My husband is a very rich man. We have been married for 5 years. Every year when I celebrate my birthday he will buy me expensive gifts for example in our first year he bought me a brand new car. One year he bought me a very expensive designer handbag, other gifts included a trip to Dubai etc. Even last year he gave me an expensive wrist watch. Me too or all of his birthdays, I have tried to go "all out", even when I don't have the finances. I usually make a nice breakfast, give him a card and love letter, take him out to dinner, and usually a pretty nice gift if finances allow. My birthday was last week and I was dissapointed with what he gave me. I am even sure he forgot all about it because the day before my mother called him and greeted him in Yoruba 'Eku Ipalemo' which is probably why he remembered. I saw his face when she brought my birthday up, it was like "oh shit". So the next morning when we woke up he wished me a happy birthday. He then brought out a card that had a short message in it and a bag with 6 years of Ankara material. Now I don't want to sound petty... But usually he gets me a pretty nice gifts, so I was kind of surprised by seeing just a card and Ankara. I guess I'm just kind of disappointed with the amount of effort he put into my birthday. I have not said anything to him but I am really dissapointed. I know he has the money or am I being unreasonable?
