Early in my marraige I discovered that the :
"Let's not buy expensive gifts for each other and save for later" rule really meant :
"I am not getting you much, but you better get me sometning nice or I will be sooo sad and disappointed, but if you do get me something nice, you will be rewarded in other ways"
It works for me. :wink:

Sure are.
My husband has done a "few" things like that. Once he took me out for supper and when we left there was a new Mazda RX7 sitting in the parking lot

No, Mazda, took lousy pix but was fun as heck lol
You are a lucky man, but my guess she is a lucky girl too. So look her in the eye and speak from your heart about your feelings toward her...We women are an emotional bunch. Then surprise her with a road trip, festival...maybe a romantic dinner you cooked? Congratulations!!!

First say thank you [maybe let her get lucky)😉 I know mine Always expects sex after gifts the fact that both of you were on the porch at that time of the day speaks volumes. Congratulations If all else fails start planning the 25th NOW
Remember that Clairol commercial that women didn't like? "My wife. I think I'll keep her."

2. Once the wife knows you understand the rules, she is free to
change them unannounced at any time.
3. You are not allowed to question any change of the rules.
4. Once you learn the new rules, the wife can change them again any time, or return to the previous rules.
5. You may not question any change of the rules.
6. It is your duty to know the rules at all times.
7. The wife may make suggestions as to how best to obey the
rules.
8.All suggestions constitute a new rule.
9 Disobedience pf any rule maybe disciplined by the wife at any
time.
10. You may not question the application of the rules ever.
Any questions? :idea: :shock:

Mine yelled at me in 2004 and gave my first decent DSLR...
Same type of deal: No gift but she *&*&^ turns around and gets me something.
I have stopped listening to her since... well... 31 years.
Crazy b***es. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Best bet is just do what you think is right ans damn their 'torpedoes'.
Get used to it! From experience, the next 22 years won't be much different; those deals are always one sided, and can get/are broken by both sides for better or worse.
