I wonder if this will work out like that beautiful famous story?
He sells his watch to buy a comb for her beautiful long hair. She sells her hair to buy a lovely watch chain for his beloved pocket watch. The gifts mean nothing and everything. It's just the love shared. Hug and make up and get back to the basics. I think the story ends in the bestest lovemaking of all! and thats a great gift!
nicely put Pandora
agree with this, it's not a big deal
how you handled it was what a lot of people would do, just your normal reaction to what happened. i'd be annoyed too, but it's important that you don't get too caught up in the whole gifts thing and relax.
he knows that you got him it, will appreciate that i'm sure. if you don't have time to get him something else then I'm sure he'll understand.
someone said that you can get him something to go with it? that sounds like a good idea

Thanks Pandora and electricxlovex... I needed that. (I was hoping for a cyberhug and advice for Pandora!)
He's going to keep the one I got him. I think the other one will be returned if it can be (he already opened it) or will be given to a nephew we're very close to.
This was the biggest gift I've ever gotten him. I think that's why I was so disappointed. I was so sure he'd love it, and I wanted to see his face that morning.
you know it to be true. how many threads have we seen that said i can't access the forum on my iphone vs. how many saying i can't access the forum on my android phone.
Should have got him slippers and a dildo...that way if he didn't like the slippers he could go :shock: .
Hey, what are the odds that he'd buy one, you made the effort and in the end he'll appreciate that. Plus you can get even and throw snowballs at him Friday night while he rides around town on the firetruck (assuming we get any snow, if not chuck tennis balls at him and his red suit). Merry Christmas.
IMO I have to agree with you.. that's pretty jacked to spend so much on a gift for yourself, this close to Christmas. Sounds kinda selfish to me, but you know your man best. I'd say tell him HE can deal with the madness of returning it, since he wanted to be so selfish. ( my attitude is probably why I'm still single btw, so maybe ignore me?)
Be very very very specific in that you expect him to keep the ipad on his person at all times...even in the event of an emergency....'just in case' you need to reach him...and I would have reacted the same way as you did. I have a somewhat similar story.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Yes!
I say Keep the ipad you got him and still give it to him as a gift. He can return the one he bought.

I thought of this too, while reading Unlost's story.
Is Mr. Unlost possibly fucking with you Unlost? Has he actually started playing with it in front of you?
My sister just told me that a friend of hers who is pregnant got her husband stuff from his favourite soccer-club (read: religion) including a onesie for the baby - she had to become a member of their fanclub to even be able to buy it. What does he do? He comes home with exactly the things she bought him except the onesie and when she thanks him for ruining the surprise, he says she should take it all back and get the onesie for the baby instead. That was the moment her hormones took over and she did exactly as Unlost
We have a rule in our family - the only things bought in December are food and other necessities, and we're not even big on Christmas...

I tell my wife to refrain from shopping for herself in December. I bought her a heavy jacket, a ltd edition Paul Weller CD, the Ames Bros book, a few Kaiser Chiefs (the band, not the team) shirts, and a same-day return trip to Las Vegas (which she won't find out about until we are at the airport!

Wow, Jeanwah, that is such a marvelously tempting line, but I will refrain... must refrain... must refrain...
No, he's not. He wouldn't do that, he's really quite sincere. Just short-sighted.
At the end of the day he'll end up keeping the one I bought him, I'm quite certain. I'm not getting him anything else.

i was trying to log on via an imac, but i kept getting a error message saying Steve Jobs does not like PJ. :x
just take solace in the fact you indeed did got him the perfect gift for him this year ... in fact, he wanted it so much, he bought it for himself ...
the rest i'll keep to myself ...
