LOL...that’s funny! I bought one article of clothing for my wife in the 13 years (married 9) we’ve been together.

It was in the first or second year of our relationship and I got her jacket for her birthday. I though she would look good in it, and she did...but it was a shot in the dark for me size-wise, etc.

But she wore it only once or twice, so she felt otherwise.

Never again.

Yep...I am in the clothing business and I NEVER EVER buy clothing for my wife. One exception...last year near Christmas she put an overcoat in my hands and said “buy this for me for Christmas.”

Apparently yall are less manly than me....because I have no idea why that’s funny or is supposed to be.

When I first started going with my future wife, I would occasionally buy her things I thought she'd like. How wrong I was. She would look at the thing I bought for her and then look at me like I just bought her a lump of coal.

However, the same woman does not like cash for a gift. "Why can't you buy me something?" she would wail. No gift cards either. So she must explicitly write down what she wants, and then I can go and get it for her.

Hubby and I have been married 33 yrs and towards the beginning of our marriage he decided he was going to buy me a pair of boots for Christmas. I never wore them. Not once. He finally said....are you ever going to wear those boots? Nope, they don’t fit. He didn’t understand that since they were my size. He switched to buying me jewelry real fast. Lol
