It's a Trap!

Guys...

A friendly tip from your ol' buddy Jay: When your wife swears up and down that she doesn't want anything for her birthday, don't believe her. It's a trap.

Even if you do surprise her with flowers at work, it's not enough. When she says "we've spent so much money recently, let's just pass on each others' birthdays", what she really means is "I'm not getting you anything, but you had damn well better get me something".

That is all...

It's funny you write this, because I just got this from my girlfriend for our one year anniversary. She just said to put the money in the bank while we save for a house.

I just ordered matching cape cod necklace and earings.

I'm hoping for gentleman jack, but will settle for a sixer of Bud.

Yup. That's one of the Big Three traps in husband-wife relationships that we men must avoid at all costs.

The other two being, "Does my butt look big in this?" and "Honestly, do you think she's pretty?"

Just eat your Twix and mumble something incoherent.

As someone who has been married for 33 years, I can testify that Ambulance Driver has it correct.

Absolutely, when she say, "We've spent so much money recently" she really means, "You've spent too much money lately, and now it's time to spend an equal or greater amount on Me!" :-)

Yeah, sometimes I think that I exist for no reason other than to serve as a warning to others... ;)

This is just like the airport syndrome. When you wife / fiance' / girlfriend is returning to town and has you meet her at the airport, you are oft instructed to be outside of the terminal at such-and-such a time. This is really code-speak for park the car and meet me as soon as I pass through the security gate.
