjoy them!
Reply:No sense worrying about something you can't change. I'd thank him for the gesture, but also remind him that if things are tight, next time you should talk together about any purchases he or you may be contemplating.



Happy anniversary!
Reply:Don't make a big issue of it. He loves you. Maybe he got them cheap. Also, since he did it just cut back on something else. That way you'll be even. Think about it.
