Knifeboy Report post Posted June 11, 2010 You were on CouesWhitetail.com! Sounds like a pretty freaking good excuse to me. LOL This might sound nuts to some of you; however, my wife and I have a deal that we don’t exchange gifts for any major event (anniversary, birthdays, mother’s day, father’s day, nothing). Like I said, some of you are gonna think we are nuts, but it works great for us, and it makes it nice when you forget what day it is. It is particularly nice because we don’t feel like we have to outdo ourselves every year. TJ, don’t get me wrong on this one; this works for my wife and I, but I wouldn’t suggest trying this on your wife right now. I don’t know very many people that think it’s a good idea. Good Luck! And congratulations on 33 years that says something special about both of you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here. Why would I get her something on mother's day? She ain't my mother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted June 12, 2010 Ya know, we're sandwiched right in here between Mother's Day, Father's Day, not sure when her Birthday is...but for whatever reason, this part of the year is flat-out crazy. I've got an anniversary in 3 days too. Not sure if it's 14 or 15...life gets in the way. Find a way to do something REALLY special for her...pampering, gifts, attention...then she'll hope you forget every year 'cause if you ask my wife, a little pampering is way better than any on-time gift.

tjhunt2 Report post Posted June 13, 2010 Well, I'm still alive! Thanks for all your comments. I let the wife read them and it really helped to ease the thought of killing me. I'll try some of your suggestions and pray to God this doesn't happen again. I'm not taking any bets. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we do try and have a special meal together or go camping or something to spend the time together. But it's more important to us to let each other know each day how special our relationship is....

That's exactly what Peg and I have done over the years but forgetting isn't allowed. I was working 12hrs during this time and trying to use that for an excuse. I will make up for it by taking her to the cwt outing next weekend and be her slave. Whatever she wants! TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
