This is Why I’m Having An Affair…

Tomorrow is my birthday, and every year throughout the year I show my husband in stores things I would like. He offers to buy them then, but I just show him ideas.

One item, in particular, I have been wanting for 8 years. I show it to him every year when it’s on sale as it’s like $300. He never remembers come Christmas or my birthday. I make lists with the item, colour, price and stores you can find it at.

This year was the same, Sunday night he asks me what I want, I tell him a certain $50 Bluetooth speaker you can get at most places (lazada, shopee)… I tell him the price and model. He says nothing and goes to sleep.

He was off yesterday and today, he stayed home while I wfh and slept all day. Today his mother called and asked what I wanted, he said he knew of one item but nothing else and that im so hard to buy for. She asked was he going to get the item and he said he’d try.

Again, he double checks the name brand and model and says ok.

Later on today he tells me that he wants me to go to the store with him after my shift ends to go “pick something out” because I’m so hard to buy for and maybe we’ll find something.

I feel so hurt. I asked for one item and even before that he never paid attention.

Tomorrow AP remembered an item I had been wanting for awhile and went out and spent $200 on it a week ago and made sure it came in on time.

Point being, it feels like a direct reflection on how they care about me.
