I made one very big mistake in my relationship with my wife.  During our first Christmas together before we were married we had very little money and she thought it would be a good idea if we didn't buy each other anything.  I thought that meant nothing, nada, zero, zilch.  Seems like when a woman says
let's not get each other anything that is not what it means.  I found out in May that it means get me something, I don't care what,  but you had better not show up empty handed.  Do you have any idea how much emotion can build up in five months?  I do and I suggest you never, ever, fall for the don't get me anything scam.  It's not worth it.
