Men Just Don't Get It

What's so hard about knowing what a woman wants? Really. We're actually pretty simple. We want affection, understanding, sympathy. We want to be held and left alone. We want to be able to cry without a man constantly asking 'what's wrong?' or 'what did I do?'
For Christmas we want more than a flashlight. For our anniversary, we want more than, well....nothing. For Valentine's Day, we want more than a coffee mug. Okay, I'll give it to him. It was a very nice coffee mug. It's hand crafted and made with Oklahoma clay, and painted with non-lead based paint. Nice right? Why can't I get flowers??? I know that they die, but they're pretty while they last. Why can't I get chocolate? I know I'm on a "diet" and that I would sit and eat the whole box, but it still tastes good. Why can't I get a spa gift certificate? I haven't been to the spa in a few years. It would feel really great to get a massage and a facial. Better yet, why can't I get that engagement ring that I've been waiting on for two years????
I get a coffee mug. For Valentines Day. It's not even pink. Or red. It's green. What exactly is a coffee mug supposed to symbolize? I really don't think Matt has a clue.
So, while he's sitting here watching one of the THREE James Bond movies I got for him for V-Day, I'm sitting on the opposite couch typing what an insensitive ASS I think he's being. The thing is, I think he really means well. He just doesn't get it.

  1. I'm pretty 100% sure that I'm not getting anything. And it's my fault. Why? Because I didn't tell him what I want. At least that's the excuse I got for my birthday last year...I'll keep you posted.

    And, I'm sorry Matt's being an ass. Must be a penis thing.

  2. Voice it Ash... you will never get anywhere or fix anything if you don't voice it. If he gets defensive then think of him as an ass... You can't really change a man.. but you may be able to mold him slightly. =]
