Ok so me(49m) and wife (47f) have been together 25 years so birthday and Xmas present times can be a struggle...my wife is sooooooo bad at not giving me any ideas for presents until like 10 days out....this causes me much stress as often the things she wants (usually expensive or hard to find) can be bought online from overseas but take like a month to get here. Which forces took me to go and buy an inferior product at a greatly increased price just to make her present deadline. It drives me nuts like absolutely nuts if she just tell me a bit earlier I could have such good things to give her. I'm 10 days out from her birthday and she wants a friggin screen projector. I can get some really good ones online or some shitty ones locally. Am I the ah for being grumpy that she doesn't give me more time to buy her something?
