aw hun, how thoughtful. Thats all it is really... a bit of thought.. just to show they care. And back to your thread hun, that is one of those things that gives u reason to live

thanks

my hubby never really does cards, I get the odd bday one....It doesn't bother me because he is romantic all through the year. He will quite often give me his card and tell me to spoil myself and buys me stuff when out shopping all the time. So that well makes up for the lack of cards I receive.

They do mean so much more! I keep them in a box and read them whenever I want that warm fuzzy feeling. You should really talk to him.

Im hoping our chat last night has made some sort of impact. He went from a flat 'not gonna buy a card to he 'will try'. I sorta know he wont even try tho, thats the bad thing.. His birthday is a day b4 mine. I said I aint gonna buy him one then and he said 'oh tit for tat'.. why should I though.. He keeps telling me what he wants me to buy him for his birthday. All I ask for is a card and I wont even get it. It makes me angry. I still have his valentines card sat here on my shelf unopened.. he didnt think it was that important to even see me on valentines day so I didnt bother giving him the card. Hr knows its here and hasnt even asked for it.. lol

He says I shouldnt take it personally cuz he just doesnt do cards but thats rubbish really cuz he did write xmas cards as I have said earlier. Men eh?! well, some men!! seems a few of you have lovely, considerate, sweet men heheh... xxx

My OH does do cards and always makes sure that my eldest either makes a card for me aswell or buys her one to write from her & Finn.

Lots of my friends OHs dont do cards and it drives them all mad so you are def not alone hunni

Well what do I need a card for when I am with him? Cards are for people who arent with you

SO we both don't do cards
