Noo, that's not what that means. And no, she wouldn't have, she didn't like me, didn't like anybody. The feeling was mutual, but had to participate in the gift exchange.

Augh!! Why don't people get it? I used to work at a hotel front desk, and the people who came to check in or out would be wearing so much perfume or cologne that I would sneeze and cough. It was shocking how many people smelled heavily of alcohol in the mornings, also.
Bunzilla 3 years ago
They think that since they can barely smell their perfume / cologne, it's the same for everyone else. But the fact is that their noses have just gone 'nose blind', aka, gotten 'olfactory fatigue / olfactory adaptation'. So they drench themselves in the stuff just so that they can smell it. Then everyone else around them has to suffer.

It's poor wording, but like any relationship, it takes work and continuous effort. If the book is on keeping up with the needs of a marriage it is a good thing with a bad name

Veronica Sjöberg 3 years ago
I actually don't think it's that bad depending on what the book is about. If it's about how to handle your divorce then yes, it's bad, but if it's about making sure you keep working on your marriage I would say it's a good thing. It doesn't matter who you marry - all marriages/relationships need upkeep.

When I was 10 my aunt sent me a denim bag with a genuine Levi Strauss labeled pocket on it and red woven handles. Not an awful gift but didn't do much for a ten year old. 54 years later, I carry it when I go to dialysis three times a week and get constant compliments on it. Thank you very much, aunt Jeanne, many years too late.

Towards the end of our marriage I got my then husband a toilet plunger for his birthday. He looked at me really confused so I explained to him that if his favorite pastime was fishing he might have gotten some fishing gear or if it were golf he might have gotten some clubs, but since his favorite pastime seemed to be bringing up old s**t i thought that the toilet plunger was appropriate. Needless to say he did not find it as funny as I did.

My mom hosted a family reunion on my birthday. When I arrived, with my assigned pies and side-dishes, she sent me to the store with a list of things she forgot and $50. Her list items cost over $100. She told me she'd been so busy getting ready that she didn't get me a gift, so I should keep the change as my present. So, for my birthday, I baked for two days and paid for her party extras, and didn't even get cake. That year for Christmas, she gave my SIL and me matching monogram totes. My middle initial was wrong.

Gift exchange at work. I was 19-20 and all the ladies in my department were 40+. It was my first "real" job and I truly loved it and everyone I worked with. I got the cheesiest Christmas tree topper I had ever seen. Wasn't even in a box, but still had the tag. Thing is I had been talking about the fact that I couldn't afford an artificial. Christmas tree (I'm severely allergic to pine and cedar) and was bummed about it. I made my decorations myself that year during lunch and after work. I was pretty proud and showed them to everyone. Got that topper & almost cried. The other ladies made it up to me. But to be fair, 7 of 10 were Jewish immigrants. Maybe she didn't understand? Today I laugh about it. Yes, I still have it.
