She hated the old one, old and cracked, and the space was tight. I went to 6 different stores with tape measure in hand to find the perfect one. I printed a To Jane/ Love Joe (these are not our real names but she knows that's how I refer to her on my blog) she read it and told me how sweet I was. She and my daughter got me a set of rubs (spices for BBQ) as I am the cook in the house. For the record, we had our 15th wedding anniversary a few months ago and knew each other ten years before that. My running joke is "I'll just be happy when she stops referring to me as her 'first husband.'" Joe And today’s gift to the woman I love was a new trash basket for under the kitchen sink.

His gifts were always pointed. He would also buy me clothes about 2 sizes too big to let me know that I was gaining weight. He would also send me flowers when he got interested in new women. That's why he is no longer my husband. I'm fortunate to have found a new hubby who is very sensitive and understanding. My first husband had a rather cruel demeanor. His gifts were always pointed.

I think you are right -- it's all about knowing someone well enough to know what "not" to get them. Hey Joe!

We are divorced now. I gave my second husband a daughter on Valentines Day. He got me nothing. We are divorced now too.
