To give some background on the situation, my husband and I got married in August. He didn't get me a wedding gift (usually each person gets the other something), when I got him a pen from Tiffany. He also didn't get me a birthday gift, or Christmas gift worthwile. He got me some random, junky stuff like a foot massager, but nothing "special". Before we got married, he would buy me Tiffany jewelry for every birthday, Christmas, etc... He buys himself gifts all the time, mostly electronic stuff and video games. He probably spends $10,000 per year on junk for the TV, himself, sports, video games, etc. Whenever I want something, he always b*tches about how "expensive" it is, when it's really not that bad considering what HE spends on himself. Whenever I send him an email of what I want, he ignores it.How can I talk him in to buying me something I really want for once?This is what I want: http://usa.hermes.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=10202&catalogId=10052&langId=-1&categoryId=10980&leftCategoryId=10980&topCategoryId=10980&parentCategoryId=10980&nbItem=0

He should have got you something. Perhaps he is still recovering from paying the wedding costs since it was only back in August?

I get why he may think it expensive..But im on your side cause if hes always buying stuff for himself he should think about you too? Not getting you a birthday present is not nice really..And i think you should saay something about it, but nothing to deffensive..You dont want any arguments!! But if hes buying loads of prezzies for himself..Buy loads for yourself aswell!! Go for it!! X

It sounds like money issues, his spending habits, and his selfishness may drive you apart and possibly toward divorce.You need to sit down with him and have a serious talk about budgeting and both of your expectations of the relationship.

While I think your fella is being a bit of a tool, I have to admit that unless he is absolutely loaded, nearly $1000 for a pop up handbag is a bit steep.Don't you think you may be being a little over materialistic?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read what you wrote. Do youknow how spoiled and selfish you come across as sounding? There is nothing wrong with wanting stuff for yourself (even stuff like Heremes handbags) but you have to realistically think about how practical it is and if you really earned it. It is nice to be a wife and have the hubby pay all the bills and spoil you but you also have to work to earn it to. Being a wife isn't a free ride and neither is being a hubby. You are doing a lot of complaining about what he is not doing but what about what you are not doing? I can't sit here reading this and honestly think that you are in the right on everything. Surely he must have a list of annoyances with you too! When hubby goes to work for all your bread and butter (which is NO PICNIC for the man) what are you doing for him at home each day? Are you making him some comforting food, do you greet him at the door with a kiss, and make him feel like all the stres he has handled in the workplace to earn the money for you all was completely worth it? A man who is satisfied with his wife truly loves to shower her with love, affection and surprises. Another thing is that maybe the kinds of things you ask for are both expensive and impractical. From the way you speak about Tiffany liberally and how much your hubby can spend on himself I doubt that money is the issue. If you'd have asked your hubby for a kitchenaid mixer or somethign he have probably rushed to the store to get the exact make and model and every accessory you could ever wish to have because he would be looking forward to all those fantastic things you'd do with it and how awesome you'd make him look in front of his buddies when you serve them something nice and homemade.Men are proud creatures and they want women who will adore them and make them look great in front of others. The more you do that the more you get. You want something you gotta work for it in some way or other. You can't expect freebies in life because true freebies are rare to be found.Another thing is that I am guessing you are the type of gal who probably already has twenty handbags and forty pairs of shoes in the closet. Do you really NEED the handbag? Instead of nagging your dear hubby for all the things you want try to ask him what you can do to make him happier and I am pretty sure that if you do this he will tell you and if you take his advice and do the things that will knock his socks off he will be a whole lot more willing to feed you with the golden spoon filled with tiffany jewlry and hermes handbags.
