I remember in the first years of our marriage, my husband and I agreed not to get each other Christmas presents. Imagine my shock and sorrow when we woke up Christmas morning and he had presents under the tree from me...but not a single gift from him to me. I was crushed. It was one of our most memorable fights.

What did he do wrong? The two of you agreed no presents. If you wanted presents you shouldn't have put him in a situation like that.

Men need clear, straightforward directions. Sit. Stay. Roll over. Buy me a present.

Men take what you say literally.

But honestly, I would have done the same thing and thought it was what you wanted.

Sounds like male thinking and female thinking don't mix, either.

If you told me no gifts...I'd have thought: Okay, NO gifts..that's called an agreement.
If I had been your husband, I would have been really pissed off...You embarassed HIM!!!!
