Asafan Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 I was listening to the radio on my way work this morning and one of the hosts had a delema. His wife's 40th birthday is coming up and he said, "She went out of her way to say she didn't want anything". The co-hosts both agreed that it was a set up and that of course she wanted something for her birthday. The host seemed to feel he should teach her a lesson and actually NOT get her anything. He felt she was playing head games and treating him like a child. She should just say she wanted something and not be coy. Most of the callers, like myself agreed that it was a set up and he should just do something to make her feel special and not be a jerk about it. What do you think?

I hate when people say they don't want anything for their birthday. And then expect to get something. I mean, GROW UP. I'd be tempted to do the same thing...just not get her anything. But I don't recommend it. It's a hurtful way to make your feelings known. My suggestion would to tell the guy to sit her down and let her know you ENJOY buying her gifts for her birthday and nothing would make you happier than KNOWING what it is she'd like. That way, maybe she'll feel dumb for saying 'oh nothing'
